Air Bag Question?

thornton weldin · 02-08-2009, 07:43 PM

I need to put a set of firestone airbags on my new C&C to handle the extra weight. my question is........ it looks like the air bags would mount to a C&C in the same place as a regular dually pickup (in place of the bumpstops). I looked at riderite.com and cant figure out which part number i need. Is a C&C considered a ram 3500 HD?? If so the part number shows the airbag mounting outside of the frame (minimum clearance 8" btwn tire and frame ) instead of between the bumpstop and axle. Any of you guys that have airbags, could you help me out? I need to order a set ASAP. Thanks!!!!

I used air lift bags for both my C&C and Reg 3500. The mounting points are exactly the same and the brackets are also the same but the C&C air bags are shorter by a couple of inches than the Reg 3500 (the frame is straight on the C&C). For Air Lift kits the C&C is a different part number. If you have a 3500 C&C do yourself a favor and take the overloads out after you put your bags on. C&C trucks hit the overloads quicker than regular trucks. Your truck will ride much better because when you hit bumps the bags can absorb all of the bumps instead of 1" then hit the overloads.
