This air bag kit requires the removal of the upper overload spring.

 

Getting it installed Friday. I’ll post pictures when it is done.

On another note, if you guys were to recommend airbags to someone. What brand and style would you recommend?

 

Air Lift or Firestone are the most common ones that I've seen here on the forum.

They should be plumbed independently, especially if you're going to carry a slide-in camper.

 

I like the concept of the ReadyLIFT quad air bags and look forward to your experiences and pictures.
Thanks.

right but what does that have to do with this guys truck?

dual bags (2 bags per side) sounds like it could have some benefits like softer ride since it can run slightly less psi for same load?

there are lots of things that might make sense on a personal truck bs a military vehicle and airbags might be one of those things

im not an expert just saying unless you really know the true answers you example of a military truck doesn’t really make sense.

 

Curious if there are really any performance benefits to using the dual airbags on each side or if ReadyLift is trying to increase consumption of their existing lower rated airbags by doubling up for heavier applications. The half ton setup on their site only uses 1 bag on each side, so makes me wonder.

 

My 1st thought is if you need dual airbags on each side, You have the wrong truck to begin with.

2nd, perhaps some old school, I could be wrong. But I was always told never to reuse axle u-bolts.

3rd, these bags actually limit your wheel travel upward.

Now whether axle ubolts are torque yield or not, I don't know..... Don't know if I would be comfortable with it

 

if I’m buying a set today I’m just going with an airlift setup. I wouldn’t choose the Readylift dual setup but I see the intrigue.

and I wouldn’t want to write it off ignorantly so I’m looking forward to the dialogue here since I might be putting a set of airbags on my truck soon to help level heavier loads

 

agreed…cheap enough to replace such an important part of the rear suspension lol

 

Here is a video link I found on YouTube

 

I saw that video and am looking forward to real world reviews.

 

What the video said sot of agrees with what was said earlier. With 2 bags you should be able to run lower pressure so better ride. Somebody report back when they get them.

 

Did they get installed Friday?
Would love a review!

 

^^^ What he said.

 

The shop installed them yesterday along with the Air Lift Wireless Compressor. This morning I hooked up to the horse trailer loaded 5 horses and took them to the arena. Previously on my 2015 F-350 with just the Firestone AirBags I usually ran 90 psi to get my truck to level out. The new setup I was only running 55 psi and it was level. First impressions were the ride seemed like it was a lot smoother, and not to mention the Wireless Compressor is awesome. Here are some pictures of everything installed
