Are you asking if you can drive it without air in the bags? No, and the point of the air system is to drive it in an "up" position, then dump the air when it's parked.

As for the system itself, it's a quality package. It's also a bit pricey in some areas. While their valves are unique to them (that is, they are the only ones that produce that specific configuration), at some point a bag is a bag and a tank is a tank.

BTW, I installed the then current version of that kit on my truck about 9 years ago. Much of it is still in use.

The more air in them the better it will ride.The trick to air bags once you get them on pick a ride height you like remember what psi front and back.The get a alignment at that psi and always drive it at that psi.Air bags will give you a smoother ride and when you park it if you drop it everyone will be looking at you.

Re: Level 1 Air ride?

Bradley, I hope you don't take offense, but I would like to give you a bit of friendly advice. Think before you post here. You will find that this area of the forums is a bit different than the rest of board in that most of the guys that post here are more than willing to help, but they won't fiddle-fart around with silly questions and useless posts. Ken (admin) runs a friendly, but tight ship in this area. I think you will find that most everything that can be asked about suspension designs, systems and components has already been asked in the past and very thorough answers can be found with just simple search.

No. It shows the kit, not a truck with the kit.

Re: Level 1 Air ride?

Bradley,

My post to you was given as friendly advice, not the beginnings of a debate. You may want to go back and re-read the part about silly questions and useless posts.

Thanks,
Shane
