After some time travelling in our new pickup towing the Arcadia we noticed driving on some roads was way to bumpy... So to make our trips a lot smoother we head over to to Air Lift to get new air suspension installed.

If you want to further improve your ride replace your stock shocks with Bilstein shocks

Proof that the OEMs are ripping off new truck buyers. At current prices no one should have to beef up a heavy duty truck suspension to stabilize a load within GVWR specs. Thank you for sharing this story.

For sure your comment is spot on. Also, how about tires suited for off road, not the junk they put on.

I went through the same thing. For me logic sense I removed no original equipment of the suspension. I added airbags, what did it do for me? It’s stiffened up the suspension even more for handling heavier loads. I then had to change to Fox shocks which then made a difference on a smoother ride. A little better don’t expect the world.

My 2022 Ram has a smooth ride with coil springs vs leaf springs. I don't have the air bags but I heard that it makes little difference in my truck. However, I'm sure this will make a significant change in your ride quality.

I wonder if this system is really better than my factory installed system? It may cost a little less, but is it better with less driver interface?

This proove that the stock suspension is not doing the job as it should even without a load. For the price of the truck, it's disappointing and we didn't get what we are paying for. In my opinion these air lifts are really essentials.

Why didn’t you cover the warranty and price of the air bag system???

Are you allowed to share information about total cost including installation? That would be nice to know for a cost vs benefit analysis.

@dylandelarosa9856 2 жыл бұрын

About $400-500 for the kit. Couple hundred for installation

So I have a 2021 F450 which I tow a 18K fifth wheel. The concern that has me looking at air bags is the bounce I get going over bridges and what not. The bounce is defiantly coming from the back of the truck. Do you notice a difference before an after as far as rear bounce when towing?

Is your truck a long bed or regular bed? And we can’t find a truck for nothing. Where did you finally get one? Love your channel and you guys.

Your air lifts take the weight off your stock springs and this takes awhile your stability. If you notice the position location of where the air bags were installed? They are inside of your springs removing the stability of your stock springs be careful taking turns the air bags air will shift and you’ll be loosing STABILITY on turns , be careful I found them to be a waist of 1,800.00 dollar

The one thing I don’t do is to advertise for a company unless they pay me to do so. No sticker’s on my vehicle.

@uta667563 2 жыл бұрын

If a product makes a big difference in the comfort, operation or safety of my vehicle, I have no problem putting a sticker on my car. However the sticker will only go on AFTER the product proves it's worth and I will install the sticker where I want. One thing I won't do is put the sticker on paint. It will go on glass.

I once got warned by a D.O.T. officer about altering vehicle suspensions. He stated 《you are messing with the manufactures vehicle rating. In the event you are envolved in an accident, it goes to court and the attorney for the opposition finds out you modified the vehicle suspension you will more than likely wind up losing a very costly lawsuit.》
