Are Air Lift Air Bag Kits Attached to the Top and Bottom Brackets
Updated 10/30/2025 | Published 10/05/2025 >
Question:
Are these air bags “free floating” for maximum actuation? Some brands have cradles so they don’t act like a tether. Are they attached to the bottom plate?

Hey Daren, the air bag of the Air Lift kit part # AL57577 is attached to the top and bottom brackets of the kit. It would not allow for maximum articulation as the bags would want prevent the suspension from fully topping out. Are you for sure wanting air bags or would you consider a different option?
