Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Installation was fairly easy, but took a little more than an hour. (I have installed various 4x4 lifts and complete suspensions systems on my vehicles) FYI - It is easiest to just jack the vehicle up from the frame to slide these between the frame and leaf spring. No squeaking or any sounds for that matter that I heard were issues. Only thing I see on my particular setup (Tacoma 2002 Double Cab PreRunner) is that the right Air Lift bottom bracket hits the rear shock (forward mounting) when the vehicle is under flex. My die grinder will fix that shortly.
So, they work great, and I have no regrets. Only issue is it is a bit of a pain to get them adjusted properly without the extra $200 + compressor system. Manually adjusting the air springs is a hit and miss, since there are variations of amount of air needed from side to side.
Also, if you plan to carry dirt bikes, like I do, think about this:
You pump the rear up with cargo (bikes and equipment) in the bed... when you empty the cargo, you now have a jacked up rear. (like over 4 inches on my little truck!) Now, load up your cargo with your 7 foot ramp, and see how easy it is...
Lowering the rear to reload cargo, then leaves you without the needed air. Hence the need for either that nifty on board $$$ compressor system, or access to compressed air. (not readily avail in the woods)
So, would I purchase again? Yes, but plan on spending $400 - plus bucks to do it right. I wasn't planning on that!
