I'm looking at installing air bags on my 06 2500 CTD.

Which air bags are best?

Firestone / Air Lift

Why???

Thanks....

 

They are all about the same. I am very happy with my PacBrake Air bags. But I don't recall hearing about problems with any of the brands.

..

 

So far I am happy with my Carli long travel air bags.

 

I had to grind the brackets a little for the Firestone Ride-Rites I have. Based on pictures of the PacBrake brackets if I were to do again, I would go with PacBrake if priced reasonably close.

 

Firestone bolted right up on my 06 MC 2500

 

im very happy with my Firestones.

 

Pacbrake! Thier bracket system is awesome and supports on the axel well.
Thier CS is second to none also.

 

I used Firestone Ride Rites.. No problems when I installed them.

 

I used firestone bags and the Air Lift wireless controller and compressor, Love the whole setup. We also tow a fifth whell and nice to be able to air up and down without leaving the truck...

 

Air lift was a easy bolt on.

Looking forward to installing the wireless air controller in a month or two.

I vote for PAC Brake, they were $279 as opposed to $450 and up (thats up here in Canada) for the other brands.
They were mounted in 2.5 hours including finding my tools I needed. Would have been less if I had of read the instructions as to which way the mounting brackets went on.

 

Thanks for all the input.....

 

Mexstan, do you have any more informations about those airbags? I gues they are designed for off road use and for towing heavy loads in a long travel suspension?

Thx,
Kris

 

For empty use I have zero air in them, but when the fiver is on I pump some air in them to level the truck. If for some crazy reason I needed to, can even make the rear higher than normal just by pumping in more air. Take a look in my gallery at the photo of the gauges and you will see a single gauge halfway down the gearshift. That is actually two gauges in one and with the switches each side I can fill or deflate each bag individually.
Contact Carli for the full tech specs.

 

Thx Mexstan, will have a look in your gallery right now and have a look at the Carli page later
