Air Lift 1000 - Kit/Part Number 60769 (Thanks Max for the info!)


Took forever because the people who did the hackjob trying to cut one bump stop bracket off didnt seat my coil isolator...so I had to run to the store and rent some spring compressors to fix the isolator so there'd be no issues with the bags...anyways, after half a day, they are finally in! I know Max is running around 5 psi he said, but Im running at least 10 psi till I get new shocks..sad thing is, I still cant drive the truck till my new fender gets here!!! :(

Thats 1 out of 5 packages received this week...waiting on the others! :D

Can anyone spot my AirLift Valve Stem?

Just fill the bags the same way you fill your tires :) very easy!

I was going to do that...but some hoses are harder to get into spaces like that...so I made it somewhere easy to access..and I figure, the bags have to do with towing...so I placed it next to the other towing piece

I still have yet to install the bags so mine rides like poop. But thanks for the pics (both of you) because it gives me ideas on where to put mine... If I'm not too lazy I'll get it done this weekend...

Pretty easy dude I can pm you some tips but it's fairly straightforward. Ride quality is dramatically improved.

After jacking up the truck with those bricks..I saw the truck sliding forward...so I lowered it and rethought what I was going to do...last thing I wanted was to be under there and my hand get stuck between the spring while removing the bag..

I was thinking of going this route as my Pedders kit leaves me little room for suspension travel. With 6 people and 2 dogs the thing was almost on the bump stops. I might swing by Jegs on the way home and pick up a kit.

So wrong...



Did you ever figure out why it blew the one bag? I might have missed it and if I did I apologize. Percocet owns me tonight...

Yup
