What size is an airbag?
With an average inflated pressure of around 60psi, the diameter of a 2500lb bag is usually only 5.5 to 6 inches. A 2500lb double convoluted bag is good to use when space is limited and or a large lift amount is not necessary.
How do you measure Hendrickson ride height?
1. measure the distance from the top of the axle to the mounting surface of the suspension (Figure 3). 2. Add half of the axle diameter to this measurement to determine your suspension’s ride height.
How do you know if your car has airbags?
The airbag indicator light can clue you in on airbag system trouble. Turn the ignition key to the first position, and pause there. This is the indicator light test position. You should see all the indicator lights turn on, including the airbag light.
How does a front axle air bag work?
Here is a picture of our front axle air bag with parabolic springs, kit comes with a pressure gauge and valve dial to adjust air pressure, improved road handling and less pressure does give some ride help and drop tyre pressure some as well. Kit comes with mounting/fitting plates, air bags, gauge, valve to adjust air pressure, air lines, bolts etc.

How is ride height measured on a car?
Ride height is defined as the vertical distance from the center of the drive axle hub to the underside of the frame rail (see Figure 1 below). It is measured forward of the axle, but not forward of the suspension bracket, on single-axle suspensions, and at the centerline of tandem-axle suspen- sions (as shown in Figure 1).
How much air is in the front bags?
I am running 15 lbs in the rear bags just enough to keep the truck setting at the right height. I installed a manual valve in the cab to change the air pressure in the back bags. i used to run about 40 lbs. in the brockway’s lift axle. The right diameter bag will change the air pressure needed in the front.
