Here's an older pic of the truck before I installed the bars and air deflectors, air bags and coil spring spacers.



Due to the truck seeming to ride a bit low for my taste when towing, I opted for some airbags to help, but then the front needed a little raise so after installing the air bags in the rear, installed a couple of solid coil spacers in the front and LOVE the stance of the truck now. A modest upgrade but it's usually the little things. Now when I hitch up, I don't have to worry about the sagging rear. They are the firestone bags. Seem to install pretty easy. Although it's recommended to remove the wheels, I just backed up the truck on ramps and the bags compressed enough to install them between the axle and the frame. The hardest part was the passenger side where the exhaust is. I just removed the shock from the lower mount to move it out of the way just enough to squeeze the bag up in there and whala. Right now they are inflated to about 10PSI. I little more than minimum of 5.







For now, I have the air valve installed in a pre-existing hole in the driver's side fender wall but plan on installing a tank and compressor later on. Have everything to do it, just wanted to get this far at least for my camping trip this weekend. After that, the other stuff goes in. Plus, it's nice to keep it simple at first to make sure there are no leaks and the connections are solid. What's nice about it is that if any of the bags fail, the ride height goes back to stock. How can I loose?!

 

It looks good!

What height did you gain by adding the air bags? Looks like at least an inch or 2.

 

I'm thinking about an inch in the rear and 2 to 2.5 in the front.

 

I want to get air bags, where did you get them and how much were they?
