1998.5 2500 24 V can you guys recommend a rear Air Bag kit for towing/hauling?

[Joe.G]

Hi, I am looking to add an air bag kit to the rear for when we are towing or hauling in the bed. What kits have you guys used and liked? I see the Firestone kit the instruction say to remover wheel well liner but it is not clear if I can put it back after the install which I like them in.

Any compressor recommendations if I decide to do the on board compressor.

Would a portable aux type compressor work if I don't want to wire it to the truck?

Pros/Cons? Thanks

I put Air Lift 5000’s in my power wagon and have been beating the hell out of them for 6+ years without an issue. They sell a few different onboard air kits which i wouldnt shy away from at all, just didnt wanna spend the money at the time. A portable air compressor will work just fine filling the bags up with the supplied valves.

Heard good reviews about the Timber Grove bags too.

I did a write up on the powerwagonregistry long ago….

Airlifter 5000 Ultimate airbags w/ Daystar cradles '14+ - Power Wagon Registry

However, its a different setup than yours as you have leaf springs.

Timber Grove doesn't appear to make them for older trucks.

They may not. Ive never even looked into them, just read good things about them.
