I wouldn't say the performance would be affected but it is possible for some of the air to transfer from one bag to the other since there would just be a tee between them. I'm sure it would be very minimal if any, and you'd probably need to do a pretty serious turn at a high speed to notice anything. Since you still have leaf springs and shocks, that would help prevent most of that. I hope this helps.

 

Thank you!

 

so would this set up with a 3/5.5 on a regular cab work, and allow me to pull a 16 ft toy hauler with i believe 250 lb tongue weight and a generator in the bed. i also have the weight distribution hitch set up. the other question is - how does air set up work, with the vibration issues i have been reading about. i was thinking with air assist i may be able to make a 3/4 drop while towing, but 3/5.5 normal driving.

 

Vibration have nothing to do with the helper bag. you need to have the driveline vibration taken take off first.

I tow a 23' toy hauler(750 to 1000 on tongue+generator, gaz can and spare rain wheel/tire in the front of the bed) with my 07 and 3/5 drop and slam air...And i ride leveled with the air bag filled at 100psi.(max)

 

Here you go... put my 59210 on my 2012 Fx2 with Belltech 3/5.5 last weekend

That truck looks great!!

 

Looks good Vinny! What size rims are on your truck?

 

They're stock FX 20's, going 22 or 24 soon

 

nice job on that little bracket for the air valves. have you towed anything with this set up , yet?

 

Carried a 600lb generator the other day with no problems. Haven't gone with anything super heavy yet.

 

Skalywags: I have the same setup on my 07 and can tow the same as stock
I did ~500 (if not 600) in the bed + a 7k lbs toyhauler which is at least 900 on the tongue.(with WD hitch)
Not sure I'll redo the experience but the setup handle really well.

I do the same with 200lbs max in the bed whitout any issue and long distance.

 

I am about to install the slam air kit with compressor, a single air line tee'd off also. I had the same concern. I quess I will find out.

 

I haven't taken the time to install the compressor but i did install a Belltech sway bar which made a noticeable improvement in the handling capabilities of the truck. Interested in how our truck responds and pics of the compressor/switch/gauge install.

 

I will prolly be doing it in a couple weeks ( vaction time off). So I will be posting my results/pics.

 

Hey all, does anyone know or can tell me the length of the upper bracket positioning tool and the length of the threaded portion of said tool that comes with the 59210 slamair kit? Thank you in advance.
