Does anyone know if the air lifts that have the bags that go into the coil springs actually lift the truck or if they just reduce sagging with heavy loads?

I am not 100% sure but I think it just reduces the sagging and ups the load limit. I might be wrong tho.

You can get an inch or so going to Gen 2 coils, I believe, if you have a Gen 1.
Third times a charm.

Does anyone know if the air lifts that have the bags that go into the coil springs actually lift the truck or if they just reduce sagging with heavy loads? I put them in my gen 1 like 6 yrs ago. They just recently split died... Gonna get some replacements. mine came with some rubber pucks approx 1 1/2 inch thick. I think this was for another application. but in my truck even with the front cranked I could easlier raise the rear 3 inches or more. So with the pucks yes they will raise it. I think you need to get the pucks separetly.

Torsion bar crank will get you ~2" which also means a slightly stiffer front suspension and less articulation than when left stock. That said its a VERY effective way to do a front end suspension lift. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
