Default My afternoon project:::
I am planning to complete the installation of my new Airlift airbag leveling system this afternoon. No more head lights in the trees for me... Decided to go with Air bags, instead of the "add a leaf" route....

I used them when I had my Tundra pulling a 10K lb travel trailer. They work awesome, just don't forget to adjust or get a new hitch height, unless adding the bags levels everything, truck and trailer.

Are you running separate lines to each bag or are you linking them?

I am running separate lines with the analog dual control. Wanted each bag to be independent of each other.

GOOD CALL!! running the bags together can get you in trouble on a truck with a heavy load and cornering

I put a pair on my f150 to pull my fifth wheel heavy camper. Works very well. Wasn't hard to install. Not needed for my boat.

I did the installation yesterday...was pretty straight forward. I will get some pics today or tomorrow of the final install. Load the ATV, and surprise how quick the pump level the truck with a push of the button.

Cost varies as does coming with compressor or not.

Depends on what you want
