Can you give the dimensions of the upper bracket? Specifically the measurement from the bolt that connects to the existing jounce bump stop hole to edge of plate closest to the tire? I want to verify If my 12.5" tires will clear the bracket. I just ordered this kit. Thanks
I have a 2017 Tradesmen and haul a truck camper. Swapped to Bilstein's 5100 because the stock and springs were killing me with that spring bounce, lol! The 5100 are softer than the stock so now I roll with the camper when I have a full tank of gas even with no weight in the camper. So this is the product I will go with. Do you have a code so you get credit?

I like the way you routed the air line through the large hole in the frame, just behind the airbags. Are you concerned or did you do anything to protect the line from rubbing the area as it goes through the hole? I just received my kit, same as yours, and appreciate your install video. Thanks.
It will all depend on your wheel offset. I dont think you would have a problem. Just make sure you have the required clearance between the bag brackets and tire.
Sold my Ford for a Ram..Can't believe the squat from my RV and the nose in the air with this truck..didn't need any helper bags or Timbrens with my Ford ...Thanks for the vid i'm gttn these on order.
Depending on how its loaded and the pin weight makes a difference, I have seen my fair share of Chevy trucks and Fords squatting from the camper or trailers.
5000 would have been sufficient and I didnt choose the 7500 based off fifth wheel weight just my preference and availability at the time. The trailer is around 11k last time we weighed I cant remember pin weight.
I dont feel any difference, however, it did level the truck back out with a load in the back so my front end wasnt so light anymore. If your looking for a better ride I’d look at your setup in terms of spring and shocks. I’ve heard airbags all around is a pretty nice ride😉
Plate was removed for enlarging the holes where the schrader valves come through for mounting. Appreciate your attention to detail and how observant you are. Hope the video was helpful.
I wonder if you can fit a T for both bags and fill up through the line coming out of the T so both bags fill at the same time and that way you dont have to fill them separately
You can but the issue you may run into is when you turn and the load puts more pressure on one side it will push air to the opposite bag. You could do that if you put a check valve at each bag and plumb an exhaust to release pressure.
No, I really didn’t notice the internal bump stops while traveling and the ride was actually smoother. Helps to make sure your weight is distributed correctly for pin weight as well.
These are manual fill unless you plumb a compressor. Depending on the type and size of compressor there are several places to mount. I think air lift has pretty good mounting solution.
You would need to double check with the manufacturer but Im not aware of any changes to frame or suspension setup on the 22’ trucks that would call for a different kit.
Absolutely, something I don’t cover in this video. There is alot of variables to look at besides tires but pin weight, max load rating of wheels and tires also should be taken into consideration.
I have not installed limit straps. The 90 shouldn’t break since it is at a point that is hard mounted to the frame and doesn’t move. I have had zero issues so far. Thanks for the support.
Depends on how high of a lift but generally these bags are made to fit stock height. The issue you would run into is the bag only has so much travel on it so that would be your limiting factor
Im running stock height with these bags so I would say the best answer I can give to you is found here per airlift guidance. www.airliftcompany.com/workshop/determine-correct-lift-spacer/
