Just wondering who's running them and any pro's or cons for install? Just bought a new to me use LE3505 toy hauler and would like to install air bags. Thank you,

Chet

 

I started with just Firestone bags, manual. Then I put on and AirLift Smart air controller...sweet.

 

I have airlift 5000 bags with a wireless on board compressor. Works great and I would recommend it.

I mounted the compressor above the spare tire, below the bed. I also plumbed in a manual port in case the compressor ever failed.

No regrets.

 

I've got Hellwig bags. Larger diameter bag so you get a better ride at low pressures. I've got the Firestone wireless controller hooked up to it. I put Firestone airbags on the 02 years ago. Worked fine. The inboard mount of the bags adds a touch of sway that you get used to quickly. Put Airlift bags on the wife's 01. A little cutting and welding of the brackets and they were mounted outboard on the frame above the leaf springs. No issues with them either.

Any of them should work for you.

 

 

 

pics Chet or the purchase is just a pipedream

 

AirLift load lifter 7500xl. cons-doesn't eliminate chucking but still a drastic improvement over stock. pros-completely erases any sagging of the rear suspension putting you back at stock ride height. Installed myself for less than $500 from E-trailer. Option to incorporate on-board air.

 

Cheap Firestone bags and brackets from Whitney . For a number of years. Manual operation. Pulling hose off when not in use to vent.
Few years later, I installed harbor freight pump, gauge and ball valve.

I set my bags to 40 psi with 5th wheel. About 2" of sag. Driveshaft nice and straight. 70psi to much, I get universal chatter upon taking off from dead stop with that heavy RV weight with drive line angle being not aligned

Bags vented to atmosphere all other times with ball valve open. I know, Specs say minimum pressure or bags will be destroyed, That is BS. , My bags are vented and have been for 10 years. I don't want bags stiffing my ride when I am unloaded.

Air bags and moryde pin box on rv,. She rolls down highway nice and smooth. No jerky jerky or bouncy bouncy.

 

Tim wish I could. I barely get around on these things. Some day I'll learn. If you want to come bye you can post them for me! God bless,

Chet

 

Yours is a dually to right? Guys I'm sorry I didn't get back sooner me and wife have been really busy. Just got home from San Diego with my son. Took 2 1/2 hours this morning just to get there. Okay, thanks for all the replies. I'll look at each one and see what I can get. Firestone is what my son said but I wanted something different. He had to add to his brackets before mounting. Didn't want to go threw that. Having my 5th wheel hitch installed Friday. Just didn't want to do it myself. Using a Curt Q20. Letting them do the wiring to. I've used T&T before and they are straight up guys. Leaving next Thursday for the dunes with the family and grand kids. Have to get there LT80's running, they've been nothing short of a pain every year. But these two really out run the others that size out there. God bless,

I wanted to give another recommendation for the Airlift Kit. Not only does the product hold up for a long time, but the companies warranty and support is amazing.

Long story short, my grandpa installed the 57215 kit more then 10 years ago.
Contacted support about a possible air leak/poor condition of the bags.
I had no documentation, other then a few pieces of paper and took pictures of the system themselves.

Support replied back, that they are sending me new bags right away.

Pretty impressed.

 

Thank you for your reply!

 

Air lift as well for the warranty. Mine have the internal jounce bumper and I don't think i would get that next time. Seems to make the ride unloaded more rough. I like the idea of the Hellwigs.
