Description
So, you've added a lift kit, but still haul with the truck, so you also installed a set of air bags, that should take care of it, right? WRONG! The problem with this is that airbags drastically reduce the ability of the rear suspension to articulate and move through its normal wheel travel, somewhat defeating the purpose of the lift kit you just installed. Daystar has eliminated this problem with their new Air Bag Cradle. This cradle mounts to your trucks lower suspension providing more room for the air bag to safely cycle with no loss of overall wheel travel. With the standard mounting, the airbag is mounted to a bracket that is affixed to the rear axle, only allowing the axle to articulate as much as the airbag will stretch. With this cradle system, the airbag is no longer attached to the bracket or rear axle, it merely rests into the cradle. When the suspension needs to articulate, the airbag merely lifts out of the cup, then drops back in when it returns to normal ride height.....INGENIOUS!
