Hey All,
I've grown weary of my truck losing 2" of lift when loaded down for a family camping trip. I'm looking at installing Air Lift or Firestone air bags in the rear. I have a TJM 2" progressive lift, which I'm very happy with other than this issue.
I've read on Mud differing opinions on whether I should use stock height air bags, or install taller bags. It seems like taller bags will fill up the taller springs and do a better job of compensating for load, though some have said they (taller bags) will limit articulation. I'm not understanding why/how a taller bag which is only nominally inflated would limit articulation.
I do some moderate wheeling, but not while loaded. When wheeling I would have the bags inflated to whatever minimal amount the manufacturer specs as required at all times (5-10 psi?).
What say you about whether to get taller bags to account for my lift, or regular height bags?
Thanks for your input.
