    Nice install, Chris. It's worth mentioning that while airbags may level the truck with a trailer attached, they contribute zero, zip, nada to weight distribution. I don't think I've ever seen a weight distributing hitch with a boat trailer but they're very common on travel trailers.

    I run the coil spring helper bags inside my rears in a lowered yukon that I tow with. Trying to be cheap I installed a generic 12v compressor on the frame but used airlifts control gauge that powers and releases the air. I run 5 psi unloaded and 50 (max) during towing and I’ve been pleased with it. Going on 5 years now and the dash control of up and down is a game changer. They do sell a compressor to for around 100 IIRC but my $30 generic compressor works fine. I also keep the manual fill port in case of a compressor failure.

    We had these bags on a Chevy delivery truck, LOVED them! I wanted to get these for my 2010 Tundra, unfortunately AirLift doesn't make this style kit for my truck, they make a bag with an internal bump stop that fits under the frame and attaches to the top of the leaf spring. Long story short, me personally, I hated them. Went with a different brand air spring kit and added cradles so the underside of the bag can float if it needs to for articulation. Most people don't realize how limiting a bag can be.

    Well this is crazy... Chris I had installed the same kit maybe just a year ago bc I tow a small 6'x10' cargo trailer and my '03 Tundra's box with a Workman cap covering the bed is filled with things that already are a load for the old shocks and leaf springs... yeah it was a definite neccessary addition to have better steering axle control and now I see less of the hood out over the steering wheel. If you know what I mean. I'm going back to the video now to see how your install went; with help and a lift at my mechanic's shop we, he and I installed this kit within a couple hours. Drilling into the frame for the mounts was a bit of a task... I can't wait to see how you manage... we both being in our 60's and not the healthiest dudes manhandled that drill together... Also I placed the valves up in the driver's side rear wheel well, there were holes there already. I'm in the furnace state of AZ and I worry those rubber bags are drying out fast. So how are they so far? Well I didn't tow now for some time but just the other day I hitched up my cargo trailer and needed to add air to the bags, I feel like they are holding to date, thus far, so good. Edit: I don't go mudden so having the air valves up in the wheel well hasn't been an issue, just thought I'd say ...
