Is it a BIG difference? Can you tell us how its better?
I installed firestone airbags on my f250 to pull my road warrior 427 and it pulls like a dream. My road warrior came with the moryde kingpin which helps with some of the jerking, however the airbags stopped almost all play in the trailer that was effecting my truck while pulling. I do plan to eventually install a kingpin with an air bag on it just to ease pressure on rough roads. Hope this helps
Did you install the air bag system yourself?
No,However if I would have seen the system prior I might have ....you do have to lift the bed off but its not as hard as it sounds that I have done . If your thinking of doing it without the onboard compressor and wireless remote then I dont think it would be that difficult if you know your way around a toolbox . P.S. If your put them in w/ no compressor / remote it shouldnt cost more than about 750 installed so pick your poison i guess man
Did you install the air bag system yourself?
Just to add to TxRoadWarrior362, I installed airlift bags in my garage. It was pretty easy to install. I did not have to remove the bed. The only trick was making sure there are no leaks. Airlift did send me a replacement airbag which was initially defective. I purchased off amazon. I contacted AirLift directly with my problem and they sent replacement part no questions asked.
I do not have a on board air compressor. I just air up the bags when I air up the rear tires for towing. If I towed more often I would consider an onboard air compressor but I actually prefer NOT having one right now (less hardware, less cost, less maintenance/problem potential). I typically travel with an air compressor (6 gallon pancake). It takes about 10 seconds to air up both bags using this.
I chose the airbags with the internal jounce bumper and would probably choose those ones again.
