Air bag suspension kits/air lift kits

OK I had a few blowouts on my way out to California and popped the air bags (axle to Frame) and cant find replacement bags so im looking into kits to have installed. the name on current bag is air Shoke.

Im living in this Beast and want the right add ons but im new so here i am! you will be seeing alot of me around here.

was looking at http://www.sdtrucksprings.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=4540

but noticed the helper part whats the difference from axle to frame and leaf to frame?

Thanx for any advise!

  • Thank you ended up ordering.......

    Ill probably find the right rear shocks to install also to help take all the work off the leafs.
  • You want a "leaf-to-frame" kit. These mount outboard of the frame rails and allow for proper suspension travel. The "axle-to-frame" kits replace the bumpstop and also limit travel (the airbags are shorter to fit) and since they reaplace the bump-stop, its bad news when they lose air. BTDT.
