Air bags for a daily driver?

[tsetsaf]

Always enjoy the resurrected posts... We now have 35k on a fully bagged stock ride height 3/4 ton. It is amazing comfort and control. Won a Good Guys autocross with it (shell cab on the bed and everything!).

We created our system using various parts and components. We have an auto level air management from Dakota Digital. We used 1/4" nylon ptf lines. Our biggest issues were related to cheap fittings. Buy the high end semi truck fittings and avoid my headaches.

If you use nylon also be very aware of heat and debris. All lines we wrapped with 1/4" inside diameter rubber fuel line. After 20k we suddenly had a leak in the driver front bag. Turned out the exhaust was heating the frame, the airline had started touching said frame and melted thru.

We are now 15k without incident. I do carry an extra airbag, airline, and fittings at all times.

Being stock height we do take the truck offroad and the ability to raise and lower the truck has been very useful (clearing rocks or sneaking under trees).
