More infoThis is a brand-new airbag load assist kit to suit the rear of the following vehicles:
- Chevrolet Silverado 1500 RWD (2WD) – 2006 to 2013
This top brackets clamp to the chassis and the lower bracket sits under the U-bolts – this means there is no drilling or welding.
The car we used to develop this kit was lowered and a 2010 2WD model. The kit will also work on standard height.
By selecting an “In-Cab Kit”, you will also be supplied with all the gear required to control the air in your bags from the inside of your vehicle, and you can option for us to supply a compressor for you too if you do not already have one installed. Pair your large in-cab kit with one of our air tanks if you wish to increase the capacity of your onboard air system.
The AAA leaf assist air bag kit replaces your bump stops and effectively becomes a bump stop conversion that can help you carry a load. When unloaded you want some air in the bags (10-15 psi) so you have some cushion or softness in the new bump stop effect. Then as you load up just add more air – what ever it takes to keep the vehicle level. The AAA kit is rated at 2.5t so that’s the bags being capable of lifting 2.5t of additional weight over the rear axle. Your real limit is your GVM and what’s safe and sensible, but know the bags are up for what ever your load might be.
The rubber in the bags is heavier than the rubber in the sidewalls of your tyres so they last for ever, seeing there is no rubbing or moving parts as such. AAA kits come with a 10-year new for old warranty on all bags, brackets, airlines and valves.
