I have a leaky airbag so I ordered a set of Jim K's Silvertone airbags. Sorry Quadrabager but I like the idea of the OEM style.

Anyway I have one installed and at set height the airbag appears to be extended to max. According to Firestone the design length of this airbag (not including the extension for our application) is 9-10.5". Its sitting at 12.3" right now.

The max jounce lenght is 14.7", but I think thats unloaded height.

Compairing the cone from the uninstalled bag, its completely unrolled at this point. At my set height the distance between the bogie airbag arms is 14.75" and the extensions on the airbags are 2.625"

Does this sound right? If so I don't think I can raise it manually any higher than what it is now.

I called Applied but I guess Jim took one saturday off! Shocked

Any ideas?
