Helper air bags
Ok I want some input from all you bagged guy's. I installed the helper bags a few years ago and they work great.
 I have to put air to them through the schrader valves in the back bumper.  I bought a Buick Park Ave Ultra air compressor for the suspension and mounted it.  I have the Delco pleasure-lift gauge and air valve to release the air and I mounted a momentary switch to turn the compressor on/off. I didn't want a regular on/Off switch because I was affraid I would forget the switch and blow the bags up.  My question is should I have anything else in the system to make it ride better for the system I have installed. Opinions suggestion's...

Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs. |

Re: Helper air bags
I would remove the spring and install just a standard 2600 bag,... for a better ride.
Some rear shock relocators and an adjustable track bar also.

Re: Helper air bags
Those must be old pics.
There is no shock relocator in those pics.
