I fit airbags to my Ford Ranger PX3 FX4 to maintain the original ride height when towing my caravan. They aren't meant to raise or replace your suspension, but simply assist. It's a simple fit and only takes a couple of hours.
I just had mine done and wish i hadnt ... Cant even go over a speed bump slow without the hard bang at the rear. 10 to 15PSI . Worse ride i have ever experianced.. I hope it doesnt drive like it does with the van on the back .... I had the air bags that allow full articulation at the rear so they are not connected at the top only at the bottm ... is that the problem ???
Great video, Air bag guys should follow you, Why have 2 air valves? If 1 leaks won"t car be lop sided? I remember in young days with pump up shockers on the HR there was only 1 valve for even lift, My semi trailer air bags only have 1 auto adjuster controlling all air bags for same equal ride height and same pressure. Your thoughts?
Hey Bullbar, my understanding is that if only 1 valve is fitted then the air will flow from one to the other which may result in a "tipping" effect. ie going around a corner or over rough terrain, the air from the pressurised side will move to less pressurised side and create more lift which is not ideal. Maybe your truck has some type of valve to stop this happening. That's my understanding but have been wrong before haha
Hi, was looking to this to my Ranger Wildtrack. While researching, I was advised not to put airbags in as they can twist or crack chassis and we should just stick to a spring upgrade. Have you heard this or have any updates since installing on your Ranger
As long as you don’t exceed weights and airbag pressure limits you’ll be good to go. They aren’t designed to raise the vehicle either, just to maintain original height when weight is applied.
Hey Geoff, apologies for the late reply. If i recall correctly i lined everything up and took measurements from the bottom of the u bolt before i cut. Sorry but cant remember the actual measurement.
