Review: Air Lift RideControl Air Spring & WirelessOne System

[66nova]

Thanks. I have the front leveled so nothing on the rear so I don't think I'll have any issues.

 

I'll have to take a look at the 5000 series since you can run it with no air if needed.

 

I found mine on Amazon for a great price. I would look there if you decide to pull the trigger.

Exactly what I've been wondering

Matt,

I just put add a leafs on my truck after researching for awhile. The ride quality is great. I was skeptical but I love the way the truck feels with the add a leaf. Cheaper and more durable than a air bag and it's the right way to permanently raise the rear 1.5 inches. I bought the zone off road brand long AAL. I do have a camper shell and I imagine that 200lbs help smooth things out. I did bilstein 5100s also. Trust me if you are looking to lift the rear of your truck and add some payload capacity you won't be disappointed with this setup.

Thanks for the input, appreciate when guys give good follow ups.

 

I also have the canopy and am thinking of that route as well. The rear end is going to wait until spring for camping season.

 

I have the bilstein 5100 0-1" lift rear shocks sitting on my workbench and fronts on backorder...no not sure if the add a leaf will be just a little too much for that shock. What shocks are you running in the rear?

I have the ones designed for the 3" lift and I think you will be fine with the shocks you have. Mine are almost too long. and I have a 3" block in the rear.

One other question on the airbag system.

Can you run a t-fitting to fill up both bags at the same time without using a compressor. If I go with the bags I won't get a compressor at first and want to just fill them up manually. Does AirLift provide/or have a t-fitting that acts as a check valve ? I've heard to not run a t-fitting because during corning it causes the air to transfer back and forth between bags which increases roll and sway.

 

I want to be able to use one schrader valve to fill up both bags equally.

You answered your own question. Yes you can. It has been done numerous times. I have a friend on another forum that witnessed a wreck due to this. It was his friend in front of him and the camper started rocking around a curve. Ended up tipping over.

 

I ran mine back to the license plate and replaced my plate screws with the valves.

 

[Mossyoakglock]

Perfect. Thanks!

 

I guess the compressor works as a sort of check valve to prevent that from happening. I don't mind having to using two valves but it would be nice if you could use some sort of t-fitting and have one air-up point.

My Ram 1500 has factory four-corner air ride. Best. ride. ever.  And auto-leveling or off-road heights at the touch of the button. I'm really surprised other manufacturers don't offer it. I'll never go back; 2019 on order now.
