Same here. Also didn't feel the rear roll as much going around a corner. It was worth every penny!

I love mine... I put it on a couple of months ago, and notice the difference daily, but really notice it when I'm towing which is why I got it in the first place. :) I have a 21ft trailer that is around 4,900lbs loaded up with all our stuff, and it sagged pretty good before. Still drops the rear end, but not outside of what I would consider normal.

I have the 7-pin harness on mine, so I just drilled a hole in that bracket and was able to get my air valve there, so it is accessible without having to go under the car at all. Makes it easier to add/release air before and after every trip.

Question fellas.....
  • Price: $?
    Ease of install?
    Rear only? (duh?)
My biggest issue is difficulty of install.. I mean jeez, I can drill holes and run all the lines with my eyes closed.. But whats the bag made of? Am I dropping springs to get this in? Or are you sneaking it in somehow... also, whats that 1/2" "filler" peice doing? Is it just a harder material for the bag to rest on?

Price: $? Somewhere around $85 I think. I did mine at the same time as a pair or Rancho 9000s for the rear, and was out $249 shipped for the whole thing.

Ease of install? Easy as long as you jack up the back end (not sure if you could even do it without doing that). Just squeeze the air out of the bag, put the cap back on the top to hold it in that shape, and squeeze between 2 coils of the spring. Once it is in there, just take the cap off and shape it to it's natural shape. Then it's time to run the lines etc. No biggie at all.

Rear only? (duh?) - Yep...

also, whats that 1/2" "filler" peice doing? Is it just a harder material for the bag to rest on? It seems to basically be a protector for the valve on top of the bag. Once the bag is in, that will sit on top of the bag around the valve.

Hope this helps...

Here's what I got. Like I said, no regrets. I only run about 7lb of air when I'm not towing as it makes the rear a little to "bouncy" for me if I go much higher, but it does help out alot when I have the trailer hooked up.

I dont think it really matters. They are like a universal thing for more then just pathfinders also. So it shouldnt matter.

I installed mine a couple days ago. Put 10psi in and when I checked the the pressure today, I was at 9psi. Are you suppose to lose some pressure? All my fitting are good.
