Default Slam Bag Helper Bag Install 2/4 drop

I installed Air Lift Co. Slam Bag #59103 yesterday took me like 3 hours used all basic and tools and a drill for the installing the upper brackets. I have a 2/4 mcgaughys drop kit, n the rear was bottoming out all the time. So I was deciding on mcgaughys air helper bags or slam bags. The reason why I didn’t go with mcgaughys it was 100 dollars more and basically it was the same thing. After installing the kit the truck n driving it around the truck didn’t bottom out and didn’t bounce, felt stiffer, handled better. Should have got this when I installed the suspension kit. Heres some pics of the install…

Install was pretty easy the instructions were easy to follow. Pretty good upgrade for 190 bucks with shipping from Summit.

I know this is a super old bump, but this information really helped me.

Thanks Classic07.

I'm using a different AirLift kit that looks just like that and I really like it with one exception, the 90deg elbows that are on top of those bags. I've replaced them once and one of them doesn't work, it leaks. I've tried cutting the hose-several times but the push lock part(red part) will not lock. Currently looking for an alternative elbow.
