These are working great. I have already used them pulling my dump trailer multiple times and what a difference. Even with the bed just loaded up it's a world of difference. Let me know what you think. Thanks for watching. Like and Subscribe! Check these out on Amazon here: amzn.to/3C66aYD
My wife does not like my truck because jumos too much does the air bags help the ride or it is just for payload Have a 28' camping trailer but it tows it comfortable I am looking for a better ride for my wife when is empty thanksss
Did your truck have the Fifth wheel prep? On my 18 I wasn't able to use the brackets because of the prep, I had to drill holes and use screws. Wondering if on my 2020 if I'll ve able to use the brackets like you have with my prep.
Now that you had these for about a year how do you like them, I'm getting ready to get the 5000 Ultamic to go on my dually, I'm not planning on install the remote because I don't tow often how are they holding up without the remote?
I love them. They really do help when pulling heavy. Our 5th wheel is 16k lbs, and the bags level it out perfectly. It pulls so much better with them. I still want to add a compressor with a remote, but it's really no big deal without it. I keep a battery-operated air pump in the truck, and that works fine.
I have basically this same setup. On my truck they tend to bottom out, like there isnt nearly enough up travel. I'm wondering if my leaf springs have sagged. Looking at my shocks there is still plenty of room so its weird.
So when you say they bottom out, are they aired up or sitting with just 5 lbs? I do notice when they are aired up and have a big load on them the truck rocks more up and down. If that rocking motion gets going, like on a long bridge, it can feel like they hit the bump stops sometimes. I am looking at buying some different shocks for the rear to reduce that issue.
@SeidelRanch I dont have enough uptravel. With 5psi there is only like 3.5 inches of up travel. So the truck bucks forward whenever the back hits a bump because it bottoms out. I just installed 2" blocks under the springs and that has fixed my issue. I have aftermarket fox 2.0 shocks, but they have plenty of clearance so they weren't the problem. Either my springs have sagged or my truck springs are lower or softer than the typical springs. I only have 50k miles so I doubt they have sagged much. Pretty strange and unexpected.
I want set cause my front end sets low I want see if I can airbag it make set same height but the airbags will still be a good investment for my 3500 cause I do pull my camper and trailer.
These are for the rear of the truck. If you want to raise the front, you can tighten up the torsion bars. If you tighten them up, get an alignment or it will wear bad on your tires. If you crank them too much you will need to get a leveling kit to make them sit right again.
@@Hotrodt66 Oh, I see. These did not lower my truck, but I guess you could if you used lowered leaf springs in the back. Then you could air these up I guess to help level the truck when you have a load.
@@Cacheola Oh, no way. I run it at 5psi without a load so they basically are doing nothing. Any more and they would decrease ride quality. Now loaded, they are usually sitting at 25 or so PSI. Sometimes higher with a heavy load. Loaded they work great.

Empty it is the same, sorry. It's more to level the truck when you have a load. My wife says the same.

Mine does have the factory installed puck system and I did not seem to have any issues with that.

That truck is getting a lot of mods. It looks nice.
Thanks. I figured since I am going to keep this one; why not.
Awesome looking truck. I have a very similar rig. What size are those tires? Do you get any rub on the front?
They are 37s. I had to add spacers and turn up the torsion bars but it's good now.

@@Chris-ob8okYeah, I haven't seen that issue on mine. Glad the blocks fixed it.
how many inches do you estimate it got raised in the back with 100
Probably 3 to 4 inches.

@@SeidelRanch I’m wanting lower the rear same height as front that way won’t be raked and have lowered look

Airbags are for when you have a load, not for everyday driving lol
Of course. These make the RV and Gooseneck pull great.
Perhaps I misunderstood, but I got the impression you were regularly driving around at 20 which is ridiculous in these trucks
