DESCRIPTION
So how long do these airbags last? When installed properly and maintained, they will last as long as any other rubber product on your vehicle. Since the air spring is pliable and can be damaged from rubbing or chafing, it’s very important to keep a good amount of room between the bag and any brackets across the whole range of travel. Any contact the airbag makes will shorten its usable life significantly. It’s also important to keep the airbags inflated enough to maintain their shape even when you aren’t towing. Excessive wear can result if the bag is under or overinflated. Keeping air in the bags also allows the vehicle to be put up on a lift for short periods of time for service. If the vehicle needs to be on a lift for a while, it’s best to unbolt the airbags if they are the limiting suspension component. One final note about the airbags is to be aware of their maximum pressure ratings to avoid premature failures.
Airbag setups, both OEM and aftermarket, have come a long way in design and function. With truck manufacturers jumping on the pneumatic bandwagon, it’s clear we will be towing on clouds of compressed air in the not-so-distant future.
