The Airlift compressor that I have has a Dual outlet for filling each bag and controlling the Pressures needed.

Yes, have them on my 2020 to handle my Four Wheel camper. This is what I used. Pretty easy install. You will wind up discarding most of the mounting hardware and will need to drill and tap a hole where your bump stop is/was.

No extra parts needed. I ran the airlines to the licensee plate holes. Basically take out the screws holding the plate on, drill larger holes and mount them on the same side as to where the air bag is.

Air Lift 89289 Load Lifter 5000 Ultimate Plus.

Daystar, Air Bag Cradle designed for full suspension travel, Fits All 6"


Why do you use the Daystar cradles vs attaching the bags at the bottom as shown in the AirLift 5000 install video?

The bags will limit droop travel...or get torn/damaged when the suspension is fully drooped. I wanna say my bags have roughly 2 or 3” of space between the cradles and the bottom of the bag when the axle is hanging...

I would want to run separate lines simply because off camber and off road situations.

Thanks for the response. Great reason.
