Airlift generally discloses that they won’t increase your GVWR and stay within your limits.
A lot of trucks suspension sags more than ideal when towing or hauling heavy, even when you are within your limits. It’s a trade off between ride quality.
My F-450 has 4” of rake (ass is 4” higher than nose) and with my fifth wheel it squats down to 1” above level. But my fifth wheel tongue weight is only like 3500lbs and my payload is 4800 – so it’s entirely possible if I fully loaded the thing I would be below level and that’s just not safe.
That advertisement looks funny though – it looks like the frame is broken just in-front of the wheels because the angle changed. And the truck being on an uphill adds to the effect. That truck looks to be a dually, so I doubt they need a bigger truck for that trailer.
Pfft terrible marketing strategy. You can’t tell an American they don’t ‘need’ a bigger truck!
I consider myself not the brightest light bulb…but looking at that picture it seems the mount is behind the axle…not centered. That might be what’s wrong.
Sweet, guess my S10 can pull a 5er!
Agreed that the ad is deceiving but I have a pair of Air Lifts that have been on both my Excursions and are still doing a great job of leveling out my rig which is still weight compliant. The Hensley adds stability as the Excursions can be a little squirrelly towing
Yeah, that’s not a squat problem. It’s either a bad photoshop or a major structural failure.
If you’re adding airbags, you’re probably overloading your truck and should reconsider.
They got the mega cab short bed dully that’s the main problem lol.
