Installed air bags on the truck to level it out when pulling 5er, as a result trailer sat nose high by a few inches. I installed 2 inch thick blocks between axles and springs along with longer U bolts.Can`t believe how much better it tows,my wife even noticed it.

about the best 250.00 you can spend, for towing that is...........

I had air bags on my old truck and they made a night and day difference in how my fiver pulled. Good Investment for sure..

Air bags are great investments

they are great equipment just put some on my buddys truck yesterday but i think firestone could put a little better instruction or just put the holes in the bottem bracket so that it doesn't matter which way it is on there that would of helped alot

The ones I used were AIR LIFT brand.

Helped a buddy put in his Firestone bags on Friday. I've got Airlift ones.

He got some single gauge compressor. . . didn't have all the parts he needed. Got it from the same place he got his lift. . . you would think they would have sold him a descent unit but no. . . cheapy.

ya i always check everything off when i pick up things from the shop i use they think i am crazy but when i told them why they understood

Please don't hurt me for asking this question, but why not just add a leaf or two to the spring pack?

No pain involved.
With the air bags you can adjust them for different weights that are being carried, so that you do not have a stiff ride all of the time.
Plus springs can eventually sag again.

Good point - I didn't think about the "adjustability" of the air bags vs springs for ride quality.

Thanks,

My airlift bags are 6 years old and on the 2nd. truck!
No leaks ever, they are awesome!
