I love them ! I can haul Edit through the whoops then load the trailer up add a lil air and all is good.They ride great when you have no load,unlike the firestone set ups I have driven.I have had them down the Baja race course,forgot to put any air in even though I was a bit heavy with tools,lots of ice chests and tons of firewood.The only way to go if you off road and tow in my opinion.


You can still get full droop with out the worry of separation like the std bags will and not loose any compression travel either

Now that Defiant pulled the plug you probably should just go directly to Carli.

Well they had a bit of a falling out and it appears Defiant dropped all Carli parts from its catalog.

OT, the threads about carli and defiant were pulled from the board. just review their web sites.

If I towed allot, I would get those air bags. Seems like the best solution for travel and ride.

Heres the quote from their site, on ALL the carli system product descriptions...
This quote was originally removed from this forum so they don't "hash" out there issue here. Please DO NOT POST it again.

Sure glad I bought my stuff from Don. I wonder if there is any copy right infringements on the SS swaybar endlinks? Who holds the patent on those, Sage or Sean?

The statement on Defiants site is NOT accurate.
I am not running onboard air on the truck,I have both a 1/3 hp 12v compressor and a power tank set-up in the truck,but I have seen people get by with a bicycle tire pump.It only takes 15 psi with the trailer on board to get the ride I am looking for.
Polyperformance is also a good place to order from.

Thumbs up Carli long travel airbags.

I'm running them on my truck and they are a definite improvement over Firestone's which I had previously in my '99 and my '07. I don't know how they do it but they provide a softer ride,more travel,yet improved sway control. 10" of travel advertised with Carli or Lorenz mini-paks. Also next to zero pressure loss over the two months they've been in. My 2000# camper's always on.
