Expert Answers about Air Bag Compressor Kit


  • What Stops The Air Lift Load Controller II From Overfilling One Spring Over Another
  • Due to the low pressure sensor on the Air Lift Load Controller II Compressor System for Air Helper Springs # AL25592, the system will sense when one helper spring or the other is low and automatically begin filling with air. So, body roll wouldn't make one side fill up more than the other due to systems the automatic pressure regulation.

  • Troubleshooting An Air Leak On An AirLift Air Bag Kit
  • While issues with these kits are highly uncommon, we do deal with air leaking on rare occasion. In most cases it will be leaking from a fitting and it is easily fixable once we have found the source of the leak. A soap test is the easiest most fool-proof way of finding the source. I could probably count on one hand the number of times I have heard of this over the last several years. If I recall correctly all but one was "user error" and we were able to address and fix the issue. Anything...

  • Do Air Bags Have Remote Controls
  • Air bags like the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs # AL88295 that fit your 2013 Ram 3500 do not come with remote controls, and in fact wouldn't have any controls, they would be manually inflated. The only controls would be from a compressor such as the Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System for Air Helper Springs - Wireless Remote Control # AL74000 or Air Lift WirelessONE Compressor System for Air Helper Springs - Hand-Held Remote # AL25980 and if this was something...

  • When Carrying a Heavy Load On My Vehicle How Will The AirBags Be Affected
  • On The Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Double Convoluted - Rear Axle # F2598, the more weight you apply to it the more air they will lose but that gradually takes time, it is not a significant amount, and no matter what the jounce spring in the air bag will always give it support. The more common time your airbag may lose air is when the temperature gets cooler The Air Command Compressor System w/ Light Duty Compressor - Wireless - Smartphone Enabled - Single Path # F2610 will...

  • Concerns About Using Air Bag Suspension in Cold Weather
  • According to Firestone And Air Lift, there aren't any special procedures needed during cold weather regarding the care and use of their air suspension and compressor products. It'd be a good idea to spray off the air bags as soon as warmer weather allows, but other than that no special care is needed for cold weather. You might find that you need a few more pounds of pressure is necessary to maintain the same level of support when the weather is cold, but other than that you'll have no issue.

  • Does Air Lift Vehicle Air Bag Kit for the 1967 Pontiac GTO # AL60844 Provide Lift in Ride Height
  • The Air Lift Vehicle Suspension Kit for the 1967 Pontiac GTO, part # AL60844, is a correct fit for the 1967 GTO (as long as it is not the wagon model). Air bag kits like this are designed primarily to provide support to a suspension that is in good working order when it is handling a heavy load. They are not designed to provide suspension lift or increase weight capacity so your ride height will remain unchanged. But if faced with a heavy load in the rear they will help prevent some of...

  • Will Added PSI on Firestone Air Bags for Ram 2500 Help Trailer Bounce
  • Thanks for the purchase of the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2299, and those along with an Air Ride pin box like the Trailair # LC158778 put you very much ahead of the game in terms of towing comfort. But as far as psi in the air bags, there really isn't a recommended level. You should really just experiment to see what the most optimal setting is for you, though I will say 10 psi is pretty low. I think it would probably be a good idea to pump that psi up to see if it makes...

  • Will Air Lift Air Bags Raise 2018 Ram 2500 When Unloaded
  • Air bags are not really going to raise your 2018 Ram 2500 when it is unloaded, as they simply serve as a support mechanism for your current suspension; it is possible the back of your truck could ride at most an inch or so higher, but it won't serve as a lift. This is true of all air bags, including the ones you asked about from Air Lift, the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57289. The air bags of the # AL57289 measure 6 inches tall as a standard, but there isn't an inflated/deflated...

  • Does Air Command Compressor System Have Air Exhaust Release
  • That's a smart question, though the Air Command Compressor System w/ Light Duty Compressor - Wireless - Smartphone Enabled - Single Path # F2610 does not actually have an air exhaust release because it does not need one. Because it does not actually hold air like an air tank, the compressor does not require an air release. This compressor is a perfect complement to air bags such as the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Double Convoluted # F2582 which fit your 2015 Ford F-150. The...

  • Will Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Air Bags Add Lift to 2013 Chevy Silverado 3500
  • There won't actually be any lift added on your 2013 Chevy Silverado 3500 with the addition of the Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs # F2709. These air bags are going to do a superb job of adding support to your truck's suspension, but I verified with Firestone that they won't give your truck any amount of lift. They will be able to help level it out when the back end is sagging, like when you are towing or are hauling a heavy load, but otherwise won't lift the...

  • Is The Jounce Bumper Cup Required To Be Removed On The Air Lift 5000 Ultimate For 2018 Ram 1500
  • The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Springs # AL88365 will require the jounce bumper cup to be cut off of your 2018 Ram 1500. This can be done with a cut off wheel on a portable grinder or with a reciprocating saw. Once removed you will want to clean up any welding material or pieces that did not come off until the surface is flat and then apply a rust preventing paint or undercoating to protect the steel. I have attached a copy of the instructions that shows this process. This system...

  • Will Firestone F2582 Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs Change Ride Height of 2019 Ford F-150
  • At the 5psi minimum recommended by Firestone, installing their # F2582 Ride-Rite kit will not change your existing ride height, as long as your suspension isn't worn and is in good working order. If the suspension is worn, it could slightly raise the ride height. Also, you might need a lift spacer depending on how much lift has been added. If the lift is less than 1-1/2 inches, you won't need a lift spacer, according to Firestone. If the lift is greater than 1-1/2 inches, you will need...

  • Can Air Horns Be Connected To Air Lift QuickShot Compressor System for Air Springs On 2012 F-150
  • The Air Lift QuickShot Compressor System for Air Springs, part # AL25572 can be used for your air horns on the 2012 F-150. This system has a secondary support line that is usually used for tires and air mattresses and toys but you could run the line to the air horns. The air tank holds up to 2-gallons of air so it should have plenty of air for the horns. This system also has an in-dash control panel that lets you adjust the air in the springs.

  • Is The Air Lift WirelessONE Air Compressor System Able To Go Through a Car Wash?
  • The Air Lift WirelessONE Compressor System # AL25980 is designed to be able to withstand occasional contact with water but should not be in an area that will receive a lot of water exposure. If it is in an area where any jets from the car wash could directly hit then this will increase the risk of it becoming damaged from water. If unsure you can always place a plastic bag over the compressor while going through the car wash to ensure water does not get into the compressor.

  • Will Air Lift Air Suspension System Raise Ride Height of 2017 Ford F-250
  • The internal jounce bumpers in the LoadLifter Ultimate air bag system # AL88399 could possibly raise the vehicle ride height a tiny bit, even when aired down, but the LoadLifter 5000 without the jounce bumper, part # AL57399 will NOT raise the vehicle ride height when aired down to the 5psi minimum, as confirmed by Air Lift. In this instance where you'd want to air down before pulling into the garage, an onboard compressor system like # AL25856 would be pretty convenient. You can add or...

  • Should PSI of Air Lift 7500 XL Air Bags for 2020 GMC Sierra 2500 be Based on Pin Weight of Trailer
  • Yes, it does sound correct; you can use the pin weight calculation for the psi of the Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs # AL57541 on your 2020 GMC Sierra 2500. That said, it doesn't have to be that exact, and you can use your calculations more as a baseline if you like. You can test it out using that air pressure as sort of a starting point, and adjust from there. If you go to 31 psi and your truck is level with the full pin weight then awesome, you're set. But if you're...

  • Air Suspension Enhancement System For 2017 Toyota Tundra
  • Since the Air lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate # AL88299 does not come with a gauge for the cab of your 2017 Tundra, you can use a pressure gauge to check how much pressure you have in the system. If the loads you are carrying will not vary a lot, using a manual gauge would probably work for you. If you want to be able to change the amount of pressure you have in the springs from the comfort of your truck cab or when you are outside, I recommend an air compressor system like part # AL25980....
