Great video btw I installed the same bags on my ram few years ago, It makes me laugh when i see the comments on how people are so concerned when towing a 24 foot Camper , I have been towing a 33.5 foot 9000 lbs camper for the last 8 years with my Ram 1500 3.92 gears across states and mountains and its thanks to these air bags .
Hi, I was wondering with all the are out does it ride hard like bottomed out?
Holy smokes I literally was just shopping for this kit for my 1500 now I even have a tutorial 😅
Heck yeah! Get that open box special 💪😂
For anyone doing this in the future, hook a T connection from both air bag lines to to 1 so you only have to fill one Schrader valve instead of both to the same psi!
Thank you! This is super helpful. I just purchased an 18’ car hauler to tow my ‘68 Chevelle back from Alaska and my 2017 Ram is squattin like a saggin wagon. Can’t wait to get these installed so my truck tows level again. Thanks for the detailed video.
You guys have a talent for this. Well done every step was laid out precisely with good explanation and narrative. Keep up the good work!
Bro, you are a top guy. You do things well not because you follow rules, but because you obey to common Principles.
Great job! I plan on installing this kit on my 2012 RAM 1500 as I plan to tow a 24' toy hauler around New Hampshire and Maine. This upgrade is definitely a less expensive route than buying a new 2500!! Looking forward to your load/towing test.
Thx for the video!! Installing mine on Sunday!!!
Genius on the license plate bolt replacement!
Old post...
But, I purchased this same unit... I am very happy 😊 with this purchased product from Airsuspension and I have never looked back.. Also, I am 100% pleased with the WiFi use this product puts out.. Never really had a problem with connecting to the system.. I like 👍 this feature the best...
Saved money on the kit as well only 1 left!
Thank you for this. Great details.
Literally doing the exact same thing for my 2015 Ram 1500 Big Horn! I'm also looking to buy a 24' enclosed trailer for my move haha.. Moving to Tennessee in a month from Southern California (Finally). Please update us on how it tows with this setup. What weight distribution hitch did you buy for the trailer? Need to get this kit, tow mirrors, and hitch still. Good luck on your move, sounds like you're dialed! And big thank you for this video, now I feel (somewhat) confident in installing this on my own.
I might want to add this to my truck one day. I had a old camaro that had air bags on the rear. It had a T fitting between the airbags and one valve they you air both up at the same time.
Excellent instructional video !!! With your video im going to install mine with no worries!!!!! Thanks for this video , new subscriber now !!!
Very nice install going to be doing this to my Ram soon too.
Heck yeah 💪
Thanks for that video. I’ve watched a lot of your ram upgrades. I’m a girl and will be doing this to my truck. I need to haul a 16 foot car trailer 1900 miles. Last time the trailer went across the country with a 2200 pound car, by the end the rams back end was squatting pretty bad.
You did a really good job when my buddy always put airlines on his truck he will always get real thin rubber hose that will slide over that and he would cover the whole airline and then that way if it did rub one anything there was no possible way of getting a hole rubbed in it
This was a really good video I think you did a great job...🤩
Great video. All the info. Concise. No bull shit. Well done.
Looks awesome thank you for the video brother 👍👍👍👍💯🙌 looks great 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks man! Can’t wait to try them out with the trailer in a day or so 💪
Dang man, now I want air bags and yet I don’t even tow that much haha looking good and can’t wait to see them in action!
Really liking how they look after the install 💪
Seems like a lot of work but doable. Not sure if I will farm it out to keep warranty. They seem very expensive installed /labor. You make it look easy. Thanks 305. Cheers!
Awesome J《☆》Nice installation Brother🤳Using the Tag mount holes is very convenient. ChicagoElectric tools ain't too bad😎🎱☮🔊🖖👍
Nice video. How do these bags ride when completely deflated? I tired bags before back in the 70's and 80's and they rode like empty Mack dump truck when they were deflated.
Is there a video of you towing with this? About to haven kit delivered today!
Awesome video. Did u torque the bolts
Would you add the the air compressor mod for this an witch one?
Awesome 👌 going to get this
A trick with the bags is don’t use both valves at the plate use a tee valve before the plate so you just put a single valve threw the plate so you put air in one valve and you get equal air pressure
Was thinking this when I saw another video and thought the same thing equal pressure with no messing around 👌
I wondering would it fit on a 2015 ram 1500 with a 4-inch rough country lift 🤔
Today I towed 10,100lbs 38 RV trailer I have the airlift 1000HD it helps a great deal 👍 love the airbags
That’s awesome! No weight distribution hitch?
@@BoostedMotorsports no weight distribution hitch I sure have used one only went 140km my fuel mileage was 18.5L to 100km
Any chance this puts the payload a out up??
Do you know if putting a t in the line to have a single fill valve to fill both faster and stay even.whether or not that has any negative affects like letting the truck away more . If the shocks are linked and the truck goes around a corner I feel this will compress the outside turn side and allow the inner turn side to lift making the truck when not towing feel like its leaning more or is that now how bags work..
Whats the difference in bags for this stock suspension setup and the 2/4 drop setup on the hell ram?
Do you think these would work with the reverse level?
Are all your shocks still stock. I bought my 2015 ram 1500 used. Has the same set up in rear as yours, with air bags. Did you have to do anything to the front end ?
How good do they hold up over time will they dry rot, crack or anything like that after a while.
Will this work on my ram 1500 2014 4x4 with the belltech lowering kit 2/4 drop
Big friends come in handy.
Does this kit work for lifted trucks? My ram has a mild (6 inch) lift with 35s. Also, why would this have 2 valves? wouldnt it lift more evenly if there was one valve 'T' ing off into each bag?
Is there any difference between the suspension on this truck and the 21 classic?
Everytime I watch your videos, it cost me money! 😂 Oh well.. Nice job! 👍
Haha this mod seems well worth it for the soft springs on these trucks 💪
I am currently building an auto level system for my rickety old 12valve, Similar air bag set up that rides on the leaf springs. but I am tying my air bags into an autolevel air valve then to a air dump switch which gets its air from a compressor tank that I mounted on the frame. The compressed air will be supplied by the trucks factory turbo charger which will charge up the air tank through a 1 way check valve. With this system I Dont have to check bag pressures or ride height. once I set the height it will ride at that set level loaded or empty automatically. The air dump switch is to dump the air bags to unhook the trailer easier or for servicing some thing on the truck that requires the air to be dumped.
Can you install it without removing the spring and shocks ?
I’m about to order mine but it shouldn’t matter if I have a 4” lift kit right?
thank you for posting your bag install. I've been pulling a 7000 Lbs trailer and have been meaning to do this job to increase rear end stability and leveling. Give us an update down the road and let us know if this was a significant quality of life improvement when towing your trailer all loaded up.
Made a HUGE difference! Feels like a 2500 in the back now and doesn’t bounce and buck when you hit big dips anymore. I would definitely do it again if askedb
Good video man. I just installed the same airlift kit on my f350 to help with our truck camper that sits in the bed. Works good but now it sways worse than before.
utilizas los orificios ovalados existentes en el chassis y colocas tornillos con tuercas.. los tornillos autorroscantes tienden a aflojarse con la vibracion..
Excellent vid actually...
Question, did you consider the coil air bags?
If not why?
Question 2, 24 foot car trailer is getting up there, not sure if it's a 7 or 10 k trailer....
Wondering what you think it'll weigh loaded?
I'm not positive how much my 5.7 2017 will tow legally and comfortably...
it’s not legal at all but i’ve had 22k behind a 14 1500 with the 5.7. now it didn’t like it but it made it from cleveland to st. louis. and that’s not the only time it’s been over the max towing capacity. it’s all about how you distribute the weight and run through the gears. also with that kinda weight even if you have trailer brakes always make sure you break plenty early enough
Might be a dumb question. How often do you have to manually inflate or add air to the system? Since there isn’t a compressor.
Nice info
Where is the second video with the trailer hooked up?
You are going to think you have a 3500 1 ton truck now 👍 I installed a set of these several years ago .. the exact same brand as yours an 5000 lbs as well … ooooh my god .. it would carry a load an never even budge I tell ya.. I never went over 60 psi as there was no need to .. only thing when your going to be empty for a while you will want them deflated as they will cause a rougher ride .. but you won’t even have to use those leveling bars with your trailer now .. it’s unbelievable the loads you will carry now .. jus keep an eye on your tires as you don’t want to go over the weight rating of them too much !! I truly believe theses are under rated .. they say 5000 lb rating an I say there more like 8thousand lbs easily . Great job on the install 👍
Should be interesting once I hookup to the trailer!
Could you put T fitting at the Schrader valve so you could fill both bags simultaneously?
Yeah you definitely could 💪
You don’t want the air transferring from one bag to the other when turning.
@@dodgeguyz I have a T in mine and that doesn't happen
Shouldn’t be a problem. I’ve done that on plenty of trucks I’ve installed bags on. One things that helps are sway bars in the rear to keep the roll to a minimum.
I like how stiff it makes the rear end of the truck. When I accelerate there's no coil movement. It also prevents the truck from driving like a boat. I wish I knew ahead of time how stiff the suspension was going to be. Bumps are 100 times worse then before. If there was a way to keep the factory jouce or whatever its called and mount the non ultimate air bags I would have done so, but oh well too late for me
I would have gone with the 1000 honestly.
when your not towing are they fully deflated or partially inflated?
Is it stiff with the trailer attached? or only when your not towing ?
Can I install this system with a 6inch lift kit?
Does anyone know what size airline this kits comes with? I've ordered them but would like to order a T junction so i get both and not have to wait for parts.
And just like that now your definitely gonna feel the difference in the ride 😌 👌🏼that was a cool install mod #BSTEDMTRSPRTS 100k soon
Thanks brother! Should be interesting to see the difference with the trailer connected 💪
@@BoostedMotorsports what is the ride difference from stock to after install? Firm, the same?
How’s it ride without a load?
I was thinking of adding this too
It’s definitely not a quick install but should be worth it. I’ll keep everyone updated how it works with the trailer attached
What a job!!! Good video John.
Just like that. Time for some good old Mc Donald time. 🍔🍟🇺🇸🤣
So why wouldn't you use a "T" air connector and only one valve? Seems it would ensure the same air pressure in each bag..
So basically now you actually could install a onboard air compressor anytime you want now ? How is it towing now ?????
Why not just go with a WDH. Us RVers use them and they change the stability of your truck and trailer. Or time for us to start seeing 2500 builds from you.(would love it!). lol
Should have bought the Timbergrove air spring kit, no cutting, no grinding, no drilling and all the brackets are made out of stainless not painted, I just bought one today.
Hmmm… how high does it lift compare to none
What do you keep it at while not towing? And max psi they can with stand?
You can either empty the by the Schrader valve and most are 150 psi max also don’t run them through the plate if someone steals your plate they’ll break them had that happen with tag lights that replaced the plate bolts
I like the timbergrove airbag set better. All stainless brackets and a complete bolt in, no cutting, installation.
I wonder how it installs if you have a lift?
Yeah my old truck had a lift with bags 💪
I got the updated kit where there is no cutting. But I installed a T fitting on the air line so the bags level themselves automatically
I also used a t valve. It’s the only way to go
Don't all the 5000 series require cutting/grinding? Did you get the 1000 or 1000HD?
I'm assuming they make a on board air and controllers for these... wonder if they make something for lifted 1500's 🤔
You ever find the answer? I’ve got a 2017 Ram 1500 with Fabtech 6” lift and was hoping to do an install too.
@@backcountrybuilds no sir, there's nothing for my 2016 ram with a 6" rough country lift
@@mikehogan6938 bummer. Guess I’ll keep driving the saggin wagon :(
@@backcountrybuilds to bad a ram 2500 don't have the same springs in the back as a 1500 cause really a 6" lift basically brings the 1500 to the height of a 2500
@@backcountrybuilds ruclips.net/video/uezzIp-lfVw/видео.html
I already have a 3" lift kit, is it still possible to install it?
Yup, as long as you buy the appropriate spacer kit.
It saids it wont fit my 2019 ram
Timber Grove bags, you do not have to cut anything, they fit perfect and there stainless. There way better and if u want to go back to factory you can. Airlift once you do this no turning back
🐐
💪
Let’s go Brandon
The self tap bolts that came with mine were trash I wound up welding my brackets in place
I have watched this a few times and I definitely need to figure out what kit to put on my lowered F1FIDDY to keep it from bottoming out over big dips on the highways etc.
🤔🚫🧢🚐💨💯💪🌮🌮👊
Hi, friend. After watching the video on your channel, I found that you are very suitable to promote our headlight bulb. Are you interested in joining us? I have contacted you on Ins inbox. Hope you can reply to me, thank you.
Is there any difference between the suspension on this truck and the 21 classic?
I like the timbergrove airbag set better. All stainless brackets and a complete bolt in, no cutting, installation.
Do you have a link for them?
