air bags

[cubbear]

what is a good air bag system with on board compressor and wireless remote?

[Powelligator]

I'm not sure about Air Life, but I have a 21 year old AirLift system in my 1994 F-250, still works fine. Could probably wait another 20 years for a full report, but by then the truck itself won't be any good.

Yes, this one I'm getting, the 72000, does have separate pressure control for each air bag.

Airlift....

I ordered the AIR LIFT 72000 Wireless Air Leveling Compressor

The Amazon listing has a link right there to click on for the rebate.

Rebate: Amazon.com

Through February 29, 2016, save up to $100 via mail-in rebate on select Air Lift products. See more details.

It showed 4 used from $322 when I checked. However, now there are only 3 used and from $474, so the new price, $403 as of the time I'm posting this, is cheaper. For the rebate go here;

The mail in form is a download link in PDF you have to click on.

From my invoice on Amazon;

Items Ordered Price
1 of: AIR LIFT 72000 Wireless Air Leveling Compressor $322.72
Sold by: Amazon Warehouse Deals, Inc

Condition: Used - New condition
Item will come in original packaging. Packaging may be damaged... see more

$322 minus the $75 rebate gives me a total $247 plus tax. (I'm in California and governor wants his due.)

The current new price on Amazon;$403.40 minus the mail-in rebate is a total of $328.40. That's compared to Airlift's suggested retail of $724.42 from their website;
https://www.airliftcompany.com/shop/72000/

I did find it for a more reasonable $524.99 before rebate, and $449.99 after rebate on etrailer

I want to mention I am an Amazon Prime member so shipping is 2nd day free. Actually, my daughter-in-law is a Prime member. She can add up to 4 family/friend members to her account who get the shipping benefits she gets with the membership.

skipro3 what model did U order from amazon and where did U find $75.00 rebate?

I am not sure which wireless product you are going with but you may want to know that on some campers its necessary to have different pressures in the two bags to assist in leveling.

Thanks for the recommendation on the wireless product. Amazon has 'em for a great price and Airlift has a $75 mail in rebate.

Airlift wireless and Firestone RideRite airbags in use here. I like them.

[byronlj]

If you can afford the upgrade from wired to wireless, the airlift system is the way to go. Fewer components and a cleaner install.

I run PacBrake air bags and the wireless controller and compressor from AirLift.

People who mention Air Life must have typo'd AirLift

[tplife]

No issues with my Firestone system, although it's manual-fill. Only had to replace a single air hose due to some undercarriage off-road debris, cost about $ 1.00 to fix, LOL.

[Kayteg1]

Firestone is a company few generations old, Air Life is newer one.
Both seems to be good, but I have Firestone suspension bags on my conversion that are well over 20 years old, so let's talk about Air Life in 20 years.

[WNYBob]

Look at the Air Life 5000 plus, as the + has an internal bumper that allows you to run with no air! This doesn't sound like a big deal, but it is one less thing to worry about.

I use airlift and they work great
some of my friends use Firestone and they work great also
