Is it a Problem that the Lower Brackets of the Air Lift Load Lifter 7500 are Sharp
Question:
Just had the Air Lift 7500 bags installed replaced the 5000s and Im not thrilled with the way the lower brackets have 4 sharp corners on each side that are what sits on the axle tube. Seems like over time this might damage the axle tube and that the design isnt ideal to support the weight of the truck on the air bags. Might need to take them off and grind off that corner, but shouldnt have to do that if they were better designed.

Helpful Expert Reply:
I would agree that's it's odd the corners are sharp, but we've not had any issues with the # AL57595 installed in trucks like your 2006 Dodge Ram and since the bracket doesn't move on the axle it would not wear it down over time. You would be fine as-is without having to smooth out the brackets.
