Review on 🚚 Daystar Air Bag Cradle: Optimal Suspension Travel Design for 6" Diameter Convoluted Air Bags, Perfect Fit for Full Size/Half Ton Trucks - KU09140BK, Made in USA (Black) by Adam Rogers

Works great with Firestone RideRite Bags "Red Label " / 2017 Ram 3500

my 2017 Ram 3500 4WD SRW diesel truck. (Firestone Kit #2705) I drive my truck on trails and across country quite a bit, and I knew I needed them the moment I discovered they existed. The airbags stretch and severely limit the mobility of the rear axle and increase the risk of damage to the airbags. Installation for my setup was quick and easy. He deflated the bags and unscrewed the U-bolt that held the bottom bracket to the axle. Then I loosened a screw that attaches the bottom of the airbag to the mounting plate. The airbags pushed aside. I then bolted the Daystar stand to the mounting plate with the nut and bolt provided, and then screwed that plate back to the axle with the U-bolt. It took about 20 minutes to install both legs using just a 9/16" wrench and 9/16" socket. The extra cradle is thick and with the recommended 5psi in the bag, it raises the back of the truck about 5/8 inch when unloaded. This is how I keep my pockets emptied when I'm not towing or towing. Rear axle articulation while retaining the airbag system is the best of both worlds. Very happy with it so far and will be updated after about a year of use.

Pros
  • Fits most vehicles with 6" bellows airbags
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors
