Product Description
We want our trucks to do everything. Hit the trails, tow the boat to the river, take to work and transport the family on long road trips. Adding an air bag system to your full-size truck or SUV has always meant scratching at least one of those off your list. With most air bag systems, the lower air bag mount is placed above the leaf spring significantly reducing wheel travel by design. Your air bag system should compliment your truck, not inhibit its ability. Daystar's new Air Bag Cradle* (Patent Pending) mounts to your trucks lower suspension providing more room for the air bag to safely cycle with no loss of overall wheel travel. Inferior lower air bag mounts restrict air bag movement using inadequate space, which can lead to unexpected damage to the air bag. Made from extremely tough Daystar Polyurethane, the Air Bag Cradle allows for full suspension travel, while still allowing the full benefits of your air bag system. The Air Bag Cradle fits most full-size pick up trucks, and SUV's running 6-inch diameter air bags and are made in the USA.

Customers like the performance, ease of installation, quality and articulation of the air suspension cradles. For example, they mention it works well, the instructions are good and it's easy to mount. That said, they're happy with ride quality, and versatility. That being said, opinions are mixed on fit and thickness.
AI-generated from the text of customer reviews
Customers are satisfied with the performance of the air spring. They mention that it works well for different applications, including towing and light off-roading. Some say that it allows them to run air bags yet still maintain full axle drop when twisting.
"...Now I have an airbag system that works and works well without the worry of tearing the airbags apart, or stretching out cheap little j-bolts..." Read more
"Great product and works well for different applications...." Read more

Customers like the articulation of the auto part. They say it increases articulating, the suspension will have more articulatio, and it allows the truck to flex again. It's easy to install and a must-have for full articulaiton if you have air bags. The product eliminates the rear axle articulations issue for any load helper airbag system. It provides a stable base but flexibility for the rear axle to travel without stressing.

"...It was easy to align these on the pacbrake lower bracket, drill and mount this cradle to the lower bracket with the included hardware." Read more
Customers are mixed about the thickness of the auto part. Some mention that they're high-density plastic, so they won't rust or corrode. They also say that the added cradle is thick and with the suggested 5lbs psi in the bag it lifts. However, others say that they are very thick and reduce suspension travel significantly.
"...They're high-density plastic, so they won't rust or corrode, and hopefully won't break...." Read more
"...droop travel, you loose over an inch of compression because the cradles are so thick...." Read more
"...The added cradle is thick and with the suggested 5lbs psi in the bag it lifts the rear of the truck up about 5/8" without a load...." Read more
"These work great, they do add a little thickness under the bag so if you are installing them on a stock truck that is something you'll have to think..." Read more

I purchased the Daystar Cradles so the airbags wouldn't have to be attached to the bottem brackets anymore and were free to let the suspension drop as far as they would go and when the suspension travels back up, the cradle centers the airbags giving it a place to land without letting it slip out latteraly.
As for the j-bolts my fix for that was to toss them, cut off the parts of the lower brackets that they bolted to and welded the brackets themselves onto the jounce pads. Now I have an airbag system that works and works well without the worry of tearing the airbags apart, or stretching out cheap little j-bolts causing catastrophic helper airbag malfunction. :)
If you are going to use your vehicle off-road, I recommend installing Daystar cradles so that the airbag does not act like a limiter strap, restrict downtravel and get damaged when the suspension droops. From what I read, it is not recommended to use airbag spacers and Daystar cradles together but you should confirm this for yourself.
The bottom of the Daystar Cradle is 3/4" thick and does act like a small spacer, adding a little lift even with less than 10 psi in the air springs.
When installing these cradles with the Firestone Ride-Rite air springs, the cradle will bolt onto the lower bracket that gets attached to the top of the axle with 4 carriage bolts holding two bracket straps under the leaf springs (see photos). Without the cradle, the air spring would be bolted directly to this lower bracket. Make sure the airbag is in good alignment before you tighten everything down. Firestone lists the torque spec for airs spring to lower bracket as 15 – 20 ft lbs, so I assumed it was the same for the cradle to the lower bracket.
