Review on Enhance Your Vehicle's Stability with Air Lift 59533 Ride Control by Scoony Taker

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Works great but I have a leak

My 2016 Colorado has an RSI SMARTCAP with an AluRack on a rope to carry two Hobie kayaks. I also have 4 heavy tool boxes in the back of the bed. I took a 3,000 mile vacation and knew I needed to upgrade the suspension. I added these Airlift airbags, they greatly improved my ride and got the truck back. The only problem is that the side pocket on the passenger side is leaking. During my travels, I stocked my bag once or twice a day with a small Ryobi 18v portable compressor. I figured it was a tube that wasn't inserted properly into the valve and I would reach it when I got home. At home I jacked up the truck and sprayed all the fittings with soapy water, no leaks, then I molded the whole line, still nothing. Finally, I removed the AirLift airbag and submerged the entire assembly, loaded at just 15psi, in a bucket of water. I've found that the leak is coming from under the top metal plate and we're bubbling up the outside of the brass where the valve screws screw in. Called Airlift today but according to the record there was a technical problem, will call again later. Didn't see the emails on their site or chat. I hope to come through soon and see how they handle it. Leaks aside, I really like her.
