I can't find a way to direct link. It's an airlift product with sensors to automatically sense the rear end dropping due to load and inflates the airbags automatically from an on-board compressor.

I've heard of that before. They also have ones that will raise and lower pressure on each side independently to help keep the truck level in cornering.

sorry to bring back such an old thread, but im curious...when you aren't hauling a load or towing, now with the removal of bump stops, you just de-flate the bag, and it rides just like stock? it doesnt "shorten" the travel of the springs and the frame?

you just run with 5 lbs in the bag and it keeps the bag from fully conpressing and hurting the bags but dosent change the ride at all. travl is normal.

I have been looking into air bags, since I will need to do some towing with mine, but I can't find how they are for trucks that go off-road. Any insights?

This may also be a dumb question, but will the bags work with the blocks from the Truxxx leveling kit I have installed? I was looking at firming up the rear end for towing and hauling loads. I've also been considering a lightweight camper. The leveled suspension is a bit soft for most of these.

i have a question; could these bags be used as a suspension lift; reason why i'm asking is A) i work in a tough area and would prefer if people did not no my truck is custom or anything like that; B) i like too speed and when speeding i have better handling on a lower truck; C) i live in the boondocks and would like my truck too be able to "lift up" so i could easier offroad.... i realize that i would have too add a compresser to my system but im wondering if this is at all possible; or am i just going to be wasting my money or messing my trucks suspension up?????
