Re: Air bags for a daily driver?
I daily drove my 2003 2500hd on airbags from 2009 to 2014 when I sold it. I routed my airlines very carefully and made sure nothing rubbed or touched the bags. Dont even let exhaust gases hit the airline or bag. Its enough heat to blister it. The thing that makes it ultra drivable to me is proper planning. I had an engine driven compressor with 2 electric ViAir backups. The engine driven is super fast, never had to wait for air. I had check valves at the compressors, going into the tank, and going into the RideTech BigRed valve block. The only failure that would take the truck down was a blown bag, which only happens due to improper installation, lack of maintenance, or cheap parts. I ran firestone or slam bags. No offbrand garbage. And you can plug a bag like a tire in an emergency.
