Thread: Ideas for rear airbag setup???

  1. #1

    Hey guys I'm looking for ideas and pics of rear Airbag set-ups. I am building the new truck and have seen a few pics of trucks with a cantilevered air bag setups, one with the bags mounted horrizontally, with a pivot and links connected to the axle. I am trying to find a clean install for my overload/helper air bags not the standard . Any ideas would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Cantilevered is that many more joints / pivot points to fail later on. I have had my AirLift set on for almost 7 years now with no failures (now I did it!).
    On things that aren't that visible (sure you can see it on your 4X, but not that much) I prefer to keep it simple. JMO.

    I hear you on that. I just didn't like the way the bags looked on the last truck and they really seemed to limit axle movment. I was always afraid that everytime I took the truck off road I would tear the bags. Here's the old set-up:

    Well, I am by no means an expert on the subject. I just like the way mine work. Don't have room for a canti anyway, so it's not like I have a choice.
    Mine are just like your old setup, the assist the leafs. Mine is all buried, though. You gotta really crane your head up under there to see mine.

    Sweet!! Thanks Garret. I think I know how I want to set mine up but I'd love some more ideas. I'm going to keep the leaf springs, I had Deaver build me a nice soft set, and use the bags for help when towing. I'll give you a call, if nothing else just to come over and see your set-up.
    Thanks again,
    Chris

    Anyone seen duffster? I really liked the setup on the truck he bought from Jay. I got pics of the front coil-overs just didn't keep the ones for the rear set-up. You out there duffster?

    Everything is going good just trying to figure out the black smoke issue when I stomp on it when towing. The crap gets all over my boat and it's driving me nuts.
