Air Bag issues/new Install
Hey all,
With spring around the corner, I went to re-insure the tow vehicle and wanted to install my on board air kit that the better half got me for xmas. It was the Air Lift Analog Control System - Heavy Duty Compressor Kit.
Install was pretty easy, but when I went to test the system and inflate the Firestone airbags that were previously installed to 40ish PSI, I heard a bang and upon inspection, the wire support wrap ruptured. Looks like it was due to rust.
Well I ordered up a set of air lift 5000 bags and spent a Saturday installing them.
check out the video, might help someone. Hardest part was removing the old ones.
