Correct Frame to Suspension Clearance for the Air Bags from the Air Lift Ride Control Kit # AL59561

Question:

Im attempting to install a 59561 kit on a 2013 4x4 4 door Tacoma. the bags included with this kit seem to be to tall PN 58482. it looks to me that it would raise the truck if installed as instructed. FYI, I have installed air lift airbags on two other vehicles previously with great success.

I have some information that will help us determine if the air bags included with the Air Lift Ride Control Helper Springs, # AL59561, will work for you, however, we have not received any complaints of these air bags being too tall or causing fit issues. I also spoke with my contact at Air Lift and they have not received any complaints either. The air bag part # 58482 is the correct air bag for the Air Lift Ride Control kit # AL59561.

To determine if these air bags will fit, without raising the truck above the normal ride height, you will want to mount the upper and lower brackets in place. The distance between the upper and lower brackets should be no shorter than 4 inches. If you have less than 4 inches between the upper and lower bracket, let me know and I can explore further options.

If you have more than 4 inches, then the air bags should not raise the truck from normal ride height when they are inflated.
