AIR BAGS OR AAL ?

X2
Have mine for about two years now with no problems.

 

Yeah, You know I haven't seem these much but maybe in J.C. Whitney.
They are a good concept but I have never owned pair.This might be a good option for you.

Were not pushing you in the airbag direction its that I real feel they are under rated.Kind of once you have them you like them.
Remember Rv's and 18 wheelers,Dump trucks, Garbage trucks have been using use airbags for a long time its just the product has moved in to the no-commercial market.

I wouldn't trade mine for anything.I can out haul ANY other Tacoma and people comment on that and ask what I'm running.I don't look like a low rider while hauling my trailer and or load.
Airing them up and down is very easy I have a compressor in my garage so I don't have to go to the gas station were they never work and are always destroyed from ass holes.
Buy a harbor freight 50.00 compressor then you can air up your tires when you want.Clean your keyboard on your computer and even blow out your trucks interior when it gets dusty.

I hope I have helped in your decision.

Contact me if you have any questions.

I was debating the on-board compressor kit until I read about issues with them in the winter. All I do is if I need extra pressure is what Arizonataco does...drag the compressor hose out. I also have a Fox Float hand pump in the truck in case I need to inflate on the fly. The pump has a gauge which is handy. It came with my sled that has a Fox Float shock.

And I don't adjust mine every day. I got it mostly to haul a 450lb snowmobile with truck ramps. If I go every weekend, I only have to inflate for the weekend.

 

Hey Priddle,

I saw that you have Billys set at 2.5
What did you do to lift the rear?

Airbags only,with block or what?

 

Airbags only @ 13-15psi. It raises the rear about an inch. That psi is also good for an empty bed.

 

I keep my Firestone air bags at 8-10 psi for just driving around with no load and can't tell they are there - nice cushy feel. I have a compressor mounted under the hood and a controller/guage under the dash so its totally easy to adjust the pressure up or down at any time on the fly. These are really good quality air bags, not junk, and I've had no problems with them so far. I use them for hauling and trailering and dont do a lot of off road or trail running.

 

I see you are from New Brunswick? Any problems with the onboard compressor in the winter?
