Air bag question

Hey all,

My Excursion has Airlift bags installed for the PO. I have in cab control but no idea how high I can go (PSI), what the limit is. All I know is the bags say Airlift, they're black and what I would call a double donut stack per side. I have no idea what the model is. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Airbags for our size trucks are usually adjustable between 5 & 100 psi. Make sure you run at least 5psi in them. Then you can adjust PSI according to your personal preference. Just make sure you don't exceed 100psi.

BTW, I think you probably have Loadlifter 5000 looking at their site. You may want to call Air Lift to find out specifically.

Reach Air Lift technical support by phone Monday-Friday 8-5 p.m. Eastern Time or send an E-mail 24/7. (800) 248-0892 techsupport@airliftcompany.com

I just reinstalled my AirLift 5000 bags on my X. Monsta is correct, they are adjustable from 5 to 100 psi. The bags should have 5000 printed on their side, if you can find it.

As an FYI for anyone thinking about lifting their truck and having AirLift helper bags, Airlift makes a great product called lock and lift, which are a series of one inch lift blocks that lock together for either a 2, 4, or 6 inch lift that goes under the bag. I installed the 6 inch lift blocks and it works great. (The shop that installed my 6 inch skyjacker lift was not aware of this option, so they just removed the bags.)
