Helper Bags
Seems like a lot of the rear helper bags remove the bumpstop and go in place of it. Not a huge fan of this. Air Lift offers one that has the bumpstop built into the inside of the bag, seems like a good idea if it's engineered right and not just a gimmick. Most of the others recommend running with some pressure inside the bags, which will hurt unloaded ride quality, but the internal bumpstop ones can be run with no pressure.
Does anyone run rear bags on their tow rig either with or without the internal bumpers? I get that anytime you're loaded down enough to likely be hitting the bumpstop you'll likely have the bags inflated anyway, but stuff happens. And Michigan roads are garbage, so a bumpstop would be nice for running deflated. Just trying to decide if it's worth the extra cost for the internal bumpstops or if it's just a marketing tool. I like the mounting setup of the Firestones better too, and it's cheaper, but they don't offer the bumpstop like Air Lift. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IX0CQDS...v_ov_lig_dp_it |
