Ordered Airlift 1000 for the Path...

Ordered Airlift 1000 today for my birthday present. Looking forward to get it installed as I've heard nothing but great reviews from those who use them. I'll let you know how the install goes. Cheers!

Just make sure not to over inflate. After 4 years mine are still good.

Got the Airlift today and installed this afternoon. Very easy installation. The time consuming part is figuring out where you wan to route the lines and locate the valve stems. I ended up putting the valves on the lower lip of the bumper on either side of the tow hitch. Filled them up to 35psi and lowered the vehicle. Will check for pressure loss in the morning. Haven't gone for a test drive yet.

I installed mine in 2008. They are still in great shape, no issues.

Funny this guy with a Pathfinder gets his coffee at the same place as I do in the am and just today I noticed his Pathy was jacked up quite a bit in the rear so I asked "New air bags!?" ..why yes! I have them really pumped up right now I just have not figured out what pressure I want to run them at?

[00pathySE]

What pressure do you guys run them at unloaded?

[disallow]

25psi

35 loaded

I run mine at 13 psi all the time, but I don't do any towing with my 2006.

I tried it out today at 14psi. What a difference, really happy with them-no surprise to you guys I'm sure. Makes me want to keep going and do the shocks and struts too.

I'm kind of wondering about how I routed the Airline on the passenger side. I wanted to keep it away from the muffler and tail pipe so i put over the frame rail where the rear coolant lines run for the rear heat. The air line runs right on top of those lines. So far so good, but I wonder if will be too hot?

For me it depends on my deliveries for the week as to what I put my bags set at. If I am delivering cases of paper at 55 lbs per case and I stuff 8-10 cases in my Pathy then I will run about 16 psi but normally 12-13 psi. I once stuffed a 900 lb copier trade in the back instead of driving 2 hrs to go get the company big box truck. I just went and pumped up the bags to like 18 psi and also set my tires at 40 for the trip home. it was impressive how good the Pathfinder did under load. If you carry lots of stuff in the back its a good idea to have some ply wood on your floor to protect it that's what I use with a few cut outs so I can use the floor tie down points.

By the way you want to talk about snow traction try driving threw a two foot snowstorm with (8) 55 lb cases of paper in the back! Talk about a tank!
