Anyone running rear air bags?
Friends,
My Cummins usually has a load in the back but I still wouldn't mind a softer rear ride over city roads. Has anyone installed rear airbags and removed a leaf or two? I have a 2wd and it rides real nice in the front. I think if I pulled a leaf or two from the rear pack but added air bags I would have a nice soft ride and I could pump up the air bags when I load it down. Any thoughts on how much better the ride can get and how it will handle weight? I have a stock motor and I don't want to modify it so with stock power will I get axle wrap if I remove a leaf or two and add the air bags? |
air bags
i have a 91 with airbags and i love them.

You will get axle wrap if you take leaves out.

So even if I remove a single thicker leaf I am going to get axle wrap? I hate axle wrap. |

i use the airbags on my 91 dodge cummins to help it hold the loads i haul i leave about 5 pounds when i'm unloaded and it rides like it did when i had just leaf springs.

My truck has 7 springs on all 4 corners, it rides like a hay wagon. :s:
I just put Riderights on it last week to handle my camper but i shure would like to take out a spring or two to make it ride a little better unloaded. Attachment 40919 Darwin |
