Well been thinking/looking into air bags for the rear of my truck sence I tow my mud truck, atv's, etc.. and was looking at the 5,000lb air bags and was wandering if anyone ever used them on a 1st gen and if they work for alot of wait? Worth the money? I notice when I put a load on my truck she squats pretty bad.

Thanks

 

i use air bags on my 1st gen, wasn't much work putting them on, i use them on my hydra bed 1st gen so theres alot of weight on it and it took the squat away.

 

Lots of guys use airbags to tow. very easy and help alot

 

So they are worth it? What about swaping springs from a camper special truck?

 

I preffer air bags. Swapping stiffer springs gives you a rough ride when you're empty that you can't do anything about. I've got softer than stock springs on mine and tighten up the airbags when I have extra weight.

 

What air bags do you have?

 

Right now I have a Kelderman system that cantilevers the rear spring hangers. It worked great with the super stiff spring packs I used to have, but isn't as good with my softer springs. I'm going to put my Firestone "helper" style bags back on. They're the same as the Ride-rites.

 

Thats good to know. I having a hard time finding where my Kelderman air ride's "SWEET SPOT" is...
