Easy install and perfect location between the axle and frame. Only had to remove one existing bolt from the B&W turnover ball brackets on each side. Best price I could find with fast shipping.

I first used a set of air bags several years ago to help my '09 F-250 ride height under heavy loads. They allow you to stiffen the rear suspension when loaded and soften it while empty, which improves ride quality in both areas. Later we began using an '08 F-250 with a softer rear suspension and I opted for an Air Lift kit for it. I mistakenly ordered the wrong kit and upon reading the directions discovered my error. A quick phone call to SD Truck Springs and everything was corrected. I returned the incorrect kit while you shipped the right one which I received promptly. The kits are easy to install and work well for my application. Mine are not connected to an onboard compressor although I have considered installing one.
Your pricing and customer service were the reasons I chose SD Truck Springs and why l'm a return customer.

I received my air lift kit within a few days after placing the order. My friend and I both have 5th wheel camping trailers. The install was easy enough and the air lift kits have made towing our campers much easier. Thank you!

The online order was assisted by texting with a support person. He was knowledgeable and helpful and made the process easy and actually fun because I asked for a T-shirt and he sent one...the install went well and assembly according to the instruction is important to follow...i placed the air up valve in the bottom hole of my license plate...thank you. 5 stars

So far I've very much liked the kit it was easy to install and it's been very helpful. I'm still fine tuning my psi but that's all what I'm towing. I would and have recommended it to other people. Thank you

So far I am super pleased with the bags. If installed correctly, there are no leaks and it holds pressure for very long trips. I carry a very large slide-in camper (4,000 lbs) and they work like a dream. I would recommend this product to others.

After a few weeks of research I decided to go with Air Lift because most comments I had read said they had excellent customer service. After receiving the kit I installed Irvin my shop. Upon completion I noticed a slight leak in one of the bags at a factory seal. The next morning I called Air Lift customer service and no questions asked I had a new bag in 2 days. The bags performed better than I had expected with the weight I carry. When I’m not towing the 5th wheel I leave 10-11 psi on the bags and it does not leak out at all. Great product and EXCELLENT customer service !!

Love the air bags!! My fifth wheel pulled so much easier after adding these to the truck! Should have installed them years ago!!!
Got the auto pressure system and am not sure I like it.?? When running empty and you try to set the bags at the minimum...every bump you hit the bags stretch.. which tells it to add pressure..and after a few blocks through town the pressure has climbed up to +/-15 lbs. Nothing terrible, just gets a little stiff at times.. Need to wire it to my dash switches so I can shut the pump off when I’m not pulling. Bags are a five star though and I would recommend them to anyone pulling a fifth wheel with a 3/4 ton...

I put this kit on a 2005 F250 Crew Cab PSD. I recently added a skirted flatbed to my truck which added an extra #1200 lbs to the rear of the truck. (above just a normal stock bed) Due to the custom install of my bed and exhaust, installing this kit took a little longer than the 2 hour estimate. But, once I got to the meat and potatoes, this kit was a breeze to install and I'm thrilled with it's performance. I also installed an on-board compressor so I can change the air PSI on the fly...it makes life so much easier.
As far as the install goes, the first time I read the directions and laid all the parts out, I thought the kit looked much more complicated than it really needed to be. My best piece of advice if you buy this kit is to READ THE INSTRUCTIONS. Then, after you read and understand them, FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS. Don't skip ahead, take each step one at a time. Trust me on this...the instructions are very easy to follow, and there are a few places you'll stumble if y

This kit went on quite easily. Took a couple of hours for a friend and I to install it. Have been using it for months now and it has been an excellent addition to my truck. Loaded the airbags up to 60psi and loaded my F250 with one ton of rock and had no squatting. The only negative about this product is that it does not have an on board air compressor. I will be buying one and installing it before camping season this spring, but the airbags are awesome!

GREAT!!! They raised my truck about 2" due to my 2400# truck camper.
That 2" makes a BIG difference in the ride and handling.
Thanks for the quick service and great products

Pulling my travel trailer is alot better now.

I have purchased two of these kits over the last 4 years. Installed one on a 2008 F-250 and one on a 2009 F-250. I had contemplated installing this kit for many years on several previous trucks. I wish I had done it 15 years ago. It has been one of the best additions to our fleet trucks we have ever purchased. We pull trailers with a GVW from 8000 to 25000 pounds and the air lift system has allowed us to maintain a level, safe ride loaded but still maintaining that stock ride when unhooked. I will be buying a new kit for each new truck we add from now on.
