Air lift suspension questions
Air lift suspension questions
do they make an air bag lift that will lift the truck in both the front and the rear?
are air bag kits only designed to stiffen the truck suspension with a load on it or can they raise the truck as well?
the reason i ask is that i want to still be able to put the truck in the garage (7') but also want a 4-6" lift. i dont pull anything other then a 22' boat that weighs around 7k loaded. is there something out there?

If you're towing, why would you raise the entire truck?? But to answer your question about lift, I have the Firestone dual control airbag kit on the rear which will lift the rear loaded or not. I put them on cause the rear springs had weakened to the point that no matter what weight trailer I put on the truck it would sit on the helpers and sag.
I actually lowered the rear by removing the spacers under the leafs as I haul various types of 5th wheels which have different size pin boxes and I needed more clearance between the bedrails. I also wanted to avoid having to adjust the 5th wheel hitch height with each different trailer. The 4X4's sit pretty high in the rear stock. Now, I have enough clearance and can raise the rear without worrying about contact on the bedrails.
