Anyone put on rear air bags on a lowered F-150??? I have a 2001 F-150 and am trying to find some air bags for the rear to raise it up when needed.... There seem to be some plenty for the stock trucks but none for lowered ones....


Thanks Pete

 

Welcome to the site;
The air bag usually mounts between the frame and spring for normal applications, but now that the space is limited, the task becomes a little more difficult.
This is where you have to get creaive with mounting the bag. You just need to make sure that the travel is not limited by the mounts and keep in mind that the effectiveness of the bag is slightly decreased when they get mounted towards the center. Does that make any sense? The closer to the center of the axle the bags are mounted the more leverage the wheels have to compress them, so they become less effective.
You can perform this upgrade, you just have to get a little creative with mounting.

 

Summit has a kit from air lift for putting helper springs on lowered trucks. http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku I hope that helps some.

 

Thanks guys, I think I will go with thr bags from Summitt....
