Airlift Air Bags

I'm thinking of installing air bags on my 2005 Dodge 3500 truck. The main reason is for a smoother ride and to keep it from bottoming out on rough roads. Camping world will install AirLift Air Springs for a resonable price. Has anyone had any experience with this brand of air bags? If so, I would like to hear from you. The price is about the same for Firestone Ride Rite air bags.

All about the same, and like you said Camping World installs them.
Both brands will work great for you.

I have Firestone bags and installed them myself. They level up the truck and fifth wheel trailer. They work great.

I like Bob also have the Firestone's on my Dodge 3500 SRW that i installed myself and they made a big difference in the ride plus leveling the 5th wheel.

The installation is so very simple on a Dodge that you should just buy them on eBay for a price that is about 1/3 less than anywhere else and install them yourself. You'll save $200. I can almost guarantee it. Air Lift are very good but so are the Firestones. The price is about the same. The last set of Air Lifts I had lasted me 12 years before I felt I had to replace the bags (they are cheapest on Amazon.

I am very happy with the Firestone Ride-Rite. Easy to install, took about an hour and half for me. I had a better ride, and a level rig on the road.
I highly recommend the air helper springs. But remember, they are helpers, they don't increase the TV's ratings
