Are you tired of truck sag, sway and bottoming out? Say goodbye to these issues with Pacbrake's ALPHA HD PRO! These air bags/air helper springs (with Jounce Bumpers/Bump Stops) come with 1 - inch - thick corrosion - resistant end caps and 20 support wires, ensuring ultimate strength and durability.
This kit has a bouncy polyurethane bumper inside the bag to prevent damages from bottoming out. It's perfect for those who want an internal bumper for peace of mind and enjoy a comfortable ride without air when not towing.
Customers can now choose to buy a Pacbrake air suspension kit with or without an in - bag bump stop.
Why Pacbrake added a bump stop to their bags
Peace of mind. Customers want a bump stop to avoid bottoming out due to loss of air bag pressure, a rare event that could damage the air bags or the truck frame. Think of it as an 'insurance policy' against bottoming out.
An added benefit is that you can run these air bags at 0 psi when unloaded for a super - comfortable ride.
Are bump stops necessary?
No! For those who need maximum travel in their air bags, like raising and lowering the rear end to pick up trailers or boats, or for off - roading, air bags without bump stops are recommended. Consider the HP10194 ALPHA HD air bag.

Using this air suspension kit is straightforward. First, make sure your vehicle is one of the compatible models - 2011 - 2016 Ford F - 250 & F - 350 with 2 - Wheel Drive or 2011 - 2014 Ford F - 450 with 2 - Wheel Drive. It's suitable for trucks with 5th wheel hitches but not for commercial cab and chassis trucks, and works for both gas and diesel engines. When installing, it should take about 4 hours. The kit comes with corrosion - resistant end caps and support wires for long - lasting use. If you choose the kit with a bump stop, it gives you peace of mind by preventing bottoming out. You can even run the air bags at 0 psi when the truck is unloaded for a more comfortable ride. However, if you need maximum travel in the air bags, like for hooking up trailers or going off - road, consider the option without a bump stop. Always remember not to exceed the manufacturer's recommended Gross Vehicle Weight Rating. For maintenance, just keep an eye on the air bags and end caps for any signs of wear or damage over time.
