[Clipper Joe]

Hi All,

I Would Like Some Info On Air Lift Bags For Rear Of 1977 Dodge Clipper. I Have 2 Types, I Have Been Looking into.  One Is Firestone & Air Lift 5000

Has Anyone Installed These Type, I Have A Large Gas Tank There Is Not A lot Of Space @ Rear Area For Bags.

Thanks,
Joe

Hey Bulldog,
Went With The Firestone Model # 2109 Ride Rite Air Helper Spring Kit 1977-03 Dodge.
Great Aftermarket Kit, No Drilling Limited Lifetime Warranty Not Cheap About $337.00.

It Took About 4 Hrs. Most Work Removing Wheels & Torqueing After. I Did Pass Side First, A little Harder Than Driver Side Do To Tank & Shock. I Did Driver Side Super Fast. I Guess It Is Always Easier After You Have Did One First
I Ran Hose To Inside Rear Wheel Well, & Added Fill Units. Put Protective Sleeve On Hoses to Protect & Used Rubber Clamps  & Tie Wraps To Secure Inside Of Wheel Well. The Kit Has Tie Wraps Supplied..

They Worked Great, I Put About 60 Psi On Pass. & 65 Psi On Driver Side Do To extra  Wt. Of  Water Tanks, will Fine Adjust After Boat Is Hooked Up.
I Think I May Add One More Leaf Springs To Help A Bit More. Plenty Of U-Bolt Left..


Thanks For Reply.
