Anyone have their jounce bumper strike plate break off? I installed the air bags about a year ago. Noticed the U-bolt was loose. When I went under to investigate, the strike plate was laying there wedged between the axel and air bag bottom plate. I love the air bags but I believe I need some kind of spacer to secure the bags. Any help would be appreciated.

There is a hard brake line that is hitting the driver side airbag at the front. i'm not sure how to remedy this. i've emailed and called a few times and can't get a reply.

You could have gone a bit slower on the video, explained things just a little better.

Are the kit for the f350 & e350 the same ?

[@devinpringle3801]

They are not the same application kit number, but there are kits for the e-series on the site!

[@billystray7007]

@devinpringle3801 a friend of mine, has a kit for a super duty pickup hanging around for free to me if it fit a same year E350..oh well

I second that I just struggled for 7 hours to do a install. Bad dark pictures with little detail. Videos left many details. I am a ASE 40 year mechanic and it still was a challenge

Awesome video. Would love to have a sponsor from your company to our channel. Would advertise your product and video to our subscriber base. Otherwise than that, thanks for the awesome content you delivered!

Be better if it came with a small on board compressor and wire it to one of the AUX switches in the cab.

[@AirLiftCompany]

You can certainly get an onboard compressor system, which varies from simple gauge to fully digital. And while you can package them together, not everyone wants a compressor, and prefers to fill up the air at the gas station: www.airliftcompany.com/products/compressor-systems/

​@AirLiftCompany I keep a battery powered air compressor on hand for fillups. Milwaukee makes an M8 that works great.
