    Air Bag Suspension

    I'm think I need to add air bags to my rear suspension, and was wondering what brand / model you all recommend?

    Our first trip in the camper last year, another GR user was talking all about his, and how great they made the ride.

    You should find plenty of discussion if you use the search function for air bags. I prefer Airlift mainly because it is installed between the axle and frame rail compared to Firestone air bags which uses an offset bracket for the install. There are many different models including on board air compressors or manually filled air bags. I went with the manual route, if I were traveling more frequently I might consider the on board air option.

    If I towed all the time, i'd be going for an AirLift setup with the compressor controlled from the driver's seat. But I seldom tow heavy enough to use the bags.

    I installed Airlifts on my F250 but have two Schraeder valves to fill them. I carry an air tank with me anyway

    I prefer Airlift. I installed them on the F350, and just put them on the F450 two weekends ago. Both were the 5000 Ultimate+ model (with internal jounce) and coupled with the Airlift WirelessAir compressor.
