PSD Airbag Question

Hi all,

Obviously those of you with a CC /Long Bed /4x4, are probably experiencing major road bounce @ certain road speeds. I have an '04 PSD with a 6" Donahoe lift, all spring. A friend of mine who owns a 2 wheel drive CC Chevy had rear airbags installed a few days ago (between frame and top of rear spring). He supposedly claims that most if not all of his road bounce is gone at all speeds..... even goes as far as saying it rides like his Suburban. Now remember, his truck is an IFS 2-wheel drive Chevy.

-Does anyone out there have air bags for their PSD 4x4 and had the same results?

I don't offroad this truck. I do take it offroad without really articulating the springs.........

-Will airbags articulate with the springs without ruining them?

I just installed a set of Ride-Rite Airbags from Firestone and I love them... all the sag is gone from extra weight and the ride is most impressive... I love them... and if you are a DIY kind of guy install is a breeze drill 4 holes a side then bolt them up....

Oh ya I have a F-250 SD Crew V-10 with a welding machine in the back

I was told that Firestone bags are the best out there so I bought a set... I paid 319 Canadain at Custom Truck Toys in Grande Praire Alberta..

I have had them for a month now and other guys around that I work with have had them for years no troubles whatsoever.....
