New long travel removable air bags from CJC Off Road

[sduncan]

These were released last week. It’s a set if removable airbags for 2500s and Power Wagons. (I asked them, measured my OEM suspension and sent them the measurements. They said all good.)
It’s a chunk of money for the kit, but it looks very well made and the benefits of being able to remove the bags when not needed is awesome. I’ll have a set soon.
I added a link k to them below.

I run long travel on my 3500 and they work great. I am not sure of the difference but have not had a bad product from CJC

Ingenuous but pricey.

I like the concept. But $1600 is crazy for that setup.

what's the difference between the cjc set up and the daystar cradles?

Looks like the big difference is that you can slide out the airbag and slide in a bump-stop. There also appears to be a quick-connect block for the airbags.

Looks like they are saying you lose too much uptravel with the bag plus cradle. I had bags with a 2” spacer plus cradle with 4” deavers on my prior truck and had way more uptravel than I could use when bags were aired down. Pretty limited number of people will need this setup I think.

I have the Carli R2 springs in the rear with airbags and Daystar cradles. I vacuum the airbags up to keep them from "slapping". I also off-road pretty heavily and have never hit where the bump-stop would be.
Although I like the clever-ness of the product, the cost will keep me with my setup for now.

Pretty cool but expensive.

I've got bags and Daystar cradles on my PW and when I don't need them I just remove the valve from the filler fittings. Lets the bag fully compress if needed.

I was thinking the same.. I've done quite a bit offloading and never had an issue. I guess I'll keep my bags and daystars.

How do you vacuum the airbags up?

How do you vacuum the airbags up?

I have the valves mounted as my license plate bolts. When I am done towing, I have an Amazon hand vacuum that I use to collapse the bags. Copap 16PCS Brake Bleeder & Vacuum Pump Test Tuner Tool Kit Hand Held Vacuum Gauge for Car & Truck https://a.co/d/dPwNH3j

That sucks.

 

[Wobly]

That sucks.

Technically, yes, it does.
