Bed sag while towing?

I put on aftermarket air bags (Air Lift) with an on board air compressor... Has a remote to change settings on the fly... Was the best money I ever spent...
My Opinion on beefing up suspension with stiffer springs just sounds like a rougher ride when empty....

 

Which ones did you get?

 

It's been awhile ago that I got them, so I'm not exactly sure which bags it was... I do remember it being one of the 5000's ...

Here's the link to the site... https://www.airliftcompany.com/

Here's the link to the air compressor and controller.. https://www.airliftcompany.com/products/compressor-systems/wirelessone/

I lowered the spare tire and mounted compressor above it bolted to the bottom of the bed

 

After looking further... it was one of the Ultimate 5000's that has the internal jounce...

 

I had a Ford F150 Supercab 4x4. It was all stock no bags or other mods.

When I was searching for my 22 Tundra Limited 4x4 with air suspension I used the dealer search feature at the bottom of build your own Tundra page on Toyota Site. This took me to Toyota dealers web pages across the midwest and many had a link to the window sticker in their listing. Then I could verify if it had the air suspension. It took several months but I found one in Pennsylvania with the exact color I wanted and fully loaded with every option except TRD OR Pkg. I flew out and drove it home.

 

Welp that answers that question... The TRD Pro is my favorite Tundra minus the 5.5 bed.

 

Pro's are sweet. Not the best towing setup though.

 

A set of airbags will fix up that Pro.

 

Agree 100%... will level the truck out and handle and ride SO MUCH BETTER ...

 

Honestly can't say I have seen one with it and I have looked at a lot of window stickers.... Was it listed on the left side or the option side?

 

It was on the right option side and the Limiteds that had it were loaded with a lot of options. I never saw one when I walked dealer lots. I did find a bunch that had air suspension when I searched online like I described in my post above.

This is option code and wording
NF Load leveling rear suspension

 

ok I have looked at a lot of limiteds can’t say I’ve ever seen that. The Toyota website inventory search is a PITA and rarely works correctly.

 

Just saw my first limited with rear air suspension and its not a hybrid....

 

Glad you finally found one. When I was searching for a Limited with air suspension, one out of every 20-30 I’d see online would have it. They are out there. It was a must have for me because I have it on my Sequoia and wouldn’t buy a truck without it again. I allowed myself six months to find the exact color and options I wanted. And I found it looking online. Not everyone wants to wait that long to find the exact truck they want and that’s okay. If you can spend more money there are more on the 1794s and Platinums than Limiteds. On those two models I believe it is called Load Leveling Rear Height Control with AVS. I wanted my purchase price to stay below 59k so higher trim levels weren’t an option for me. Hope you find one soon.

 

I am actually ordering this same exact system today for my 2017 SR5 Double Cab TRD 2WD as I tow a travel trailer that weighs 5700 lbs when loaded. I have done extensive research and it all came back to going with Air Lift. I am also going to change out my original shocks to new ones as I presently still have the original factory shocks and have 120,000 miles on my truck.

 

Good deal... You'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner... Only thing you have to do is cut the bump stop off (leaving 3/4" tall) on your truck before installing the air bags... Which bags did you go with ? The only difference I see from the best ones (most expensive) and the next ones down is the air lines... Best ones have braided stainless air lines where the next ones down (which I have) is push to connect plastic lines... I'm in Fl. so I didn't see the need for stainless braided lines ...

 

I just ordered everything today! As the saying goes “fuck it and just get it”.
