@@allywilkeforsenate Better yet, fold the line back on itself and tape it to keep it folded. Using any type of clamping on the end is likely to create damage or change the shape (like a crease). Either can create an air leak because the o-ring in the fitting will not seat well.

Better yet do not try clamping. Remember these lines are plastic and can reduce integrity of line of just Crack. Best thing is to put a screw in the end of line to cap off

I had a person ask me why my airbags air up higher then normal, there is a good reason why . I adjusted them to be a little higher due to hauling heavy permit loads , but in this video they look a lot higher due to I am not on flat ground . Before I adjusted the air bags back in 2008 the truck looked like it was sagging in the rear when I hauled heavy coils , so I simply adjusted them up . And no I have had no problems from this though the years , and I drive cross country to about any state. Every truck I have seen can be adjusted.

Adjusting height is OK, but you are also changing the axle pinion angle - unless you compensate by making an angle adjustment. An incorrect angle will create noise, the worse the angle the more the noise, and will wear your u-joints much faster.

If you over stretch the airbag then you can rip the bolt apart , but if the bottom of the airbag was missing all your air would be gone . If your meaning the platform the airbag is bolted to then that could have rotted or broken off . This I have seen happen.

Suggestion: use mentioned that you used WD-40. That is a poor product to deal with rust. Best practice is to use a product labeled "penetrant". It works better and faster with the primary purpose of counteracting corrosion. WD-40 does not do that. Apply it as early as you can in your process to allow it to do as much work as possible.

my favorite tool is a grinder using a grinding disk or cutoff wheel. I use this in many of my videos . you can pick up a cheap grinder at a harbor freight store for $15 , and the disks are $2 each. its a really good price. i have had my grinder for over 20 years now $12 at the time for it. this will cut that bolt off quick ! and no hassle !

Man you probably installed wrong airbag. It is strangely un-parallel. I would reccomend you to use ordinary wrench or better torqe wrench especially on upper bead plate. On upper side is usually 30-40Nm (Torqes are on sticker) When installing you can use external air supply just enough to lift it

Well I had a lot of comments on this , so I will explain. One guy said that one of the shim plates was wore out on my spring . While that is a common problem on Freightliner truck , this not not my problem. I was doing this job in my driveway and my driveway is uneven, so it appears to have an issue. Next it’s a new airbag, so these can take a few days to stretch out if it’s been sitting on a shelf at the store a long time . My truck is fine , it’s a 2007 model and I bought it in 2008 so it’s fine .

@@countryboyllccountryboyllc3507 if it’s like this on flat ground , and your airbags are not new then it’s the shim plate on the suspension near that air bag most of the time . Sometimes it’s the suspension itself which will cost you a small fortune to replace, At no real advantage. As long as everything is tight and your alignment your fine , don’t worry about it .
