I just picked up the aircell ones just to try them out...cost me under $130 online from advanceauto with a $50 off coupon code. Figured what the hell at that price, if I don't like them I'm not that much into them price wise. Hopefully I'll be able to try them out this weekend hauling up a truck for my brother-in-law. I'll let you guys know what I think.

I saw the air cell ones can't imagine them being much different.

My timbrens work great btw

What size skid? When I was pulling one around all winter it was a JD 332 and it weighed 9200lbs plus the deck over was 4k.

My brother-in-law got this Chevy, the bed, and a bunch of other stuff for free from a guy he's bought trucks off before. So I helped him haul it home today. I didn't really get a chance to see how the Air Cells work since the truck didn't squat low enough for them to rest on the axle lol.

Definitely keep us posted. I am really interested to see how they work.

Hauled this thing yesterday. 7500 GMC top kick. Not sure what it weighed but it was heavy. Blew an intercooler clamp in half just out of town. Then it kept derating me for over boost. Looks like I'll be cleaning up my turbo soon.

I sure will. I might make another spacer out of some steel plate to get them a little closer to the axle.

The air cells don't come with a spacer to adjust it ?

They do but mine still sit too high, maybe cause my truck doesn't have the stock rear springs? I've seen pics of other brand trucks with them installed and they sit lower then they do on mine :shrug: I think when I hit bumps though that they did hit the axle, it felt slightly more cushioned then when I towed before. Or it was just all in my head LOL

763 Bobcat. The site said 5300 for it and 5800 for the mini ex.

Right now mine is set to touch all the time. Ride really isn't that bad. The ride is most affected by having 65 psi in the rear tires but the tpms won't let me go lower than that
