    Hi folks has anyone found a rear airbag kit for these 22 tundras?

    I bought the timbren rubber springs but they're awful

    Lots of stuff!
    What did you dislike about the Timbrens? I have some and find them and bit jarring when they make contact with the axle. I am waiting on the next trip with the trailer to see how they feel under load.

    I bought the Air Lift Load Lifter 5000 for my 2022 Ltd TRD OR and they have been very good, install took about 3 hours. Almost the same ones from the video above, but not the Ultimate. Towed 200 miles last weekend with a hitch heavy (800 lbs) toy hauler that weighed in around 5000 lbs. It felt more stable than previous towing experiences and reduced the sag almost to nothing. I'm debating on adding in the compressor but I have a VIAIR compressor that hooks up quick and the bags retain the pressure pretty well.

    . Underload they feel very stable, I used them with a snowmobile in the bed and separately while towing a trailer and the stability was great. Unloaded however its unbearable, the slightest bump or dip causes them to slam like hitting bump stops. My 1794 has about an inch of clearance unloaded so they almost always contact the rubber. They do not have any progression in their stability which is badly needed. The plant is in my town so I had the engineer look at them and he swapped to softer rubbers, same issue just to a lower degree. I told him they should be used in all kits over the harder ones. I'm buying the air ride 5000 today and Im thankful for this video link

    Are you using a WDH with this setup as well?

    Yes, I have an Andersen WDH. Both of them together helps with moving the weight off of the rear axle and keeping things stable.

    I ordered the Air Lift setup in the video and they are on back order everywhere so anticipate a weight (get it?)...

    I "weighted" 8 weeks when I ordered mine in December and decided to cancel the order because of some questionable interactions with the company. I was told the item was out of stock but it would only be 3-4 weeks, however, for an additional $75 they could get a "partner" company to ship them to me. Kept checking in every two weeks and got the same "partner company" offer two more times before I cancelled the order and had to pester them for a few days to refund the credit card. I ended up paying a higher price than the "partner" offer, but they were in stock and I had them in five days.
