Features to know about

Stay Level and Confident: Up to 1,800 lbs of Rear Axle Support

Heavy loads can make your truck squat, throw off your steering, and cause your headlights to aim too high. The Pacbrake Alpha SD air bag suspension kit adds up to 1,800 lbs of load support on the rear axle so your stance stays level and your handling stays sharp. It keeps braking steady and traction consistent whether you’re towing a trailer, hauling work gear, or packing up for a weekend trip.

Dial In the Ride You Want: Adjustable 10–100 psi Air Pressure

No two hauls are the same, so it’s nice when your suspension can adapt. This system lets you adjust air pressure anywhere from 10 psi when unloaded to 100 psi when you’re fully packed. Add more air to keep things level under heavy weight or drop it down for smoother cruising when empty. It’s a quick way to fine-tune comfort and control without tools or guesswork.

Smooth Ride On or Off the Load: Sleeve-Style Air Spring Design

You don’t have to sacrifice comfort just because you need load support. The sleeve-style air springs handle extra weight when needed but still ride comfortably when you dial the pressure back down. With a minimum 10 psi required, the truck stays composed and predictable whether the bed is stacked with cargo or completely empty.

Built to Last Through Weather and Work: Durable Aluminum and Rubber Construction

Real roads and real loads demand strong gear. These air springs use one-inch thick anodized aluminum end caps and nylon-reinforced rubber that resists corrosion and cold-weather cracking. Precision laser-cut, powder-coated steel brackets bolt to factory points with Grade 5 plated hardware for added durability. Everything you need—air lines, push-to-connect fittings, manual valves, and mounting hardware—is in the box so you can get set up cleanly and confidently.

Ready for Expansion When You Are: Standard Ports for Onboard Air Systems

If you ever want to upgrade with onboard air, this kit already has standard ports and fittings built in. That makes it easy to add inflation controls down the road without replacing parts or modifying what’s there. For now or later, it’s a setup built with flexibility and long-term use in mind.

Video Transcript for Review of Pacbrake Vehicle Suspension - Towing/Load Leveling - PB82RV

Hi everyone, Steven here with etrailer.com. Today we're looking at our Pacbrake Alpha SD air bag suspension kit. It's what we call a sleeve style, and it's a rear axle application ready for 1,800 pounds. Now folks, these are custom fit, so make sure you're checking our fit guide here at etrailer.com. Be sure you're getting the right parts the first time for your specific setup. And you can call, chat us.

We'll be more than happy to assist you with that part or any other parts as well. Now, as you can see today, I just have these loosely fitted together on the table to kinda show you the size, shape, and everything. You will get everything pictured in the image here on the screen, as far as all the brackets, airlines, airline cutting tool, all the fittings, all the nuts, bolts, the clamps. Everything you need will come with this kit. So again, I just have this part on the table today just to kinda give you a visual about the size of these and everything.

1,800 pounds capacity, durable. The hardware and everything has been laser cut as far as the brackets. Everything's a nice powder coat finish. The bags are reinforce, or non-reinforced rubber that's gonna resist corrosion, and cold weather cracking, and those kinda things as well. So, a very nice kit.

(air wheezing) And as you can hear, air can go in and out whenever I'm pushing on it. Now, once you have this installed correctly, it is a manual inflation at the rear bumper of the vehicle. And again, everything here is just loosely fitting today for our viewing. So again, very nice kit from Pacbrake. It's gonna reduce rear end sag, absorb road shock, and keep your steering crisp and clean under load so you're not gonna be bouncing around like you probably are currently if you don't have something like this on your setup.

Well folks, that's gonna wrap it up for our look together. I'm Steven. Thanks for watching.

Purchased for 2024 GMC Canyon Elevation trim 4x4. Needed to take out the 2-in drop from my travel trailer hitch weight of 400 lb.

Ordered on E-Trailer which sent the order to their supplier who took 4 days from the time they received it to actually ship it. This meant it burned past the originally stated delivery date by 3 days.

Once it arrived all the parts were there. Everything was labeled, packaged up and included instruction sheets.

Install went fine with two issues:
1. The included self-tapping bolts for mounting the upper portion to the frame would not self-tap into the existing holes. I had to use a tap to put the threads into the hole.
2. I tested the air valve with the shock out of the vehicle (probably shouldn't have) which expanded it to full height, which meant when I compressed it for installation it was crumpled and folded onto itself and not the way it was supposed to be sleaved. This issue was solved after I increased the air to 90 PSI and put a trailer load of 400 pounds on the hitch. While releasing air the sleeve compressed back into proper shape.

I love that they included the cutter for the air hoses which made it easy. No leaks.

Ride while towing was the same as before (great) without the rear drop and nose high lights. Driving with no load and the minimum 10 psi didn't give any noticeable bounce or increased stiffness.
by:
This Pacbrake kit is excellent, reason for the 4 star is because the instructions are not exactly accurate but one can figure it out and the self tappers are not the 8mm as described but 10mm, this is an issue when using a tap to thread the holes because the the bolts will not self thread into the pre-drilled holes. The ride with 14 psi has improved the handling and when i throw a few hundred pounds in the box the truck doesn't squat. exactly how i want it.

Easy installation. Instructions are pretty simple. Be sure to follow torque specs. Add a little thread seal tape to your 90 swivel fitting to prevent leaks.The heat shield was not necessary for my year model(2024),since there was plenty of space between the air bags and the exhaust. Instead of drilling holes under license plate, I just used the screw hole for my license plate for schrader valves. Just drilled out the license plate holes out and little placed through. No more bouncing or suspension sag. Recommended!

Glad to hear that, Rob :) Everything looks great. What do you tow where you like having the extra suspension support ?

@BrookeM . Hi Brooke, I tow a 23’ center console boat, which was really making my suspension sag. I also regularly tow a motorcycle on a hitch carrier, which also made my suspension sag. Both needed different levels of support and the boat never gets towed on the highway but the moto does. So I am hoping these air bags will take care of the different levels of support needed for each function. Haven’t towed yet but will likely do so this week.

@Rob I think air bags were a smart choice! Let me know what you think once you've gotten to use them :) Do you do race with the motorcycle?
by:
Easy and simple installation, quality built components that fit the need. Thank you.

The air bags seem to work well. The installation was tricky and I wouldn’t recommend it for the amateur.
