Question:
I am going to take my Air Lift 5000 AL57204 off / out of my current 2013 GMC Sierra 4X4 and reinstall them in a 2016 Chevrolet 1500 4X4. I am currently using one of these T- Unions . Is there a way to get the air lines out of the compression / slip on fittings and then be able to reuse them ?

Expert Reply:
Keeping the airbags at the 5 psi minimum while not in use will allow the bags to retain their shape properly and not end up folded over or in any other position that might cause a portion of the bag to wear out prematurely.
I am curious as to how you are measuring the amount of air in the airbags. I would also like to see a photo of the airbags installed and inflated to 5 psi while on your truck. If you can provide me with this information I may be able to provide further advice.
