HMX-1, Thanks for the link but none of the parts are available.

How long ago did you order them? The post is from 2009.

When I spoke to Air Lift they had no interest in selling part of the kit to use my existing OBA. There would be no warranty on any parts if I didn't use the compressor in the kit.

I would already have this kit on the truck, but their attitude changed my mind.

AirLift posted in this thread, maybe they will have something to add.

They changed the manifold to a new design. I had heard they were working on this since the older design (like mine) needed a small electric valve to act like their compressor since it's a tankless design and prevents over filling the bags with air.

If this is what I think it is, it's a huge step for folks like us with onboard air systems already.


Manifold for the airbags is part number 72700.

Wireless AIR controller is still part number 73002.


Both are available from Summit Racing


Install PDF which has all the part numbers: http://www.catalograck.com/imgVD/AIL...72000_Gen3.pdf

Thanks. Unfortunately it's still cheaper to just buy the complete 72000 kit.

It would be really nice if Air Lift put a kit together without the compressor, and priced it accordingly.

CW put mine on in 2010. No issues either. I had to get the installer to center
the bag on the platform as much as possible, it was way off when he first put it in.

I pulling 3150 lbs on the pin. Run 43-45 psi for level tow.

Never less than 15lbs when running light truck.

Last post on this for me... I just got my latest CW ad booklet in the mail and near the center was an Airlift Kit on sale for installation.

Sooo if the OP was correct, I'm not so sure they would advertise it.
