Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I originally purchased the air lift 5000 or my 2017 ram 1500 crew cab, but I did not realize I have to make permanent changes to my frame to put them on. I didn't feel comfortable doing that to a truck with 200 miles. I returned those and purchased these so I could tow my 31ft travel trailer with a tongue weight of 640lbs. I also carry 200lbs of weight in the bed when we go camping. Shipping was fast and all items arrived in good condition. I read a lot of reviews for the install and they were mixed on how to install the bags. I like most don't have a lift to put the truck in the air, but I found that there is no need to use a lift. installation: The first thing I did was remove the rear fender liners, there are about 9 screws and the liners come right out. I then took my wheel chocks and chocked the front wheels. The I took my 3 ton jack, and () 1ft piece of 4x4 and (2) 1ft piece of 2x4, but you can use whatever you have available. I stacked all 3 on top of each other and used the jack to lift the rear by the hitch. I lifted the rear all the way up right before the tires were about to come off the ground. I placed my jack stands under the truck fro safety. I compressed the first bag so it was flat and tried to install from under the rear, but couldn't get the bag to go in. I then attempted to go from the top and was able to slide the bag in and pull the cap off in less than 30 seconds. After installing both bags I connected the tubing to the first bag and ram the tubing through the frame to the tow hitch. I did this for both bags and installed the T behind the hitch running the last line to one of the holes that face out from the hitch towards the rear of the truck. TIP: when putting the hoses on the nipples of the bags and T use a little silicone spray so the hose will slide on easier. Also if you have a long bed truck you will need to get more hose. The kit comes with enough to do a 6 foot bed, I have 14 inches left over after the install. I aired the bags up to 35psi like the instructions say and let it sit for 3 days and the bags were at 33psi. I drove the vehicle 40 miles and went back to check the psi and still at 33. I have left the 33 psi in it for a week and let the truck sit there and it has only dropped 1 psi and that from me checking it 4 times I think. I purchased the Viar 88p air pump with these air bags and everything works great. Total install time from start to finish doing this by myself was less than 2 hours. I hoped this review helps.
