The only ones I have experience with are the Firestone Ride-Rite bags with incab control. I had them on two trucks and was very pleased with them. Besides helping to level the ride of the truck, you can adjust the ride on the fly while going down the road, helping to soften the bounching/chucking motions.

mont, I have the CW Air lift brand with in cab control and undercab mounted compressor. Works fine for me. You could probably find a better deal on the Firestones though. Strange story: I pulled into a Firestone dealer in California and asked about the bags. The manager said they could not install them because of liability, but they could have ordered them for me. Go Figure!!!!

I had the Firestone air bags and loved them, Goggle them, and check the different sites for the best price. I had them installed, but if you are handy, you can do it.
Have a good one.

I have the Firestones, without the onboard adjustments for now though. I would like to be able to fine tune going down the road, so this will probably be a spring mod for me. My taxman gave me the green light to put money into my truck this year (work write-off)...gotta like that guy...

I have the Air Lift digital system on my truck. The controller is only a tad bigger than a pack of cigarettes and it connects with CAT 5 cable, so you have NO air lines running inside the cab. For what it's worth, Air Lift uses the Firestone bags on their lift systems.

I had mine installed at CW during one of their free installation deals for Presidents Club members.

Mine is connected with the standard DB15 15 pin serial connector common to older computer systems.
