Awesome the company sent a free replacement. There are some good guys out there still. I need a set for our minivan and never thought about squeezing the air out and sliding in the side. Good call!
Great video! I put these in my 2013 Ram 1500 and pulled our 23’ camper trailer over 100,000 miles around country with them. They worked great and were still working when I sold the truck! I don’t think I ever needed more than 20 psi when towing with the camper and around 10 to 15 psi without the camper and all my tools in the bed of the truck.
Thanks for helping me to decide which helper bags to purchase. Best video on these bags I've found. My daily driver has an extra 750Lb of weight due to a huge subwoofer C-pillar wall reinforced with 2x4's and steel to support the 4 15" subwoofers and I think this is just what I need to to give me a smoother ride. Thanks.
Something I learned the hard way, back when air shocks were the hot ticket. Using dual Schrader valves makes it easier to dial in spring rates when you don't have money for adjustable spring rates, it works great as a substitute. Using them on a larger 4x4, if you're hauling something with weight more on one side it'll help level your load. It'll also make your off road ride more stable.
Cool, you made it more simple, watched 3 videos about previously and still had questions. And for that little special detail im buying them from airlift. Thanks.
I've always had great luck with the Monroe air shocks myself!! They bolt right into your factory shock location and have a 100psi max rating and a lot of travel and are less than $100!! I've used them on many projects over the years and never had a problem with them, you also can get the extra air line from any parts store in the form of manual oil gauge line, same stuff and can even be plumbed to a tank and small 12v compressor as well as being able to use a small ball valve!! Look into them, I've used them on all 4 corners of an ole Chevy Luv and worked great, not super fast but plenty fast enough!!
I’m not a fan of air shocks myself, not bad for maybe a chevy Luv you throw a 350 in the bed of, but the amount of vehicles I’ve towed home this last year in my opinion you can’t beat these.
Oh I'm definitely a fan of the lift bags as well!! Just on a budget I've had great luck with the Monroe air shocks for a quick, cheap, and easy solution!! Luv your build and just finished watching the complete build series and liked every single video!! Your great at fabrication!! I think you're selling yourself a bit cheap!! I think you did a great job on this project build and that's something I don't see in many of the builds I've seen!!
Your definitely going to go far with the great content and your cool attitude as well as doing all the extra work to get it to suit your style!! It's all about the little details!! Imo that's what really makes a great build really shine!! This build is completely perfect imo!! FIRE!!
Great video. Thanks for sharing. Gonna put these on my 02 GMC Yukon XL Denali. I am trying to get it to be able to tow my toy hauler. 1140 pound tongue weight.
Very nice video and informative, but I think your springs are generous on the lack of number of coils and how far they pull apart. This is a bit of a chore to get the folded bag in between the coils of the springs in a Suburban. I have run these for years, but one of the bags began to leak at the seam, had to replace that one, the best way is to just use a box cutter and cut in in half. I agree with the fellow that 20lbs seems to be about the most I ever needed for my 23ft Jayco.
Iv had some in my 01 Tahoe for quite a few years, just had a seam split. Can’t complain, I’ve “used” them 🤣🤣. Pretty tough getting them in with close spaced coils though.
i found this in search of solutions for my VW Atlas sagging whenever I put something in the rear. Due to me having the aftermarket tow hitch the clearance in the back is very low....any additional lowering due to load causing scraping issues. Safety and performance is paramount and if a new one of these has a crack imagine a failure on the road. If the bag is holding up the vehicle and it suddenly gives out or even gradually; the load will be much worse being lopsided. I guess I'd have to pull over and remove the other bag and be low the rest of the trip. Factory bags or even aftermarket kits are expensive because they use tested and heavy duty bags. Seeing that crack is a huge issue.
Lookin better an better each video ! Thumbs Up man ! I noticed at the end with the camera angle. Looking at the roof line at where your logo on the wall is. Kindof gives it the effect of it having a sun visor deflector on it. Kinda looks old school cool. Have you thought of a visor ?? Just a thought.... Looks great either way !
What is the ride like. I want to increase the ride height from time to time on the back for off road terrain. I can lift the back of the car up when it's sat stationary. Will this lift and can I leave them empty when not in use. Do they chaff on the spring?
Putting air lines on same Schrader valve, when in curves,more air pressure one side and go to the other. Could cause a vehicle swapping back-and-forth. Believe me it ain’t fun on the expressway.
@@PuddinsFabShop thank a lot Good news, thank you. I took two hours to ride it on my Toyota FJ, but because I don't know much about it, I inflated them to 15 psi, but I will inflate them to 35 psi.
if it dropped 2 PSI over 14 hrs that's something to worry about I have the same Air Bags in my 4WD set to 15 PSI for normal driving and 25 to 30 when I'm loaded up with camping gear and it takes months for it to drop 1 or 2 PSI I do have zip ties around the barb on the airbag and the Schrader valve.
The instructions say to install the helper bags with the air stem facing downwards do I have to for my vehicle it would work better to run the airlines up with Air stem facing upwards
Technically speaking it would but I believe the coil spring is stronger then air favoring one side. Especially with the rear sway bar. My trucks in full air ride with the rear on a t with no issues and they are the only spring.
@@PuddinsFabShop I guess if you have had no trouble thats all that matters,I was thinking just a one way valve in one line would prevent it.Rear sway bar will for sure help.enjoying the build,I have driven a rodded L110 binder for 25 years.
They have a calculator on their website to help you figure out what size to order. You just have to take a couple measurements on your springs, input those and it will recommend which one to use.
Don't feel like the lone ranger! I ordered a power steering unit from E-Bay and when I got it, it didn't work and when I tried to contact the seller, they had already taken the unit off of E-Bay, And I couldn't get my money back.

Best install video I’ve seen for these helper bags.
Thanks Sean👊🏻

These or the black ones I also got a ram I use to tow my teuck around alot and it sags so bad 😂

They will help! Since I’ve towed with my Travelall probably 5-6 times since it’s been on the road these things have been perfect.
@@PuddinsFabShop Nice. Thanks for all the info. Peace.
Hey, thanks for that man, you make it look easy. OK I’m gonna put some on my rear off my pathfinder. Thank you.
That's good when they stand being the product nice work

How do you set up this dual shrader valve idea?
@@mydearrileyone valve to each bag instead of using a tee
Cool, you made it more simple, watched 3 videos about previously and still had questions. And for that little special detail im buying them from airlift. Thanks.
never realized it was that simple. thanks for sharing this.
I've used Air Lift products many times....great people. Should work great!
Yes sir!
Enjoyed the video. The whole series of the travelall has been great!
Nice instructional video, reminds me of installing air shocks.
I about put footballs back there 😂😂
Hot dam it's baby puddin man you look different looking to replace my air bags on my yukon and came across your video haha
Airlift has great customer service!!!

Yes sir!
Great teachings to simplify that install
You make it look easy.
These were easy!
Nice job explaining the process if you're having trouble with the a part. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing
Thanks for following!!!
Thank you . Just bought these for my crown Vic
Hell ya!
great video, looking forward for the finish build.
Thanks for watching!
That jack looks very safe!
Getting closer.
Like RatRodBob says, we're gittin thar we just aren't thar yet.
Thanks for the update. 👍👍
Thanks for watching!
My privilege. 👍👍
Keep them coming!
I have Airlift on my 14 Sierra for towing and love them.
I’ve had good luck with these.
Good video...putting mine on my Jeep Wrangler. Great fab work man. Looks clean and straight!!!
Genuine question, why? Did it work well?
Awesome video 🎉
Great video. Thanks for sharing. Gonna put these on my 02 GMC Yukon XL Denali. I am trying to get it to be able to tow my toy hauler. 1140 pound tongue weight.
I use it for different loads I put my filling nobs on my listen plate so it right there holding my plate and easy to get
Thanks great video. Oh and I noticed at around 2:37 you dropped one of your tattoos.
Great video
Keep up the great work 👍

Nice color too😂
U do a great job
Use separate air lines for air springs and it would be stiffer in rotation, could eliminate rear sway bar for better traction and ride!
Totally awesome
👍😎👍...... it won't be much longer (relative to day 1). great progress
I’m getting there!

A lot of people run them on Internationals, I myself ain’t a huge fan. I noticed yesterday the colors of the Travelall and sign are pretty close!
You just pushed the air line over the barb fitting with no clamp correct?
Does that make the car more smooth on road or just help lifting!!
So after 3 years how are they doing?
Thanks.
Thanks for this! Sucks that they had a leak in them.
What about the springs rubbing a hole in the bag as they flex? Great video bud!
I've never seen it happen. They've been around for years
What is the ride like. I want to increase the ride height from time to time on the back for off road terrain. I can lift the back of the car up when it's sat stationary. Will this lift and can I leave them empty when not in use. Do they chaff on the spring?
I put some on my sorento and it squeaks now? Any ideas?
me and my grandfather had a pretty difficult time installing these in a 4th gen 6.7 dodge
They do a good job once installed.
Nice work
👍👍from this guy
👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻👍🏻
Thinking about putting helper bags on my 2005 GMC van because it does need some help in the back end what do you think about using these bags
how long did it take start to finish??
Thank you. Great video. That would be impossible, then you get the shot lol
Putting air lines on same Schrader valve, when in curves,more air pressure one side and go to the other. Could cause a vehicle swapping back-and-forth. Believe me it ain’t fun on the expressway.
Could I use them with 1979 c20 rear trailing arms with springs thks
Nice ❤
Is that airbags remain for long time ? Or every year should change its ?
They last. No issues so far.
@@PuddinsFabShop thank a lot

They are great. Been a life saver with all the towing I’ve done this year
Nice.

Whatever works best for you is what I would do.
with a t fitting,wont it push the air from one bag to another on a hard corner giveing you lift on lighter side

I like the sound of that!
Are they lasting for you
So far! Only had to use them a few times tho. I’ll be using them Monday when I use the Travelall to go drag a truck home!
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
👍
My Air Lift bags are only 8" in length. So therefore it's to stiff to fold like a hot dog and I have less space between the coils for insertion.
What’s the model number that you have?
Can anyone tell me how tall these things get when blown up? Thanks!
They have a calculator on their website to help you figure out what size to order. You just have to take a couple measurements on your springs, input those and it will recommend which one to use.
i have the same bag set up i have put 50 psi to them before but i normally have 35-40 plus 8700 pound trailer when i tow
That’s what I’m talking about!!
No issues at 50 psi?
👍✔

Don't feel like the lone ranger! I ordered a power steering unit from E-Bay and when I got it, it didn't work and when I tried to contact the seller, they had already taken the unit off of E-Bay, And I couldn't get my money back.
Your undercarriage looks slick.
Swag
they're junk?
I’ve used this piss out of them and love em.
I make the same mistake. Test first. Then install.
👍
