I installed a set on my 2004 GMC Yukon and it made a world of difference in towing my travel trailer. I removed the springs and it was still a pain to install. Now that I have my 22 FX4 with the 4K and I tow a max weight travel trailer, I'm going to install the same kit on mine this weekend. I'm glad to see it is possible to do without disassembling the rear control arms. I was dreading that part. I will attempt to use a vacuum pump to pull most of the air out and then attempt to squeeze the air bags in.
You can route the fill value to any place you want. I have mine set up so that I can have different pressures in each bag, so i have 2 valves, and i wanted a convenient and intuitive location for each valve if I need to fill manually. I also have the Wireless Air kit from AirLift, that I haven't had the time to install yet, but that will allow me to control the bag pressure remotely with my phone app or with their controller. Most people will probably keep the bags at the same pressure and only need 1 fill valve, and it's easier to find a convenient and intuitive location for 1 valve than it is for 2.
Not that I noticed. That was a concern of mine too. You have to keep at least 5psi in the bags, so I was concerned that it might be a bit stiffer unloaded, but I couldn't tell the difference. Once I loaded it up with the all the stuff I keep in my bed and on my rack, I ended up with 17psi to get the ride height back. (I haul a lot around. LOL)

That is perfect. But, isn’t better if you put the fill valve inside the cubby in the bed?

GREAT VIDEO!!!!
Thanks!
Did these bags affect the ride when unloaded?
