AirLift vs. Firestone

[PabloVTA]

Anyone have the bags in your rear coils?

My trailer is giving me some serious sag, and I need to pump up the back.

Looking for advice on which system works well, and any issues to look out for if you've installed them, thanks.

Brent can share some insight on this too. He uses Airlift as well.

I have airlift. They work as advertised, but my experience is that if you have a lift, you may need longer bags than the normal one. They make bags that are 1" and 2" longer than standard. The standard length ones didn't give me any lift when influted. I now have the longest ones and they work great.

so is there a way to hook them up to the same compressor for ARB's , thru a manifold? or should they use their own compressor?

haven't seen any options for the "longer" version....any chance on getting a part number?

I've had the standard bags for several years now. Standard before I had a lift and just put the same ones back in when I did the OME 2 1/2" lift. I've just got them on separate lines so there's no transfer of air pressure between the bags. You can purchase an Airlift compressor and on board guages to inflate from the cab, but I really don't see the need outside of the bling. If you already have CO2 or an air compressor, it's very easy and quick to add air to the bags. Used these before the heavy OME lift and took care of any sag I had on a 4000 lb trailer if that helps define things a little more.

I've been very happy with them and they weren't that expensive!
