Re: trying to find a rear only air bag kit

It would be nice to get the rear down 4 to 5 inches and still be able to haul the dirt bikes or the Harley in the back, perhaps a small trailer too.

Air bags seem like just the thing. low when empty, pumped up when hauling and slammed for loading bikes (better load angle).
I assume I would need some fairly heavy bags, as I still plan to use it like a truck.
Also, I'm not sure about drive line geometry, shocks, shock placement, panhard bar etc.
I don't want to mess up my truck and not be able to haul heavy loads.

The truck will normally ride 4-5" lower in the rear when empty, and pump the air bags up taller and stiffer with a load
best options?


Shoot us an email and we can follow up and discuss your needs and recommend a system that will work best for your goals and budget!

Typically we would recommend the bags with mounting brackets, a shock relocation system, and a new trac bar that will work in harmony with the drop and travel the air system will provide.

You will also need a way to fill the air bags. You can go as simple as a schrader valve set up that you manually fill and deflate as needed, or an electric compressor and tank with valves to make it easier!
