Re: Who's running Air Bags with a B&W hitch?
Surprised you haven't got a response on this one yet. I have the Firestone airbags on mine with the B&W. I think they are model #2400. They are mounted directly between the axle and the frame. Initially I ran the filler valves out through the license plate frame, but got tired of dragging my portable airtank along and has since mounted a onboard compressor just in front of the fuel tank and put the gauge and controls in the glovebox. I know some guys have had problems with these bags, I'm wodering how much weight they may have put on them and/or was the install done correctly? I have had no problems at all so far. For me, they make a huge difference, especially in the driveability while towing. Last trip I was kind of in a hurry when hooking up and didn't get enough air in the bags prior to leaving. I usually use a set amount of pounds (65#). Something felt weird, so I asked the wife to open the glovebox and check. Sure enough, only had about 50-55 pounds, she pumped them up to 65# and I could actually feel the difference in how the truck/trailer was driving. Nice to have that capability while running down the road.
