HOW DO TOWING KITS WORK?

Towkits are generally installed wrong by Installers and cause a rough ride.

Customers have the idea that if they add an Air Spring that it will ride smoother.   It will NOT ride smoother unless you follow the procedure below:

Airsprings take the place of your overload springs, so this means that YOU MUST REMOVE OVERLOADS !!  In many cases, you will want to remove an additonal leaf, or even 2 or 3.  Leave at least a minimum of 3 leafs on your spring.for fullsize trucks, or 2 for mini trucks.  Generally, Dually kits are mounted outside the Frame Rails (between the frame and the tire, and there is not enough room for a larger bags in most cases.  In this case, you can  specify a BUMPSTOP REPLACEMENT TOWING KIT.  It will mount inboard and allow you to use a larger bag.  You will need to weld the brackets in place.

If you add Air Springs and do not remove your spring pack, your vehicle will ride ROUGHER, not Smoother because all you are doing is building extra pressure on the spring to lift.             Before buying, measure the maximum space you have available and always order the largest bag you c an fit without rubbing.  Most Competitor's kits come with a one size fits all #2500 6.25" diameter bag.  This is wrong.  The larger the diameter, the smooooother...  the ride.  a #2600 bag requires 7.25" in the clear.  A #3800 bag requires 8.50" in the clear.
