Looks like they are rated for 10 psi more than the Airlift 1000HD

Looks similar to airlift systems. I personally don’t like push lock air fittings. The spring in them can corrode and weaken over time letting your airline pop out.

After installing my bags I can’t imangine having to do it while dealing with those selves

I did my non HD Airlift bag install while changing the rear springs for a two inch rear drop spring set. Only took about 45 mins to unbolt 6 bolts to allow for the spring removal. That includes jacking the truck up for jack stand support. The un-collapsed airbags are a simple slip fit to the springs with this kind a spring access available. Don’t think I’d do it any other way having done it this way once. Easy peasy.

I was able to do the 1000HD's easily without removing the springs. Did a write up. Involved wheels off and using trailer electric tongue Jack to lift rear both sides off the ground first.

I installed mine pretty easily without removing springs also. Granted mine were the red bags so maybe they're a little more flexible but I lifted the rear end real high with the help of a sturdy log until the springs were fully extended and the axle was dangling. I was able to slide them in without any issue by just following the instructions and using the hot dog method.

I am thinking about ordering the same bags for my 2018 ram for help with towing our travel trailer. Any pics and install info would be great. Anyone already have these on there truck?The 1000hd's not the airbagman.

I was pretty close to pulling the trigger on a set of bags, springs and an auto leveler with an on-board compressor. After pulling a 33' Wildcat travel trailer 3/4 of the way across the US I don't think my truck needs it. However, it is a 2500 diesel so your mileage may vary.
