Adding Airbags to AHC (1 Viewer)

[TeCKis300]

For anybody else wondering... The "13-18 set (PN W237604135 (also says some 4Runner and FJC)" set does NOT fit...
The "08-12(W237604164 (also says Infinity QX80, all 200's and Sequoia) " probably fits all era 200s, definitely fits my 2014.

Yup. The 4164s are the largest bags in Firestones lineup at 5.5" diameter x 10" length.

Airlift has an incrementally longer bag in their lineup, model 60927 at 5.5" diameter x 11.5" length.

I have since switched to the Airlift for the added length to accommodate my long travel setup. To avoid the airline from pulling out of the bag at full droop. What I really need to do is bite the bullet run the airline to the bottom/axle side like @radman .

Leveling working out great to get that last fine adjustment. Slammed AHC in low for ease of access and aired up the right rear to about 40psi for about 2". The flexibility of the suspension is awesome, and it's always worth the extra bit of effort to level out the car for sleeping comfort. In contrast, friends were stacking RV legos and rocks, and of course giving me a good ribbing about the robot car that just dropped itself 4" and is level with a quickness. Lucky for them I had dinner responsibilities that night, and with a gang of hungry kids, I got to cooking while they continued setting up before sundown.

I've yet to run it with my trailer but I've got few thousand mile trip coming up this mth. Thanks for sharing your incredible rig. Pretty shocking weights and I scale my LX in at 8000lbs while towing. You're at 8000lbs before hitching up! Incredible that anything stock will tolerate that kind of load, and it speaks volumes to how incredible AHC is to even hang in there. 270k miles no less!

I think you've got the right setup there for airbags. Could combine them with front and rear spacers to preload the coil springs and help AHC a bit. I do agree you may be heavy enough to warrant normal LC springs. Let us know how it all works out.

I know this is a while back, but in this photo were you able to drop the tailgate and raise the liftgate with the yakima and carrier swung out like that?
