Tembrens or Air
Would like to get some feedback on the Tembren system vs air bags.
Forum Discussion
I have had both and prefer the air bags. We bought a 2012 GMC 3500 srw at the same time we bought our Excel. I put a set of Tembren's on before we did our first tow so don't know how they affected the ride versus not having them. I do know we were not happy with the ride with the Tembren's, too harsh for our comfort. I then changed to a set of Air Lift 5K bags which helped a bunch, probably because they can be adjusted to suit the load. They even improved the empty ride somewhat.
We were still plagued with chucking which I think was because we were pushing the weight limits of the truck. The dually solved all those problems but I did transfer the Air Lifts to it. Again, I think they help refine the ride, both loaded and empty so my vote is for the air bags.
