air suspension '94 JGC
 

Hi all. I currently carry a motorcycle off the back of my Jeep. That amount
of weight suspended a few feet off the rear bumper really compresses the rear
springs. I was thinking of adding an air lift to level out the ride. Does
anyone have any experience with these things? I saw an airlift 1000 on
truckspring.com for $70. It seems like a cheap solution, but if anyone has
any experience/recommendations, I would appreciate hearing about it.

Thanks in advance.

The bladder was for the coil springs in the Grand. Was this the manufacturer
you used? It seems like a decent product, but I wouldn't mind hearing some
testimonials.

Don't remember. I got it at a local truck store J&I trailer hitch and both
truck and box are long gone. Biggest pain was it had no airpump and had
to use a small air tank to air up if there wasn't a local gas station.
