Re: how do i know what air ride system i have?

Thats should an F9000 and i had the same thing happen to me. What pressure are you runnig? I will ge getting rid of those bags real soon and replacing them with slam bags so they will handle the high psi. looks like you could easily replace those sleeve bags with normal ones as long as you have clearance on the other side too. most the kits that come with that bag is because of clearance. I think their only like 5'' dia. Mine came with them because the exhaust is supposed to run pretty close to the bags but i changed that. If you can clear a 6'' bag on both sides you shold throw in some HE6 bags from slam specialties. If you dont have the money for that then the replacement to what you have is only about 60 bucks.

It is a sleeve style bag, it looks like a Fire Stone or EasyStreet

Fire Stone


EasyStreet



If I had to guess your air setup is an AirLift kit w/FireStone bags. You will need to know what size ports you have. If you take off the bag and look at the top you might find info on the bag, it might tell you what kind of bag, port size, and how much it will lift along with the pressure it can handle.

Your port should be 1/4 NPT which would measure about 1/2 inch on a ruler. As far as i know the F9000 only comes in a 1/4'' port.

Here's where i would get one if mine broke, if not ebay.

Forbidden Motorsports

Slam, Check out that Dominator bag. I just saw it and its a 600psi but only has one port. only 65 bucks though.

You should take it off and take a look just to be sure. It's not doing you any good being on there any way. Are you driving it with only one rear bag?

That's kind of cool I don't like the one port, but other than that it's a good deal.
