Daystar Airbag Cradles

It sure why I didn't know about these sooner or why they don't include them in airbag kits. Best $60 I've spent!

I agree, they are glorious! Worth every penny.

Before these it felt like I was riding on the bump stops. I got my factory ride back!

I have been wanting to get this setup for a while now. I have the carli pintop 2.5" kit with full leaf upgrade and have not been impressed thus far. I believe it is because of the way my bags are set up.

I wanted to rip my bags off because of the ****ty ride. After I did the cups, night and day difference. I'm just a Carli coil and stock leafs

So this comes with everything I would need?

How exactly does that make the ride better? I'm completely lost on that aspect of it.

Basically the bags act as limiting straps, they only travel so much.

I've never installed a set before so excuse me if I sound dumb.

So the bags are attached a both ends and this basically raises the attachment points so they're closer together. Therefore the bag has more room to expand over a bump?

Typically the bags are attached at both the spring and the frame. The cradles allow the spring end to float and when not needed they can be empty of air so the suspension can move unrestricted. When in typical installation mode, air is always required to be in the bags so they can't over stretch when crossing ditches or lifting the vehicle on a hoist. This extra air in the bags also increases spring rate which might not be needed or wanted when empty.

Is there a down side to running cradles?

None that I know of. Unless you want to restrict travel.

Thanks for the explanation. Í didnt realize. Í need these in my life

Just curious what keeps the bag from bouncing out of cradle since it's not attached on that end?

I have had these on for years
no downside IME
and no more working on my truck and freaking out when you realize you forgot to unbolt the bags and the weight of the axle is hanging from them LOL

 

[Vader's Fury]
