Air Bags?

[Rivieraracing]

Do you run with air bags, Denalianyone, and do you have to pull the fuse? Just hoping someone with a denali and bags will chime in with some knowledge with how to handle the auto level part of it all??? Anybody???

I dont know hom much this helps you, but I added helper bags on my Titan and loved them. They are different style and it had leaf springs, but stability was awesome. I was pulling an 8k pound 30ft camper. It felt 100% more stable after the helper bags went on.

Oh, this is my first post, finally past the lurker stage...lol

Thanks for the welcome. I like to help when I can, but probably wont be a big help on tahoe...lol I am pretty much past the custom stage, I spent about $25k on a S-10 that I sold for $3500 lol. However my next project is a 49 chevy truck on a s-10 frame. Thanks to everyone for info on my DD hoe.

Isn't that the way it all plays out in the end 9 times out of 10!!! I've been there and feel your pain brotha!!

So anybody have the bad boy air bag setups on their yukons or tahoes, like the 5000lb rated firestone ride rite air bag systems on their rides? Use them for towing purposes? Any pics and experiences of installing them themselves?

Hey Bigmean, do you have any pics of the airbags you put on your Titan and know what brand and type of airbags they are?

Just did a 2/3 on my Denali XL Friday. Put in the helper bags as well and I will not be disabling my air ride. I put my 8k Boat on back and lugged it on Saturday with 5lbs in the bags and it was a nice ride. I've got some adjustments to make, but the bags shined during use. The factory air ride worked no harder than a normal day without the boat on back. Came on at key on and aired up in less than 20 seconds.

Thursday I have to pull the boat to storage, I'll see about some shots in tow.
