Anyone using airbags/load levelers?

[Country Mav]

Just wondering if any of y'all are using air bags or load levelers on y'all's trucks? Which ones are y'all running? Anything I should know about them before I make my decision? I'm not needing anything fancy, just would like to level the truck when I'm loaded.... Thanks!!

I'm using the air bags from Firestone to help level out my truck when towing my 5th wheel. They're capable of having 100psi in them but I don't get anywhere near that - usually around 60psi is all I need. Have never had a problem with them either - work great every time!

Yep,I also run the firestone bags for my 5th too,they work great,I run 45 to 50 psi to level it out.I also have the digital aircommand that monitors psi.

I run Firestone ride rite bags on my F-350. Thinking about buying the air compressor kit for it. I air up and down so much cus of weight changes and I get tired of looking for an air supply. With air compressor kit you are able to air up and down the bags from inside your cab. It would be a great addition.

Firestone or Airlift ( I have run both )
I like the outboard style vs the inboard axle tube mounted style because it can hep with sway also

Amazon has a good deal on the compressor and wireless remote ( love it)

things to think about = do you have a spring lift

are you do you have a fifth wheel hitch? they make bag mounts to work with most

I was looking at the airlift kit. I don't have a 5th wheel, but I pull my gooseneck a lot. I don't mind having to air it up or down each time. What happens if you leave them aired up some? Rides too rough? Thanks for the replies y'all!

I went with the Airlift 5000 Load Lifter kit for a few reasons. I wanted outside the framerail bags, and I needed a kit that was taylored to my B&W gooseneck hitch plates. Airlift makes brackets that work for my hitch. The firestone kit albeit a good one would have made swiss cheese out of my hitch.

I also recommend that you keep your right and left bag independant of each other even if you use a compressor system. This acts as a natural swaybar.

u always leave 5 psi to protect the bag

I find that running a little more actually can take the ride from the spring and transfer it to the bags making it smoother

I have a B&M gooseneck hitch along with the Firestone airbags...no problems seen here. Do you have a different mounting on your hitch that would make the Firestones a bad choice?
