Anyone try the AirLyft air bags?

Install doesn't look bad at all

They must’ve just put those up on the website. Checked last night and weren’t there yet.

Anyone with experience know if these limit up travel at zero psi?

It doesn't look like they will limit up travel. It looks like the air springs and cradle are separate, so they shouldn't limit movement.

So does this replace the factory rubber bump stop? Not listed on their website as a product for the Gen3 Raptor.

Yes the red bag within the coils rated for 1000 pounds.

On a side note, I now inflate to 27 psi before hooking up the trailer based on info provided by others that it is recommended to pre-inflate before loading per Airlift. However, I've noticed no benefit over hooking up before inflating to 27 psi.

I just posted this in the other thread about Eibach springs. But I will ask you here since you actually installed the air bags. Does your air bags when inflated, touch the top and bottom of the springs? I just installed Geiser rear springs. With the Eibach's, the rear was sagging with just the 600 pound camper. But with the Geiser is appears to be taller in the rear now more so than when it was bone stock. And when I look inside the compressed rear spring, the height of the cavity is way more taller than the red Airlift bags.

After ordering the red 1000 bags, and then the 2500 pound Ram 250 black bags (long enough but to skinny for the springs), I just ordered the 88414 from Airlift. My only concern is that this kit is made for sock height, but my Geisser springs have added 1.5"s to the rear. Hope this kit is a straight forward install.

Did you end up receiving or installing yet? I just ordered the same kit along with the wireless one compressor system.

Yes I installed the 5000 kit. It was super easy. Lifted the rear end very easily with just 30 psi. And I found a nice spot for the dual valves. But I ended up ordering the Wireless one as well. I will install that after NY. But I am going to leave the manual inflate valves where they are just in case the air pump fails. I have the bags too high on the photo but you can see that it does its job.

Nice! Have you noticed any difference in ride quality? I bought mainly to keep me level when towing my snowmachine trailer, and when the bed is loaded up for camp.

Wondering if it will negatively affect unloaded off road performance etc.

I knew going into that the “Raptor” ride was going to be gone. But I still get the luxury of a raptor and looks as well.
But since I have not driven it without the camper on, I have no idea. But with the camper on, it is way better without it. The front “pops” down hard when I hit a speed bump as the rear weight makes the rear end drop faster.
