Not mine but guy on FB gen 3 group used these
I have been running this setup all summer with my Gen 3 towing our TT...works good...but Airlift is about 2 months out from a production air bag setup for Gen 3 raptors that will not lose off road capability. I have been working with them on this design. Going to be awesome. Stay tuned.

Life is about compromises, getting to drive a raptor and having to add airbags seems like a minor compromise to me. Granted, if you send it on the regular, you'll probably trash a bag now and then.

Gen 3 brakes are much better than previous. I don't know what changes they made or if my Gen 2 was messed up from new, but it's night and day. No reason you shouldn't be able to haul to max rating and a little over and be safe.

I spoke to airlift today. Sounds like they're looking for a truck to test fit the product which means between that and production, I'd have to guess we're a ways out.

But...glad someone is making these for our rigs.

I had the air lift inside coil bags with the small onboard compressor on a previous truck (Ram 1500). They worked great! Kept them aired down for daily commuting, then just aired them up, right before a load of lumber was dropped into the bed or a trailer was hooked up.
I would get them for my Gen 3. I tow a trailer from time to time. Sometimes at night. You will blind every driver from a mile away, if you tow ANYTHING at night with these trucks!
That said, they will give a slightly stiffer ride, even aired down to, say, 5 psi. These trucks are so soft, tho, I’m not sure how much you will even notice.

How is the universal working for the gen 3?
I’ve not yet installed it, just received yesterday. Only $110 from Amazon. No intention to tow anytime in the near future, due to its ****** weather. Had a credit so just got it. I’m going to change the flexible hose to stainless tubing, so I need to order tube and fittings before I install the kit.
