So far So Good.

Just pulled a 27ft RV in a 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 and the bags did their job - kept from my truck sinking. I just put them on but so far, so good. Lets see how long they last. 5 stars for now.

Used with a Compressor

I purchased this air bag kit along with a compressor, and the experience has been fantastic. After installation, I can adjust the air pressure from inside the cab, which is incredibly convenient. I've driven several hundred miles on the highway with a trailer, and everything has been working flawlessly.
