But now that the blessed event is behind us. Posted by Mark Williams January 9, 2. By Thom Cannell. Pickup trucks have to do many things unfortunately, given the limitations and design characteristics of traditional leaf and coil spring suspensions, sometimes the rough riding tradeoffs are too much to handle. But some companies are providing solutions that can help with the work a pickup has to do as well as provide a smoother ride, especially when empty. We went to the people at Air Lift because it is promoting its new Ride. Control product for the aluminum body F 1. Arriving at Air Lifts Lansing, Mich., headquarters we found a brand new 2. F 1. 50 Lariat Super. AfZved1IA/maxresdefault.jpg' alt='Install Cracked Steam 2009' title='Install Cracked Steam 2009' />Crew 4x. Kubota tractor, weighing about 3,5. It was outfitted with Air Lifts Ride. Control suspension. What better testing setup could we want For the next few hours we towed that tractor over city streets, an interstate and some backcountry two lane roads. On Monday, we learned that Microsoft was killing off the iconic Microsoft Paint program after 32 years and replacing it with Paint 3D in its upcoming Windows 10 update. Our overall impression The Ride. Control suspension provided a stable and even, at times, comfortable ride. Although we never forgot we were towing a trailer, there was nothing unnerving or unsettling about pulling this trailer using the Air Lift suspension. We were in complete control. Air Lift product specialist Andy James said, You dont have to have airbags you just need to. In other words, any factory pickup can pull trailers or haul payloads that meet manufacturer ratings. But if you want more control and stability, you might want airbags. And thats exactly what this test drive proved. From Lansing we drove south to Marshall via Interstate 6. GM Lansing Delta Township Assembly plant where the GMC Acadia, Buick Enclave and Chevrolet Traverse are built. During this leg of our drive we felt little feedback from the trailer. Other than slower acceleration, the truck responded as if it had a few hundred pounds in the bed, not the load we guessed was about 3,5. World Harest Game 3. We felt little vertical or horizontal motion feeding back through the trailer or the bed of the F 1. We did experience some slight pushing on tight, slow turns on local roads, although that felt more like what wed typically expect from a trailer of this size and weight. But then things got interesting. We pulled off I 6. Ride. Control sleeve style airbags, we pulled the airlines for a complete and total deflation. What a difference. Unless youve done back to back tow testing with and without the supplemental airbags, its difficult to describe the differences in how a stock half ton pulls a trailer when compared to one with an aftermarket air assist system like this one from Air Lift. Weve seen other new F 1. In the name of full disclosure, we probably had a little too much weight on the back bumper and should have adjusted the load but we were pressed for time. Since we wanted to keep the comparison apples to apples, we did not attempt to make any adjustments. The results were, to say the least, dramatic The rear end dropped almost 6 inches and the ride comfort went into the crapper without the bags. Had it been nighttime our headlights would have pointed to the treetops. Our ride back was a literal pain in the back and neck. Had we not done back to back testing, this type of towing would have felt like what were used to. Every input was magnified our head was tossed a little from those annoying porpoise like motions caused by the trailer tongue pushing and rebounding on the springs. We also experienced some side to side head toss with the road irregularities. In fact, every imperfection in the road was transmitted seemingly amplified through the seat to our lower back and into our neck. Terrible Not on this short ride. It was, however, more fatiguing. We can only imagine what a long distance tow would be like. Of course, just having airbags doesnt guarantee a comfortable and confident ride. The same laws of physics still apply to your truck and trailer combination, and you still must adhere to all of the manufacturers capacity and weight limits. But if you do, were confident youll arrive at your journeys end more comfortable, less weary, and less anxious or irritable. And with your pickup riding more level, its likely to last longer, provide more predictable braking and acceleration, and make your rig just plain safer. Although not complicated and well within the capabilities of a do it yourself driveway warrior, there are some things youll want to know before you install an air suspension. Heres how the install process worked for our new Ford F 1. Air Lift puts everything youll need into the box, from nuts and bolts to zip ties. Its up to you to bring the wrenches and recommended Loctite. Remove the stock jounce bumper, placing it aside for reinstallation later in the process. With great care not to pull or crush any brake lines, install two large U bolts facing outward. Using the U bolts, install the top platform bracket from the kit and reinstall the stock jounce bumper. Build up the airbag sleeve style and bolt it to the bottom bracket. Observe torque ratings closely. Collapse the airbag, drop the bottom bracket over your leaf spring pack, and pop the top of the airbag through the hole in the top bracket. Install the airline fitting as shown. Make sure both brackets are as level and parallel to each other as possible, then push the U bolts up into the bottom bracket. Secure the lock nuts to the bracket bolts and torque properly. Be sure to use the washers that come with the kit. Run airlines from each individual airbag back to a place on the bumper of your choice. Many hide the valves behind the license plate. Last note When cutting the airlines be sure to cut them as squarely as possible as they pop into the fittings without tools. No air compressors or pumps are needed in this installation as the bags are externally inflated via the supplied valve stem, just like a normal tire however, if you want a self contained air supply, an air compressor is optional.
