Excursion rear air bags....

I would like to add air bags to my excursion. Is there a kit specifically for our excursions? I assume its not that hard to install...where are the most common places for the tank and compressor? Can you run other things off of the compressor? (air horns) If this has been discussed before excuse my repost....others on here have wondered too.

Re: Excursion rear air bags....

I assume its not that hard to install...where are the most common places for the tank and compressor? Some install Tank & Compressor on the frame behind the transfer case, or on frame behind running boards, Compressors under hood where one battery is currently by moving both batteries to one side.

Can you run other things off of the compressor? (air horns)
Depends on the compressor, but usually they will handle most accessories.

If this has been discussed before excuse my repost....others on here have wondered too. Try a search in the Superduty Forums too, many posts & photos on many different installs. Good Stuff!

Re: Excursion rear air bags....

Here is a link to a system I had on my 02

Bags with surge tank

I did not have a compressor but the surge tank did help with the bounce some have had with bags.

Do some reading the info is here
