Air Helper Bags with lowering springs

NORCAL SS · 01-18-2011, 10:04 PM

Rear belltech springs with the air helper bags installed. Totally different part number and works like a charm. You can load up the rear 600 pounds put 25 lbs in the bags and the truck still rides great. This is for the belltech drop springs only

Hey Tony

.....

Put me down for a set. Heck.... I wish I had a set installed right now with all of the crap I have loaded up in my rig. I'm heading to Joe's as soon as I'm done typing here!!! When I get back from Laughlin I'll do a drive by, and we can throw a set in my rig

you got it and its like $85 bucks for the kit on amazon and ill just slap it in. You can also use these on stock springs for those who load up their ssr.

I have a set similar to that in my El Camino. I keep 5psi in them when unladen, and more for a load. They work great.

yup and also on the ssr I did in rear measures 27.75 from ground to fenderlip with the modified springs I have and rides and drives great that is a 4 inch drop from stock

Good to see you again, my friend.

Those look a lot like the Air Ride set that I installed in my truck 4 years ago...... only mine are a little dirtier. If so, I'll vouch for their ability to keep the SSR level whsen carrying a load.

I had to install them when I put the Eibachs in my truck, because I occasionally (

) carry a couple hundred pounds of crap in the back and had to get the truck back up to level.

The process is simple...... I measured the rear wheel well height empty and then after loading, put enough air in to get it back up to that spot.

The only drawback I have seen is that they tend to get a little noisy after a couple years.

Simple to install.

ive been using these bags on the springs since 1999 when i was lowering the first 00 up tahoes with them then I started on the tbs in late 01 and late 02 when i lowered my first ssr with the belltechs i used them but at that time they didnt have the part number as they do now which is only 6 inches extended.

the new part numbers they have now are shorter but thicker walls to carry more loads
