Air bags?

Post by redneck1 » Tue Feb 23, 2016 8:51 pm

Hey guys I do a lot of towing with my 2013 pw and I am wanting to get some air bags to help out with the heavy loads and was wondering which bags are the best?

I don't know if they're the "best", but I've used AirLift on my last 3 trucks with no complaints or failures.
This is what I have on my '05 PW...

Take a look at Cactusred build thread. I highly recommend adding the Daystar cups if you use your PW off road.

I don't know if they'll work with AirLift.The Daystar cups have only been around for a few years now. Had the Daystar cups been around back in '05 I probably would have gone with the Firestone bags with Daystar cups. Either way, you won't be disappointed with air bags.

I have Air Lift Bags with Daystar cradles on my 2014. Not sure how to link the thread in Tapatalk but search for the "traded my 2011 for a 2014" thread, I have all the details in there. The set up works GREAT!!!
Loving my 3/4 ton version of my old Jeep TJ!!!!!

Y'all have got me interested in air bags now, especially after I got a new tractor and its a little heavy on the tongue if I have an implement attached.

I only do what the majority of the 4 voices in my head tell me to. In most cases, I ignore two of them because one doesn't speak English, and I suspect the other is talking to someone else.
