Nice.... and the Canuck buck is worth more then the American !!! Still would have to factor in duty, border fees and shipping. Good deal though!

 

do these at all affect the ride when they are not being used, basically at minimum air pressure?

 

Dropped to 5 psi.... not at all. they just have air in them to keep the shape and not let them sag, get caught in a coil of anything.

 

so with these air bags how do u know how much air is enough for the load you have in the box or on the hitch? for example... my quad squats my ram to pretty close to perfectly level, and i want to lift the front to level it while its unloaded but if i do that and load my quad it will squat... do you just load the gear(quad.. etc..), then inflate the bags to raise it back up? what happens if you over inflate, or overload?

 

I am waiting from a responce from Firestone on the max capicity of the bags. No where in any of the paperwork I got with them does it say, I can not find it on the website either. In both places it says to follow the chart on page one? I have no page one.... Go figure.


But, you load, then fill. Unless it is something you carry alot, like an atv. Then load it, fill to desired amount. When done unload the atv and check the bag pressure. Next time, you could fill to the unloaded psi and load the quad and be good. The load will change the psi reading.

 

Max PSI on these bags is 35 PSI. Max load is what ever your truck is rated at.

Before I hitch my utility trailer to my truck I add 35 psi to the bags then load the trailer and let air out to the psi what I want.
The load on the truck or hitch does not increase the psi on the bags much if at all.

With a load of approximately 1,000 lbs in the bed, The increase in the psi is almost unreadable on a Gage with 1 psi increments.

 

Thanks, yeah I meant max psi. No where with the bags does it say.

 

Ti....just ordered mine in and do not understand how those spacers go in on top and cannot tell from pics...rest is very clear.....really like the lic. plate mounting idea!

Thanks for any help!

Bag pressure is unaffected by load... the bag simply changes shape.

The only way to increase pressure by increasing load is to have non pliable walls to your container (think shock absorber).

 

Just did a truck show yesterday and learned Air Lift has signed a contract with Dodge to make Mopar branded bags for the rear coils of the Ram. Mopar branded setups will include a compressor & wireless air fill system. Can't wait to see how much dealers are gonna charge for this!!!
