what are good air bags

I had CW install Air Lift airbags when I first bought my fiver. The only issue was filling and deflating the bags. I recently installed an Air Lift air compressor that makes filling the air bags much more convenient. Definitely opt for the compressor when buying the bags!

4 Wheel Parts installed my Air Lifters and the compressor.

I'm happy with my Firestone bags with no compressor.

I guess I'm getting lazy. I like sitting in my truck and inflating or deflating my air bags from the driver's seat.

Firestone here also

I have FS and I've had airlift. Both double bellow and no problems. I've seen single bellows but I wouldn't want them. I also have air-adjust rancho 9000s and a PRXB e-brake so compressor/in-cab controls was a no-brainer. I love every part of it! Craig

I put Air-Lift Super Springs on my old 97. The boy still has it. They must be at least 12 yrs old and never a problem. I took a load leveler compressor from a old Buick and mounted it in the right rear wheel well, nasty location, it still works. A couple of flow control valves and gauges, a check valve and a regulator. Being able to adjust on the move is the only way to go, lets you fine tune the ride.

I'm not sure one air bag is significantly better than another brand. However, some kits will bolt in a little easier or with your other aftermarket equipment (5th wheel hitch).

I spent quite a bit of time researching brands, warranties, kits and compressors. Today I ordered Air lift's 5000 series ultimate (built in bump stops) and their wireless compressor set up. The internal bump stop allows you to run zero air pressure. Most air bags require at least 5psi to prevent damage to the air bags. I have heard that even wih only 5psi, air bags can give a harsher ride when running a truck empty.

Air lift will warranty their bags if you use their smart air compressor system as well.

Also, air lift has a $50 rebate on their bags and air compressors until 10/31.

I have a 2008 F250 CC 6.5' bed 4x4.

I'm not sure if this helps.
