If I’m not mistaken the airbag needs to be installed with the air fitting at the top and not at the bottom . This is what I’ve seen in the airlift installation instructions
If you check out figure 3 and 4 in the linked instructions, you can see that the bag is installed as we show in the video with the fitting at the bottom. www.etrailer.com/instructions.aspx?pn=AL60817
All the instructions I've seen online and read/viewed on Air Lift's web site and others show the lines going up through the top of the springs, not the bottom as shown in your video. Is there a reason why you setup the airlines through the bottom of the springs?
We have had some applications where the kit will fit with the air line at the top of the bag. This is mainly for vehicles in off road applications. You just want to be sure that you keep the air line away from anything hot or moving. www.etrailer.com/Vehicle-Suspension/Air-Lift/AL60817.html
Sometimes a 2.5" lift only lifts the rear about 2". You will want to measure the exact height of your rear lift to determine which spacers you need. If it is very close to 2", you can just use this kit in the video (www.etrailer.com/Vehicle-Suspension/Air-Lift/AL60817.html) along with the 2" spacer kit from Air Lift (www.etrailer.com/p-AL52420.html). If you determine the rear lift is not close to 2", then you will want to get with Air Lift and tell them your measurements and they will find a different kit for you. Hope this helps!
I have a camping-trailer that I take everywhere to do offroad, particularly rockcrawling, do I lose rear articulation with this airbag? Or is deflating it enough? I also have a Metalcloak the 3.5” lift kit, will this kit work for me?
They won't. If you fast forward to the 4:45 minute mark, you can see that the fill valve on the air spring and the air line runs through the center of that puck, which will hold it in place. It's not going anywhere... www.etrailer.com/Vehicle-Suspension/Air-Lift/AL60817.html
