Helper bag (helpers) discussion thread

[KAL]

Complete kits includes air springs, brackets, air lines and mounting hardware.


fuck, I wish I would have seen that...half the price of my kit

That's what I was thinking. I've seen a similar kits going for over 300 bucks. So it did show everything?

read thru the thread, what's everyone's take on slamair kits? with any bag kit, is it better to keep some air in the bags even when you're not hauling anything?

[Jared]

It's more expensive than the others...so why bother?

 

[doyouquaxu]

msrp on their site isn't what other people sell it for. jeggs & summit have the kit for $295 among other places

 

[Jared]

I'd still get the other set posted. I have MCG helpers

 

[doyouquaxu]

lulZ i can't fucking read. thought the McG's kit comes with a rear flip kit. says the kit needs to be used w/ a flip kit. drunk shopping ftw!

now what makes the mcg's kit better? only advantage i see is the mcg kit can work with their notch, but i don't need one for a 7" rear drop on my nnbs.

 

[Jared]

I don't think the kit is better...I went with it because of my notch.

 

[jayballz]

Those airlift kits, thats the exact kit I have. I like them enough.

 

[KAL]

Ok just got off the phone with Stlyintrucks the kit I said earlier is just for one air bag. :down:

 

[Jared]

I just use a little air comp that plugs into cig lighter (has psi gauge on comp)

Could I use 3/8 SS line or would that be to big? Only reason I ask is cause I can get the line and fittings fo free.

 

[Jared]

I guess you could, is it braided (flex) or solid? If solid you will need a tube bender. And getting in the cab would be a royal pain and dumb.

 

[Gannon]

Ye it's solid, but I've been bending tubing for about 8 years now, like to think I'm good at it. :turborofl: I have benders and cutters. Thought about just running the SS line under the bed and use a union once I get in the cab. Just wasn't sure if that size line was over kill or not. Can get braided, it's just we have 100's of feet laying out behind our office.

 

[Jared]

steel wouldn't be a bad idea under the bed. As long as you do it right there won't be any problems, the diameter I can't speak on. But I have seen guys run SS for their air lines on bagged setups.
