Ride Rite Air BAgs Installed

GGattorr · 04-18-2008, 04:58 AM

Installed my airbags yesterday. Went great except for a few things that had nothing to do with the airbags.
First, the bags and compressor did notarrive on the same day. (although they left the warehouse together at the same thime)

Second my daughter was using the truck for a month or so while hers was in the shop being repaired from getting hit. While she had it she did a nice thing, took it to the local Tuffy's to change the oil and rotate tires. But they crossthreaded 3 out of 12 lugnuts of which only 2 would break and one spun.
So the second tire would not come off the Titan. Truck is going to local mechanic for new studs today.
Other than that install went smooth as silk. The kit is great and easy to install. I got the compressor kit and mounted it to the side of my Cold Air Intake Box. It's like it was meant to go there. I mounted the gauge in the bezel where the 4 wheel drive selector would go and the mounted the control switch on the prodigy bracket with velcro. Everything looks better than if the factory installed.
Here's some pics

Great job...looks perfect. Good luck with it and let us know how they change how the truck tows.

Very clean install...nice choice for gauge placement, looks like it belongs. Even though I don't tow (yet) I'd love to try these out and see if they improve handleing dramatically.

I love the pressure gauge placement. Who did you purchase the set up from and for how much? I don't have any air tools or special automotive knowledge. is this install as easy as they say?

The installation is very easy, and you don't need air tools. It took me a little over a hours to mount my bags, but finding a spot for the compressor took a little longer than excpected. The spot I had chosen for the gauge and the controls wasn't big enough either. I ended up mounting the controls under the dash center. I can reach them easy, and they don't get in the way. I mounted my compressoer inside the enclosure for my AEM filter.
