Air Lift Super Duty Bags Installed

[AXE]

Thanks for the input - I am going to try the Timbren SES and see how it works. I figure it's cheap enough to try and I tow pretty much daily so I'll know pretty quickly if this is the ticket.

After your done trying them, if you want to throw them in the 5 gallon pail with my ol man's Timbrens experiment there's still room left. They've been sitting in his garage for 15 years.

I still need to but bags on mine. I haven't gotten around to it yet. Was on the fence on what to go with and just put it off,

The 1500 guys are running these RAS systems and reviews are really good. If your not towing more than 8000 lbs regularly, I would run these. They say they are compatible with 2500HDs but may need to remove overload spring. May be worth a call to them to see what they say about the ZR2 or "lifted trucks".

We'll see. I've read a lot more comments about bags/lines leaking, compressors failing and electronics not working on airbag systems than I have on Timbrens. In fact, I have not heard anyone with Timbrens unsatisfied with the product after the "fitting" from Timbren. If they don't perform I'll call Timbren and have them "customize" my fit for free to achieve my goal. If after that I still don't like them, I'll throw them in the trash and get back to researching an airbag kit. At this point I've got three people I know personally that went from an airbag system to Timbrens and have never looked back.

I've had five sets of them and the only problem I've had was with the nick in the wiring on this current compressor. Air Lift sent me out a new compressor cause it was damaged during packing. My boy is driving my last 2500HD and the bags are still fine. It's spent 9 years in the Arizona heat and 2 years in North Dokota cold.

Everyone that has problems with air bags has problems with everything they own, cause they dont know how to install them, maintain them, or fix them.

Good point about installing, maintaining and fixing. I’ve never taken any of my trucks to be “fixed” because there isn’t a shop out there that will do better than I will. The three friends I mentioned earlier are all like me and don’t have problems with anything they own so that’s not always true. I’m very particular about things so if these Timbrens don’t do the trick I’ll be installing bags.

I guess, in other words, you're saying the Timbrens are junk? Lol

They work, it's just that they are limited in their function. If your gonna always have the same load you might get what you're after. Air bags are 100% customizable, so you get whatever ride you want per load. If I wanted a different jounce, SumoSprings seems like its more customizable.
