I have the same bags on my 2500 and they are awesome. I also have their auxiliary tank and air compressor that I could control each side independently. Very good. I haven’t had any issues with it. Very good product.
That’s awesome to hear! Yeah i was honestly blown away a while back when we installed the first one. I don’t think people realize the ride quality and overall quality fit & finish of these
So do you air it up before you lift something heavy? Of after? I’d probably put the compressor in the back wall of the bed because here in Florida where it’s always flooding I’d think the compressor would fry the moment water touches it or it’s submerged Also I have super springs on my 2500 so then I’d have to take these off correct?
In case of pump failure, how would you manually put air in bags? Would you just put a "T" in line to the bag supply line and run a separate line for manual ports?
Hi , have you converted a Newer Ram 2500 from coil springs to those airbags? I know they offer a conversion kit for Rams. If you did please post a video .Thanks!
Have you installed this on a Ford yet? Will it work with a B&W turnover ball gooseneck hitch? I ask because it looks like this setup might interfere with the pin handle.
What compressor did you guys use and will they work out of the box for lifted trucks? Mine is a 3 inch also can you use it to air up tires or something
Do you know if the 2500 has to have the 5th wheel hitch option in order to install these. I have a 2500 that doesn't have the 5th wheel option but want to go with this setup. Thanks!
They are two different ways of helping the load out on the truck. I think the guys who spend more time empty & then when they do haul something that’s closer to more than 70-80% of the trucks capacity , the RAS is excellent. It’s cheaper, simple, rides great loaded and unloaded. It’s added tension needs to have a good shock on board. The readylift air bags really help in any circumstance when towing. It’s not going to give you the articulation ability offroad that the RAS system would give you though. The bags can help you keep the truck sitting level loaded or unloaded which is nice because we all like our trucks to sit level. The readylift air system is a really sweet kit I think if someone told me they just tow a 44’ toy hauler to the desert and that’s all the trucks used for, maybe bags. If someone told me they tow a boat or side x side on a flat trailer and it weighed 7k lbs, the RAS would be the way to go Just my opinion on what might Make More sense
@@americanduramax My truck is empty probably 90% of the time but I have a 14K lbs trailer that I tow from time to time. I like my truck to sit a tad bit lower in the back when empty. That's why I'm a little hesitant to go with the RAS system. I do like the simplicity and cost of the RAS though. The air bags don't change your ride height when empty which is nice. When the RAS is at 20% stiffness how much does it change the ride height?
@@rc3designs I didn’t do much testing at the 25% mark. I imagine is almost cuts the added height in half though. The RAS is sweet. The bags right here aren’t cheap but it is nice that it keeps the ride nice

On the chev 3500, if you remove the upper spring aren't you losing your 3500 rating?
Great video I have 22 f350 dually I was told I need to have a wheel spacer due to the bags may scrub the inner tire

Never had a pump fail but absolutely you can run a t fitting in there and do that no problem at all!
What's the life span of the airbag? What the max weight you can load on these? Are they hotshot recommended?
These can handle loads far in excess of what the truck can handle or tow and yes longevity is no issues here, it can hot-shot no problem at all
How is the ride unloaded on a 3500 Silverado, my 2022 is like a leg with no knees on the highway.
Hi , have you converted a Newer Ram 2500 from coil springs to those airbags? I know they offer a conversion kit for Rams. If you did please post a video .Thanks!
definitely!! if we get the opportunity we definitely will!
Can the compressor for this kit, be used for a truck airhorn also?
Of course , you could tie it in , wait till you see one of my future videos here. I am doing something cool with that compressor
Do all kits come with the air compressor? I don’t need the compressor I have the M18 compressor to do it manually.
You can buy the bags without the compressor on our website and fill them manually just fine. The compressors are sold separately
@@americanduramax thanks sounds good
Have you installed this on a Ford yet? Will it work with a B&W turnover ball gooseneck hitch? I ask because it looks like this setup might interfere with the pin handle.
It is listed on their website description, i know the GM trucks it works with the B&W but we haven't done a ton on the other platforms just yet
Also, have you ever heard of these voiding the warranty?
They will not void warranty at all
Are you located in SoCal? Do you have a shop?
Yes we do! We are here right by Rancho Cucamonga. Shoot me an email so we can set something up! ScovelMotorsports@gmail.com
@@americanduramax
Do you still install these kits?
@@ipolitoarevalo2092 yes we do! please contact us to setup appointment
What compressor did you guys use and will they work out of the box for lifted trucks? Mine is a 3 inch also can you use it to air up tires or something
We used the readyair 400 2 channel compressor ; it works on lifted trucks too as long as your leaf springs are stock on the top part of them
Do you know if the 2500 has to have the 5th wheel hitch option in order to install these. I have a 2500 that doesn't have the 5th wheel option but want to go with this setup. Thanks!
nope! Doesn’t matter if you have the 5th wheel prep package or not. These will work buddy
Have you done a 2500 Ram yet? Im looking to get mine done next week and cant find anything as it replaces the rear coils.
We haven't done any Rams just yet but eager to get a solution for them
How does this compare to the Roadmaster RAS system?

Did you install it on your lifted truck with your Cognito lift ? And bigger tires? And will the compressor interfere with traction bars
Can you get these for a 23 lz0?
I believe so as long as you have a dual exhaust system & i believe its a larger single bag setup but its to the frame just like this one
😂 I would blow out the air at every red light because I’m immature
Hahahaha that makes 2 of us 😂😂😂
Driving on gravel or a Canadian winter would destroy that stuff. That to me is a pavement queen set up.
