LA80 AAA Suspension Air Bag Kit for lifted Chev Silverado 1500 and Trail Boss. This is our stuff and we make it and we have it in stock. We send everything same or next day. This is a brand new raised air bag load assist kit to suit the rear of lifted 2020 Onwards Chev Silverado 1500. This kit has the triple bags and suits lifted base model Silverado as well as factory Trail Boss – Trail Boss comes standard with a lift. If your Silverado is a standard height non-Trailboss option, &#######xA0;please see our other listing. A very simple fitment – remove the bump stop and secure the top bracket with the old bump stop bolt. The lower bracket clamps to the axle. No drilling or cutting. We hear stories every day how people have fitted super heavy leaf springs but they still sag with a big load&#######xA0;on the back. And then it bucks like a mule when unloaded. With bags just add more air until you reach the height you want in the back no matter how heavy. In fact it’s cheaper just to get bags instead of heavy springs and keep that soft ride feeling. You would expect them to be able to do that but they sag big time when the tow ball is loaded up. That’s the price we pay for having a nice comfy ride when unloaded. Our AAA Air bag kit will solve that. We receive happy calls from customers who say when the tow the excavator to a job site the rig now sits perfect. Note, our kits are still suitable even if your vehicle has a 2 lift. &#####x200B;&#####x200B;&#####x200B;&#####x200B;&#####x200B;&#####x200B;&#####x200B. The team at AAA Suspension are suspension&#######xA0;specialists and have been looking after customers with air suspension needs since the 90’s. We are a&#######xA0;family owned business based in Melbourne and pride ourselves for excellent product knowledge, great service and a top Aussie made product. We make all of our brackets here in Melbourne and use local businesses to supply and laser cut our steel. Even&#######xA0;our local powder coater uses Australian powder. Air Assist Australia – AAA Suspension. AAA load assist air bag kits&#######xA0;replace the bump stops and sit between the chassis and axle to assist with carrying heavy loads. Just add more air until you reach the ride height you want no matter how heavy your load. And when you dont have a load just let the air out of the bags and you are back to having&#######xA0;soft suspension and a comfortable ride. If you get&#######xA0;heavy springs you cant go back to soft when unloaded and most people find their heavy springs are still not heavy enough anyway. If you see yourself in this predicament then you really should consider air spings to assist your old suspension. Here are&#######xA0;just a few examples.. Slide on campers – heavy when the camper is on but light when the camper is off. People towing vans and&#######xA0;trailers need air springs when they are towing but their factory suspension is ideal when they are not. Contractors cart fuel, water or firewood and they get heavily&#######xA0;loaded but light when empty. Tradies cart different tools and equipment to different jobs. &#####x200B;&#####x200B;&#####x200B;&#####x200B;&#####x200B;&#####x200B;&#####x200B;With air spings a. Ll of these guys&#######xA0;can change the load capacity of their suspension to suit their needs. &#####x200B;&#####x200B;&#####x200B;&#####x200B;&#####x200B;&#####x200B;&#####x200B;Make towing safer by loading more weight to the front of the van or trailer and just pump up the bags a bit to handle the bit of extra weight on the draw bar. When fitting these bags you are not changing&#######xA0;your old suspension nor&#######xA0;increasing your GVM allowances. When carrying a load the typical pressure range is 25psi to 50psi. The good thing about air bags is just keep adding more air until. You reach your desired ride height and comfort no matter the. You can’t hurt the bags because they can go to over. 1000 psi but here we are only talking the sorts of pressures you. Would run in your tyres. Speaking of tyres the air in your bags. Behaves the same as the air in your tyres. If you have 60 psi in your tyres and they still sag then lets face it you are over loaded. Keep things safe by not going over 60 psi in the air bags and a good rule of thumb when loaded is what ever you have in your tyres – put the same&#######xA0;in your air bags. &#####x200B;&#####x200B;&#####x200B;&#####x200B;&#####x200B;&#####x200B;&#####x200B;They are rated to still be effective with up to 2.5t over the back axle which in most cases is way more than you should be carrying and just goes to show the bags are up for what ever you throw at them. Some air bag kits like those that go inside coils&#######xA0;can only offer 450 Kg which is nothing on these. You can not hurt these air bags. There is no maximum pressure because even industrial compressors can not reach the lofty heights of 800 to 1000 psi where these were made. Sticks, stones and sand will not hurt them. The rubber in these bags is heavier than the rubber in your tyres – we have people who live on cattle stations and have horrid corrugated gibber roads and they never have issues. There is no rubbing parts and they will not wear out. They can see out your car’s useful life no matter the age or distance. &#######xA0;&#####x200B;&#####x200B;&#####x200B;&#####x200B;&#####x200B;&#####x200B;&#####x200B. The&#######xA0;Air Bags replace and become your new bump stop. Even if you have no air in them the bag compresses and the sidewalls are such that you still have a rubber bump stop. But why not cushion the bump stop even when unloaded with a bit of air. It is like a pillow effect when you cushion your bump stop. The end&#######xA0;plates in our AAA kits are still an inch apart on full compression so they do not strike each other. As such we dont need internal bump stops. It’s ok to run these flat. Here’s where AAA Suspension lead the way and beat the other brands… AAA brackets are 100% made in Australia. Other brands make their brackets overseas and not only is that unaustralian but when they run out they can run out for months. It also means they can’t customise brackets for customers with custom fabricating needs. AAA has been approved and&#######xA0;licensed to use the Made in Australia logo. AAA have a massive 4WD knowledge base and their kits do not fall short. Some other brands claim to suit 2 lift when they barely reach standard height. At AAA&#######xA0;we offer height options and can even taylor make custom kits. AAA kits use heavier steel components. The end plates are 6mm steel rather than 5mm and we dont make do with C channel like others but instead use 3mm RHS where possible for added strength. And heavier steel means we crank up the welder and get deeper stronger welds. The manufacture and design of AAA kits is guided by automotive engineers who not only specify materials and designs but specify where and how to weld so as not to compromise the integrity of the steel. The others clearly got that wrong as they weld across the arms instead of length ways. In most cases simple stuff that make a big difference. Others use imperial 1/4 air line and NPT threads whereas AAA use metric 6mm and BSP threads… Means parts are readilly replaceable anywhere if needed while on a big trip. &#####x200B;&#####x200B;&#####x200B;&#####x200B;&#####x200B;&#####x200B;&#####x200B;AAA air fittings come pre-fitted to end plates with high pressure gas sealant. AAA kits come with an extra meter of air line over others. And its high flex, super strong and meets all the safety standards. Every bolt&#######xA0;is hi tensile grade 8 so they wont break. AAA kits can be run flat and still the end plates will not strike each other. You still have a cushioned bump stop and you dont chew the bags out from the inside. AAA Load Assist Kits include everything needed to fit and be operational. 2 Air Bags with alloy rings. Top and Bottom mounting plates using 6mm plate steel. 6 metres of 6mm poly urethane air line. Push to connect fittings in end plates using larger 1/4 BSP threads to the 6mm air line. 2 x one-piece tyre valves for inflation and deflation – one per bag. Working diagram and instructions. These bags will not be&#######xA0;harmed by over stretching them. They clamp to the end plates and the worst thing you could do is pull the bag away from the clamp so just undo them, reposition and do them up again. But we can make sure you get the right length brackets and bags so your shocks prevent over stretching. You can protect your investment with this kit – when you upgrade your vehicle in almost all cases you can keep your old bags and just get a new set of AAA brackets to suit the new rig. It takes a lot to hurt AAA bags like getting caught in a fence or having a&#######xA0;fire. In almost every kit there is no drilling cutting or welding required. These kits just bolt in using your suspension mounts and either use the old bump stop mounts or clamp onto the chassis. Just a normal socket set is all you need by way of tools and anyone can do it in about an hour – you dont even need a hoist. We have a web site that has a bunch more pictures and videos demonstrating our manufacturing methods, &#######xA0;some “How To”&#######xA0; videos showing how to set up your bags, solve problems and what’s involved with fitting. We also offer&#######xA0;in cab kit upgrades so you can pump up your bags from within your car even while driving. All in cab kits are digital with up/down per pag and no air lines inside the car. Entry level is a budget In Cab kit with&#######xA0;a small compressor ideal for bags. Our Big Daddy In Cab kit has a large compressor and tyre inflation hose as it’s great for&#######xA0;pumping tyres or running a tank. &#####x200B;&#####x200B;&#####x200B;&#####x200B;&#####x200B;&#####x200B;&#####x200B;&#####x200B;&#####x200B;&#####x200B;&#####x200B;&#####x200B;&#####x200B;&#####x200B.
