Installing AG130 Leaf springs with the 12 gauge Air Ride | Sitting Way Too Low!

[@abrahammadera6505]

That w9 looks bad ass that lowered stance looks awesome 👌 and the peterbilt looks bad to the bone. Keep them coming. Thanks God bless.

[@originalrecordsllc438]

Nice bro👏 you made me get same truck though it's a complete project truck w900 going to take my time and also start a channel! Ty for the motivation.

[@CustomRigs]

Thanks! 🙌 goodluck with the project!

[@juanavila1611]

Awesome bro thanks!!! Waiting for this video cannot wait to do this on my 389.

[@Bagnum05]

I would definitely have you guys do my air ride 👍 👌

[@kymofungi2986]

I do always watch and admire your repair skills though

[@charlesferebee263]

Unfortunately. That bumper wouldn't last 10 minutes over here on the East Coast. The roads are way too rough. It might be alright with more air in the bags though. 🤔 Good luck with your project 👍

[@CustomRigs]

Definitely need to raise it up some for comfort.. but it’s got some good clearance when fully aired up.

[@cristianrico8575]

A lift bumper would help with that

[@jcrewcustomz]

SICK BUILD BRO!

[@Modded_Rigs_Custom]

It's okay, how it fits👍

[@gtmotorsports937]

I think those springs are longer than the 379. I have a short hood 379 and want to run those leafs you just added but I’m not sure they will fit. Love your videos! Thanks for all you do to show the mods you do.

[@CustomRigs]

Thanks! Yeah they are longer than 379 leafs you’ll also need to move the brackets. 389 Pete is only the one that would be direct swap.

[@gtmotorsports937]

@@CustomRigs I’m going to go out in the morning and see if I’ll be able to add the longer springs. I think that big U shaped saddle will be in the way. I might be able to move it.

[@CustomRigs]

@@gtmotorsports937 I Definitely seen it done on 379 just don’t know what they do with the hood mount on the frame.

[@junaidbhatti2453]

@@gtmotorsports937 i have these springs in my standard hood 379.move the rear bracket to where your hood guide/belly strap bolts on .drill two bottom holes.

[@gtmotorsports937]

@@junaidbhatti2453 I did do some measuring and even asked a few guys in one of the Peterbilt forums about removing the belly strap. I’ll be ordering the parts soon. Thanks for the confirmation!

[@surfranger1]

Cool Vid.... dont ever use nyloc nuts, as they dont stay tight. It is the plastic that jams on the threads. Best is use hardened lock nuts.All suspension work i do here , always use hardened lock nuts. Never anymore dramas. Lucky over there you can get front air suspension . Over here we have no option for Ag130 in Kenworth trucks.

[@johndelarosa3277]

I have the old type hangers and want to update to the newer style hangers. Can you use the same shackles or do I need a different type shackle?

[@davis004ld]

Hey I watch your progress on the W9 air ride would like to know the part number for the shackles?

[@Ruslan__Korchak_77]

Привет Артем. Работу проделали не малую. Кеша пльівет на дороге. Удачи в работе.

[@37903abc]

I saw something like this in Baker Or. a blue one. Beautifully mean classy KW.

[@kymofungi2986]

Must have smooth roads there because that bumper would be toast in a day in North Dakota Minnesota

[@CustomRigs]

Definitely need to raise couple inches, but it’s got good clearance when fully aired up.

[@timdalbec5990]

Do you have to change out the bushings and pins? Great build 👍

[@DARKTROPICAN]

Question isn't the ag130 the same as a volvo spring..there's this place in allentown pa..when I imput that number on the leaf spring is says its a volvo spring.

[@CustomRigs]

No completely different.. ag130 is the suspension type. Leaf springs are different part number. shopforsuspension.com/products/59-748

[@mikesystem01]

Do you have the eyelet to center pin measurement ?

[@kw535075]

Going to need a bumper flip kit 🤔

[@CustomRigs]

I think so lol..

[@RuslanDavydov96]

Hey so how did you guys end up the front of the leaf spring pin in? Doing ag130 on mine right now having the same exact issue

[@CustomRigs]

@@RuslanDavydov96 had to cut about 2” of leaf on the curve

[@Dubya9W9]

You got the 8 bag Ag 400 rear? i found when i adjusted the rear it removed a whole lot of steering wandering..was planning on changing my Front shocks ( 12 gauge ) so what's the solution if you strip it? have to buy a whole new plate?! idk why they didn't just provide bolts that go thru like the top...

[@CustomRigs]

Yeah ag400. Lots of the wandering went away after I adjusted my drives too. I just installed a 6 degree caster shim and it rides great now really straight down the road. I’m going to be drilling out the stripped bolts and putting my own grade 8 bolts.

[@Dubya9W9]

@@CustomRigs Was the only solution that popped in my head...unless you want to buy the plates each time you Do shocks lmao..They could have made it better..imo...shim helped? hmm going to have to try it

[@CustomRigs]

@@Dubya9W9 yeah apparently after talking to a alignment guy he said these trucks really like max positive caster.. he was right shim did really good

[@Dubya9W9]

@@CustomRigs Man...Finding good Alignment shops or people that know/care is challenging!!! I appreciate the Info!!

[@mikesystem01]

Is that the factory rear hangers ?

[@alexbello8053]

If you can't control the height from the Cab , everything will be fine, but I think that if it's not like that, the Bumper doesn't have much left.....

[@CustomRigs]

Lifting it up is as simple as hitting a rocker switch inside cab.

[@able_trucking780]

What you do to thw rear end to lower only adjust the rod or did u get different air bags?

[@CustomRigs]

Didn’t touch the rear end yet, you wouldn’t want to lower it or else you will have driveline vibrations.

[@bencojo6846]

Ok so in conclusion does it make it better? With your he Pete springs? It is a nice ride w9. Keep up the true enthusiasm

[@CustomRigs]

Not really impressed with the differences yet, but feels slightly better. Need to put on some more miles this week to see how much has really changed.

[@bonidaexpress]

where did you get the melon bracket for the air cleaner lights

[@CustomRigs]

Custom made from a scrap stainless panel.

[@DARKTROPICAN]

How did you get the front pin the front spring?

[@CustomRigs]

@@DARKTROPICAN for w9 you have to cut about 1-2” of the front spring where it curves

[@DARKTROPICAN]

Are the pins supposed to go in freely by hand or giving a battle?

[@CustomRigs]

@ easy by hand. Most likely you have the wrong threaded inserts or wrong pins.

[@DARKTROPICAN]

One more question about the up and down silonoid using the cruise control… how to connect it and does it need power from battery?

[@josueordazlopez2923]

Verry nice 👌👌

[@parmveersingh7695]

I got Peterbilt 389 with the 12 gauge air ride, I like to upgrade to new leafs , but I’m not happy with the 12 gauge, The airbag mounts broke on me couple of times, do you think I should look into the original set up sane as Newer trucks? I really like your content. Keep it up brother, Thank you.

[@CustomRigs]

I’ve been thinking of trying the double air bags and ditching the 12 gauge setup. Or building my own kit and using bigger ag100 airbags

[@830boyz4]

What about on a 379 do you gotta move the hanger back to install those ag130s ?

[@CustomRigs]

Yes you will 379 has shorter leafs like older w900, plus you will also have to do something with your hood mounts on the frame they will be in the way.

[@830boyz4]

The 59-750 the same as those 59-748 spring ?

[@CustomRigs]

@@830boyz4 they are pretty much the same half inch length difference and 1” arch difference. You won’t feel the difference between the two.

[@830boyz4]

Is that the actual oem number ag130 ?

[@ericvonwiegen5672]

Nice 👍

[@ryanmadrid6787]

Will these springs work on a 379?

[@CustomRigs]

Yes has been done many times. You will just need to relocate the rear spring hanger 5” back as well and make custom hood brackets that hold bottom of the hood in place.
