I've got Air Lift bags on mine, had to do it because with a toolbox, my ATV's 700 lbs. sits almost entirely behind the rear axle. Was big time nose up and probably a bit dangerous.
I have an '04 with traditional leafs, so my bag setup is a bit different than inside the coils. But as far as bags go in general, I'd not own a truck again without bagging it...

I have the bags in my truck and like other have said you don't notice them when you let the air out. I can't see how they would ever effect a warranty claim. I also have updated mygig several times and had not issues with the update. The system works great with the update - just don't shut it off until its done.

I bought a set but haven't found any need for them to date. Thought it would sag but it didn't with my useage. So they are still new in the box if anyone is interested. They are the Airlift brand.

You must buy a lot of vehicles cuz that controller is like 500 bucks isn't it. I would be lucky to see a dealer pay for the bags. In fact I have a hard time with that because dealers do not even recommend towing no matter what you drive. If you break something while towing and even if you are within the range of your vehicles capacity I would say good luck getting warranty. Same as when you put a snow plow unless of course the dealer is dumb enough to sell you one with a plow on it.

Default towing and warranty

i have a hard time with the last comment, the truck is designed to tow and comes with options to help tow and also why wouldn't a dealer want to a accept a warranty claim, seems stupid to me. if they warranty something they get paid to fix it.

The dealer recomended to have this done, but they told me they would not install it. They refered me to a local shop intown which they installed parts/labor $450 called Crysler and they said there could be a recall coming up soon. I was cut a check form crysler for the work done.

Any idea what the recall will be for?
