What would be the going price installed on my ford 2014 f250 4x4 diesel extra cab 6.5 bed?

It will all depend on the type of air bag you want, and the systems capabilities.

I have about as simple of setup as you can get. I bolted my helper bags to the leaf spring, and drilled and bolted the upper bracked to my frame. So I have a helper bag, that didn't get rid of anything from the factory on my truck. I ran my valves to just inside the bedside, right by the tailgate easily. These are simple tire valves that I have to manuall air up when I want to tow. When I'm done, I deflate back to 20lbs of PSI for best ride performance. My system was cheap, under $230 shipped to my door, and I installed it.

Now, if you want a system that takes the place of your shock absorbers, and has an onboard compressor with a guage to see the psi in the bags, and to have that intalled, will run you substantially more. My guess is upwards near $500-$750 for the system, and another $500 or so for installation.

Your results may vary, and you won't know for sure, until you shop around.

I'll love to go bags on all four wheels to make it ride great

$3,395.00

The Dodge Ram may be the best truck for the job, but it may not be the best riding truck on the road. Why not make it both? With a Kelderman 4-Link Rear Air Suspension System, you not only improve your carrying capacity, but your ride loaded or unloaded. You can control the air pressure in the durable Firestone air bags included in every Kelderman product from inside the cab to adjust the pressure to compensate for a heavy load or a better ride unloaded. It’s easier than changing the air pressure in your tires; you don’t even need to get out!

With an optional self-leveling air control system, your truck will never sag again. You can load a trailer full of equipment and as soon as you jump in the truck, the suspension will automatically adjust the air pressure in the suspension to make it return to “ride height”. You can work harder with Kelderman 4-link kits that remove the entire, existing stock suspension and replace it with all new, highly tested, Kelderman components. Trading in leaf springs for a 4-Link air suspension will trade in your leaf springs for a suspension that rides entirely on air. If you want to get your job done right, the Kelderman 4-Link Rear Air Suspension System is the right place to start.

What has automobile airbags have to do with pontoons? This should be moved to off topic section.

Well, technically, it's in the General Pontoon & Deckboat Discussion, which in this case, is regarding pulling one of these, I'd imagine.

Off topic, on this board, is more for things that are not related to boats, and pulling or towing of said boats at all.

It would be nice to have a "towing" section though, maybe....

YES ladygt I do use that truck to pull my Pontoon so sorry to have UPSET you.

I just want to go the cheap route "basic air bags" that I can air up as needed with my little compressor.

I am not upset. In my mind, improving your ride doesn't fall into the "pontoon boat" category. Now if the airbags were on your boat trailer ...

Using was uncalled for. I was not rude to you.

Here's the best deal out there for adjustable ride air bags: http://www.suspensionconnection.com/573 ... rings.html

These are similar to what I put on my f-150 a couple of years ago and they've performed very well for me. It's pretty much the same thing that GXPWeasel described, but without the drilling.

Here's a pic right after install:

I just felt you came on strong like I was robbing the bank, for asking a question about air bags on my truck that i use to pull my pontoon to the lake

I bought mine from AutoAnything, AirLift with the remote control pump on sale for $325.00 with a $100 rebate, last spring. If you are 1/2 mechanical, you can install it yourself. Or if you live close to me, I'll help! For about 10 30 packs of BudLight! Should last a week or two!


Maybe she was thinking of Accident Deployment air bags. That was the first thing that came to my mind when I saw the post. Actually, no, I was thinking boobs....

I also feel it belongs in off topic. Kinda like my toon is in a slip and need advice on which vehicle is best to get me there.

You must be kidding I have to use my truck to get the toon the lake.

Thank you.

People just think differently depending on how the post was worded.

your welcome

I put a set of AirRide's on my F250 diesel truck to level up my bumper when I hook up to my fifth wheel trailer with a 2000 lb. pin weight. They were about $250.

The installation was simple, however reading the instruction booklet on assembling each airbag was like reading German. I went on UTube.com and they had a video of how to install my exact airbags.

Since I seldom use the bags, I'm carrying a Harbor Freight air tank that'll pump the airbags and one tire up.

With a few pounds of pressure in the air bags, I like the slightly firmer rear end, and it seems to make the truck steer, handle and stop better when it's level.
