... real fun day; My dad and I drove quite a few miles today to pick up his new toy; a 1931 Oldsmobile sports coupe. Loaded up, pumped up the AirLift bags to 50 psi and hit the road. My Silverado towed the Olds on the trailer like it wasn't even back there. It must weigh less than my 3500 lb. race ...
... swapping any of his 2500 take off parts onto my 1500? Both trucks are 2012 6.2liters except mine is a 1500 max tow and his is a 2500. I have air bags and a leveling kit but it still does not sit like the 2500. Thanks!
I went to the 4x4 shop today and asked about some options. The guy really pushed airbags on me and tried to talk me out of add-a-leaf springs. He quoted me $275 for the bags and another $300 to install them. I opted for the Pro Comp Add-A-Leaf for now and they were ...
Bags will help level the load when it starts to sag, but under normal conditions you just let the pressure off and everything is just like stock. They definitely won't freeze during the winter (unless you're filling them with ...
The 5100s are only front adjustable. They won't do anything for height to the rear of the truck. As far as bags are concerned, they'd help with the load but would keep stock height correct? My main conern would be during the winter. Won't they freeze? How hard is it to fill ...
... AAL's are great if you tow a lot, but it seriously degrades the ride quality when you don't have any weight in the back. I myself like to use air bags. They are easy to install, relatively cheap if you go for the manual fill option, and in my opinion they work great. Definitely do not affect the ...
... do anything for the truck squatting when loaded. The plan for the rear was to do add-a-leaf springs. I've read many mixed reviews about springs vs bags and springs making the ride worse, long vs short, etc. I'm going with springs as I don't want to do bags at all. My questions is should I go with ...
... then I would suggest if you want to keep your current truck. You need to upgrade to at least a SF 14 bolt axle, with either helper springs or bags. But, unfortunately your weak point in this case is going to be the 4.8. I hate to say it, but I would go around to a few dealers and see what ...
... and build a light weight flatbed for it. I just need the truck temporarily, maybe 6 months to be able to rig out. Already planned are a set of air bags for the rear. I'm not beyond putting 3/4 ton leaf springs. Just can you guys give some input on anything I can do? Ideas on brakes as well? Just ...
A couple of years ago I had airbags on my diesels. I would steer people towards the Firestone ride-rite bags. There used to be quite a quality difference between the AirLift and Ride-Rites. Not only in the bags but also in the mounts, and ...
