When towing a heavy trailer {Do not have the Weight at the back of the Trailer or you 'll have trailer sway issues}
If doing a lot of towing You'll have to inspect the diff Fluid and transfer case fluid more often.
As I found out the drive shaft seal will need more inspections as this is the seal that will wear out more frequently. Hope you have the tow package on your truck {2 tranny coolers - is a must both primary and secondary tied in. Including tow haul function use this when braking and starting off ...
I'm putting the 7500 lbs Firestone on my rig.. looking forward to this
Thanks for your thoughts.
Very helpful, just purchased these for my 2018 f250. I tow a 36ft gooseneck 2 car hauler. If you have 6600lb on the axle of the truck and these airbags are rated at 5000lb do you think that's too much weight for these? Or am I not understanding something correctly.
They should work really well for that setup 👍🏻. To answer your question no that wouldn't be too much if you're referring to your rear axel weight on a scale being 6600lbs. Mainly because that weight would include the axel, wheels, tires etc. and that is weight that isn't weight being held by the airbags so it would still be under the 5000lbs mark.
The air bags don't up your payload capacity they just assist with suspension when loaded and take out some of the shock on bumpy roads
Zachery, thanks for video; so you were adding 5lb increases at gas stops, under trailer weight? Meaning you kept trailer connected while increasing air , correct?
Yes that's correct, I found that with towing my specific trailer the ride quality increased tremendously at a much higher psi than I thought was needed.
Great info, I just installed the same Airlift kit on my 2017. Are you still liking them?
I am 👍🏻 have a put 50k miles on them with no leaks or problems.
That’s awesome to hear thank you for your feedback.
Did these air bags raise the back of the truck at all with 5 lbs of air and totally unloaded? I don’t want my truck to sit high in the rear. It sits level now. Thanks
Great question! I plan on doing another video reviewing them after a year of owning, and some trouble shooting on installation etc. To answer your question though, yes. It does raise it even with 5psi but I would say it's only .25" if that with 5psi (not noticeable at all that). Obviously at higher psi it does raise it a good amount but I haven't officially measured how high it would go at max PSI.
@@ZachGriffith8 sounds good. Yeah I like that idea of a 1 year review. How does it ride unloaded with that 5lbs in it?
I talk a little more about this in my new video. ruclips.net/video/Pbmp770VjZ8/видео.htmlsi=B4PTriJvlwP-gSGy
What is your payload it has to be through the roof if you have 6,600 lbs just on the rear axle. Thats why its sagging your probably terribly over loaded
Do you know if I can still use the air lift 5000 to truck even if I lift it 3 inches ?
Yes, as long as the rear blocks have the bump stop resting points on them like the oem ones do. Most aftermarket blocks don't but I know there are a few that do.
What truck did you install it on ?
2015 F350 SRW CCSB
Did you ever make a video on unloaded ride quality?
I haven't, but I'll have to today.
@@ZachGriffith8 great I look forward to it!!
Wasn't able to today. But I plan on it tomorrow.
Here is a link for the video. Sorry about the quality. ruclips.net/video/Pbmp770VjZ8/видео.htmlsi=B4PTriJvlwP-gSGy
@@ZachGriffith8 Great video! I can't comment, but it answered all my questions. Thank you.
you said you stopped for gas.... my question is it appears you're driving a diesel...
how did you get that to work? I've had really poor experience with gas in a diesel engine... please share your trick for this as gas is significantly cheaper then diesel in Joe Biden's America and I would like the savings if I can do it
In most diesel manuals it says you can fill up your diesel trucks with gas every other fill up👍 really helps the wallet nowadays.
He also said he had 6,600lbs on rear axle his entire payload capacity is maybe half that on a swr one ton truck so he either doesn't really know what's going on or he's a danger to everyone around him. Sorry I edit my reply I watched rest of video he says a lot of stupid shit so he's just an idiot so good chance he may fill his tank with water or def or who knows what
