Shock Questions

[LoHoe]

Amazon for me......

Here check this out.............

No weight on springs, and on a lift.

VS.

Weight of truck down........



This is why Tony makes you measure the distance top to bottom with the weight down.

Why you never used shock extenders? I never seen a helper bag like that before. I need to look into that so I could get some. Do you have to have a air tank and compressor for those?

No you dont need a air tank they come with a line and you can manually fill them

I am only dropped a 1.25 on paper and about a 1 1/2 in real life..... so really no need for extenders..... that is what Tony told me.

Hey guys, will the airlift 1000 change the ride hieght of the truck? I like the way my truck sits now and I don't want to change the hieght... I just hate it when it bottoms out when there's kids in the 3rd row... I want to put the airlift 1000 in hoping it could help the bottoming out situation without sacrificing ride hieght... I didn't want to do the free travel mod...

Yes and no......

When I out close to max psi..... like 30 in them ...... the ride gets stiff when unloaded. Rides fine loaded.

I run 5-10 in them all the time and at that the truck rides close to stock.

5 psi is almost completely unnoticeable.

The height is about a .25 inch difference for me..... @ 30 psi.

So if I just fill with about 5psi the ride height won't change and I have less chance of bottoming out?... will the truck stiffin up or would the truck ride stay the same?

5 psi really does not do a lot in my setup at all.

For the best ride and help with bottoming you need at least 15 psi.

Height is practically unaffected......

In all honesty though ..... get the bags. Play around with the psi.....and get familiar with it..... then you will find out what works for your setup. Each one is a wee bit different.

Bags are a great investment...... really ALL lowering springs suck for load..... no matter what anyone says.
