Air bags for load leveling.

Any recommendations for air bags for my 2003 Tundra Access cab. I want to be able to level it while hauling a camper or trailer. Thanks!

 

Welcome from CO. A lot of good info on airbags in the search function.

 

Welcome from NY.

 

What @BTBAKER said but i'll make it easy on ya. Firestone ride rite.

 

Yea, that’s what I’m running. Happy so far. Airlift seems popular as well.

 

Same. With daystars. Love em.

 

I run airlift, purchased from Amazon. I like them.

 

How much did it raise from factory, if any when at minimum air?

 

No noticeable lift at minimum air. A couple inches at 50PSI with no load. I have not tried them at their max PSI. They can only provide lift by canceling out the empty weight of your truck bed, which is just a few hundred pounds. Your stock suspension is already designed to do this. After that they are working AGAINST your springs to provide further lift so they very quickly reach the point of diminishing returns in that regard and also result in a rock hard rear suspension.

But they are not intended to provide lift. The point is to maintain normal handling and ride height with a load.

 

I actually obtained a little over half an inch lift at 8psi on both sides

 

Are those the cradles?

 

So last weekend I put on the air lift 5000 kit. Great kit, easy install. However, I didn’t want to mount the bottom of the bag. It would limit the droop/articulation. So I put the daystar cradles in. They’re great. Bad thing is, the airlift bags have built in bump stops. At the time I thought “ cool”. Nope. Small bumps bottom out and hit the bump stops making a semi harsh hit. Granted, if I didn’t use the daystar cradles, probably wouldn’t have this issue, but again, don’t want to limit droop. Daystars are about 1 1/8” thick.
So, just got some generic bags in today that collapse small, no internal bump stop. We’ll see how that works now that I already have brackets.
Let you guys know Saturday evening.

 

Just wondering if I was going to need to raise the front a little bit. Getting them for my camper and I pull a 7 yard dump trailer at work sometime and it's kinda tounge heavy

 

I had them on my T100 that was used to haul bulk bottled water, they worked great. I have a kit that I purchased for my '02, but never installed it because the company that private labeled my bottled water went out of business. I have them on my '07 to keep the bed & drive shaft from making contact, they work great.

 

I blew out my center support pulling my camper bc of the angle it put the driveshaft in Definitely have to find a solution and get that spicer center support..

 

Yes

 

I've been using the Air Lift Ride Control for about five years. No issues thus far.
