adding airbags for trailering

[steelynorm]

Alright my boat and tongue weight is making my landcruiser rear end sag way too much. Has anyone added airbags to their cruiser?
if so any help with brands and pitfalls would be greatly appreciated.
they seem relatively cheap and i might be able to get an onboard compressor to boot.

I'll be following the info in the FAQ here when I install airbags before our Summer traveling.

I use Air lift. Easy to install,cheap,work great. 1 hour install in your driveway. MIke

Summitt Racing had the best price. I would pass on the compressor. I just fill the bags when I check the boat trailer tires and let it out when I done.

I have the Firestone Ride Rite bags. They differ from the Air Lift bags in that they have the air line come in from the top. They also have you reduce the bump stop by about half IIRC. Obviously, with any vendor, you could do whatever you want. One bag failed on me, Firestone replaced it quickly.

I've researched them before and am the one that pointed the OP to the FAQ. I was curious which brand he decided to purchase and from which vendor. It wasn't clear from his last post.

I've had Airlifts on three different trucks. Perfect every time, never failed me. One tip, Airlift recommends enlarging the hole in the spring perch for the air line. In my experience this is not always necessary for a lifted truck. But if using with stock coils, you absolutely need to do this.
