Ride Rite airbags question
Ride Rite airbags question
can I use the ride rite airbags to get a little lift in the rear of my truck? I've got a 2" leveling kit and I still want a little rake to the trucks stance, but not as much as an AAL might give me. The shop said if I keep 10 or 15 PSI in the bags it will lift the rear a little. Is this accurate?
You will HAVE to keep at least 10/15 psi in the bags so the suspension will not pinch and cut them if it bottoms for some reason.
I have a set (duals) on my F250 with a compressor on-board. It works great with the below trailer. I can boost it up when we haul and let out the bags when nothing is on the rear.

So the airbags have to have air in them at all times? What is the lifespan of the airbags, and can they ever wear out? Sorry for all the newbie questions, but one more. How much lift, if any, will the airbags give you when inflated to the max PSI.
i have the firestone bags. with the 5psi min firestone recommends i think it raise it a little. so more air will raise even more when i unhook from the trailer i always let some air out to bring it back down.
Thanks for the input. I was hoping I could get a little lift without sacrificing the ride quality. I've been told the AAL will stiffen the ride a little, and I just wanted something that would help my tail stay level when I tow my boat. Thanks again for the help.
