Hey Legends, this week I show you how to install the Boss Air Suspension load assist airbag kit in my Ford Ranger.
I'll walk you through the installation process step by step, from unboxing the kit to mounting the airbags and running the air lines. You don't need a lot of special tools or advanced mechanical skills to do this, so don't be intimidated if you're new to DIY car mods.
Boss Air Suspension have been kind enough to give you guys a $50 off discount! Use the code ‘lilandjake’ when you’re at the checkout! This is not an affiliate, we just trust and love the brand.

We bent our chassis at 5psi. I was told not to run with zero psi so we left a bit in. We were on a gnarly track with a drop. After we recovered the ute there was a 700+km road trip back to Perth at a sedate pace.

@lilandjake Год назад

Damn Steve! That sounds horrible! Yes I'm sceptical on the bags aswell, any sniff of a dirt road I let them down to almost nothing. Did you have upgraded springs aswell?

@stevecam724 Год назад

@@lilandjake yeah Jake, Toughdog springs and shocks and a lift. The ute was fixed under insurance, I thought she was a right-off. The ute was stipped to the chassis and cold stretched back to square (about 4 weeks in a queue ) then it was sent to an engineer for fishplate (4 months in a queue) basically gone for half a year. I checked in with the engineer after 4 weeks and there was a yard full of utes getting fixed or modified and we just had to wait. Old mate said he would ban them from sale and he's surprised insurance companies were covering the claims. The ute was as good as gold when we got her back. BUT in the end I think it was weight behind the rear axle, a crew cab and the wheel arch was up front that got us (and a bigish drop). We have a supercab now aand I tink the tray is better situated over the arch.

A tip mate, with car jacked put wheel under the car in case it comes off the jack 👍

@lilandjake Год назад

Hey Richard! That's a great idea, I really should have done that! I'm not really big on safety as you can see hahaha. Thanks for watching!

Hello Jake Air bags are amazing a much better ride We will have to see how it works out on the road when you haul your house on wills I think you did a great job installing the air bags I thought it would take a long time to do Say hello to Lil Great 👍 job Fireman 🔥🔥🔥

@lilandjake Год назад

Hello fireman! Yes they are a great bit of gear! They are going great so far so hopefully they will be fantastic. Thankyou, I'm no mechanic but I pretend to know what I'm doing hahah. Lil says hello fireman! See you on Sunday!

@firemanfireman7228 Год назад

@@lilandjake I look forward to Sunday see you then Fireman 🔥🔥🔥

@shepherdsadventure Год назад

Makes a huge difference mate😁👌🏻 Hopefully for your sake Lil doesn’t like them too much and gets a set of airbags for herself🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@lilandjake Год назад

Hahahaha, classic, couple of funbags aye!

@shepherdsadventure Год назад

@@lilandjake just be careful over inflating them!!!🎈🎈

@mattthwaites3924 9 месяцев назад

How much lift did you get from the airbags? My Ranger drops 50mm with van. Trying to work out if I need suspension upgrade; bags or both?

@lilandjake 9 месяцев назад

Hey legend, depends on the pressure you run, airbags are only meant to lift your car back to level, they would easily get your ute back to standard height with a van on the back 😉

@ClintonEtheridgea 4 месяца назад

Hey what psi are you running at

@peterdebeer8765 Год назад

Could you put a T peace in and have 1 valve to fill both?

@lilandjake Год назад

That's such a good idea! I wonder if it would have an equalising effect though and move the pressure to each side when the weight transfers? I'll do some research and get back to you!

@daveberry1274 11 месяцев назад

Hey Fella how are the airbags holding up on the road? has it turned out to be a great mod to your setup?

@lilandjake 11 месяцев назад

Hey legend! Yea the bags are epic, best part is not trying to go offroad with 500kg leafs and having a brick, it still flexes great. Would highly recommend.

@davesieber2095 Год назад

Did you already have a lift in that mate or is it standard height

@lilandjake Год назад

Hey mate! It's got a lift in it, 300 kg springs in the rear, sat at about standard height with all the weight in it, even lower with the van on. Thanks for the comment!

@Mosesk1988 Год назад

I mustache you a question 🤣

@lilandjake Год назад

Hahahaha love a good pun - and a good moustache!

@63holden Год назад

Ha Ha, Lil doesn't need airbags. you cant improve on a classic 😉

@lilandjake Год назад

You sure can't! No need for extra cushion!

@SoSo-xy7rc Год назад

where is your assistant she could have held an umbrella over you for shade

@lilandjake Год назад

The assistant had been promoted to grocery shopping duty and packing the van duty! 😂😂

@jobail01 Год назад

A great video as to why some things shouldn't be DIY like this, lots of things not done correctly and really at the end of the day just dangerous, you obviously have no mechanical aptitude.

@lilandjake Год назад

@lilandjake Год назад

Sorry this video bothered you so much. Which parts specifically did you have a problem with? We’d like to know incase we’ve done something wrong.

@jobail01 Год назад

@@lilandjake Both the U bolts and nuts should be replaced once undone. The reason is the nuts are torqued at factory which tends to stretch the thread, once you undo the nuts you will never get the same nut back on and guaranteed to not come undone by itself as the thread is now stretched. You should always replace with new U bolts and nuts and torque to the manufacturer's specification. Also never cut the threads back to level with top of the nut, this is bad practice and in a high tensile joint the thread should protrude past the top of the nut by about 3 or 4 threads minimum. Hope this helps, but my advice is change out those U bolts and nuts with new ones and use a torque wrench to correct manufacturer settings so you have the confidence they will do the job and keep you safe.

@lilandjake Год назад

Aramlee thanks for the tip! I left the u bolts in as they where new aftermarket ones and only 10,000ks old, that's why I had to cut them down as the factory u bolts would not have hit the bag, sorry I don't have a torque wrench but you'll have to keep watching and see if our diff falls out! Cheers.

@jobail01 Год назад

@@lilandjake yep I understand, however the low k's travelled on those U bolts is irrelevant. Once the nut is torqued or tightened, it stretches the thread immediately, if you undo the nut and then tighten again, the integrity of the joint or nut/thread combination is now compromised, it's just a pure fact and now a substandard connection. You never reuse the same U bolts and nuts, best practice is what will keep you from coming unstuck. Ask around with some people in the industry if you need to satisfy your own mind. Good luck with it all.
