Question:

OK you installed the Air Lift springs. How about telling us how it rides? I dont want to do anything that will make my truck ride harsher.

Air bag kits like the Air Ride part # AL59516 will either totally unaffect your unloaded/loaded ride quality if they are deflated or they will make the ride stiffer if the bags are inflated. If you put quite a bit of pressure in the bags they will get harsh.

A lot of people think of air bags an assume it's soft, but when there's quite a bit of pressure in the bags they do get stiff.

The sweet spot is just enough pressure to give you the additional support you need without getting too harsh.
