Air Springs

[jschenck]

I've been looking around and thinking about putting some load assist air springs in my rear coil springs. I can't afford the OME lift/HD suspension route and thought that rear air springs might be a good option. I found a couple on Summit just doing some simple searches. I was curious if anyone had used/heard anything about them or if anyone knew of a good place to get a good quality kit. THANKS!

Why would you want/need them?
I have the firestone set up in my F250
It made it so I can carry 3500+ lbs in the bed
This is not reading labels this is real world
certified test weights when the truck was brand new
Basically an extra 1500+ over stock
Total cost was $400 or so
Then the dinky compressor crapped out
so an extra $200 for a viair compressor

You will need the compressor I need air every other day
and I have a 2.5 gallon tank I added that was not included
in the kit ,which you will want so you can air up tires
that tacks on another $100 in tank ,pressure switch
extra hose and fittings
If I were you I would hold out for a real up grade
This is probably not what you need

Check etrailer, they also sell air bag setups.
Something I will be adding to the back of our KJ
as the rear OME coils are already starting to bag
out with the amount of gear we carry with us.
