We think there is something wrong with it. It seems to be leaking air and not holding on one side.

would like to give praise to the customer service first. Granted I ordered these nearly 11 months ago, I still remember the shipping status email. The air bag kit was a Christmas gift for my girlfriend, yes she has a dually! Well the original item was on back order so I quickly called and the sales rep helped me find a suitable replacement which shipped on time! Thank you for the great work!
I installed the kit last spring and it was a very clear and a straight forward install, took a few hours. She hooked up to her 40 ft horse trailer and immediately felt a difference in ride and handling. We have been "tuning" the airbags on every trip to fine the optimization point.
I would definitely recommend this kit to others!
Thank you very much

Honestly the kit is great. However. I had to fit a kit on a truck with a six inch lift kit
Knowing exactly what size spacers are required for certain height kits would be a great help. I had to buy the kit then half fit it to see what spacers I needed
Any more info you can give us in order to get the right parts for the specific application would help

I have a 2002 GMC 2500HD pickup that I tow a 30' enclosed car hauler with. Over the years, the rear springs have gotten a little weak, making the towing of that trailer something of a hair-raising experience. Even though I probably could have done it, I had a mechanic install them - they do bolt right in, and the only hole drilled was in the bumper for the air valve. Since then, I've towed cars to Minnesota, NE Illinois and locally. The ride is much more solid and sure, WITHOUT a feeling of getting blown off the road by semis passing on the interstate. I have already recommend your air bags as a solution to a number of people. Great, cost-effective solution!
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Kit was very easy to install, took about 1.5 hours from start to finish. I have recommended this product to a friend and installed one on his truck. The only issue I had was getting the air system to seal.

Easy to install - the video helped alot! My brother did the install for me, he is a mechnic, took maybe 45 minutes. Most time consuming part was deciding where to place the air hoses. Not sure I really needed them, 30 lbs of pressure is all that we have in to keep the truck level with the trailer on, but I'm not going nose high down the highway! Super easy to adjust manually. One of my friends purchased a set for her Dodge and several others are considering purchasing as well.

Fact is this is a great product. Arrived as expected and was easy to install on my 2006 GMC 2500HD. Took all of about 2 hours from opening the box to inflation to check for air leaks. No leaks found. Provided instructions were clear and concise. No issues. Have recommended this product to friends and relatives that also haul heavy loads or tow large 5th wheel and bummer pull trailers. Highly noticeable difference in handling.

Great product, if your trying to decide between getting the unit with the air compressor or to go with out get the air compressor. It is amazing how many times I get in the truck with different pay loads. I just push the up arrow and set it to the desired lbs.

Air lift bags have definitely helped keep my truck level when hauling my 4500# boat and my full dump trailer. They have softened my ride when hauling a load. The air bags are definitely a plus on my duramax. Installation was easy and no drilling was a plus.

Very easy installation on my truck. This is the third set I've installed and haven't experienced any problems with installation or use. If anything, I wish they would pack the box better with some packing filler. It came with everything sitting in the box, and no packing so it just bounced around in the box.

The air bags work great i am very happy with them. Easy to install took me about three hr.I pull a 41 ft fifth wheel my truck did not go down at all.

Delivered on time and worked as promised. I tow a 39 ft fiver and the truck and trailer stay level, great product!

Product is well made and easy to install. It took me longer than most, but I'm a perfectionist.
The air springs were installed on my GMC to support the heavy pin weight of my 32 foot fifth wheel. The truck now rides level and the headlights are not shining at the squirrels in the trees. I don't have an air-ride pin box on my RV, so the air bags make up for that fact, and they have helped smooth the ride on the rough rides by acting as a cushion or buffer. They're worth the money, and the time to install them. And unlike leaf spring additions, the bags can be aired-down so you have a smooth and level ride when you're not towing anything.
I wanted to install the on-board compressor, but didn't have the physical room for it. However, if the air lines are installed correctly, the system never loses air - so it's not a problem. I air mine up with a portable compressor that I store in the RV. Also, I have both bags connected with a common air line. That way they're inflated equally. Bu

Very satisifed with the product. Being fairly new and only 2 yrs old, I hope the integrity will suffice.

I did not like the ride when pulling my trailer or carrying a heavy load. I was getting a lot of bounce. I put on new heavy duty shocks all around and still when I would go through a dip in the road I though it was going to bounce me off the road. I tried adjusting air pressure but nothing helped. I ended up taking them off. On the plus side they did level the load. That is why I give 2 stars.
