I purchased these for my 2022. I had read the instructions online and figured I could do it. Your video increased my self confidence.

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

So happy to hear the video helped out! Thanks for watching!

[@xxsilentmayhem4653]

Man just did the install on my 1794 and your play by play on the install made it incredibly easy! Thank you for making this!

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

No prob, glad it helped!!

[@ryansmith9030]

Just found your channel after after I purchased my 2023 SR5 TRD Sport. You do an awesome job with your videos, with your narration during the processes, pop up pictures, and Pop up wording where needed. Liked this video and subscribed. Keep up the awesome content.

[@dustinmcelreath5667]

Great video, sir! My trick for running the air lines through the bed support is to put a small section of wire loom around the air line by sharp areas. The loom can be zip tied to the air line and adds a ton of material to keep sharp edges from wearing through the line.

[@paulf9653]

Great job Patrick. I’ll be doing mine soon and this will make it much easier. I saw lots of opportunities for blue loctite on the hardware that’s not nylon nuts. I’m ocd like that. Also I’d mention that those that are not needing side to side adjustability that they can run a Tee between the bags and only use one fill valve. That’s what I’m doing. Also a couple of other good valve spots are just above the trailer lights plug and inside the fuel door. Thanks again!!

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

Thanks Paul, much appreciated!!…and great ideas on the install, thanks for sharing them for everyone!

[@ranger87555]

Awsome video! Much appreciated! I have a 2023 TRD 4x4 and haul a camper trailer and installed a 1.75 leveling kit in front and now I hate how much my front is lifted and rear sag. Saw these and looked up videos and yours was the best I found! Thanks I’ll be re watching when installing mine!

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

Thank you, I appreciate it!...happy to hear its helpful!!

[@KnittingThreads]

I don’t plan to do any of the mods to my TRD that I’ve seen you do, but it’s good to know how to just in case I change my mind in the future. I enjoy your content. You’re terrific at your craft. Thanks for sharing!!

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

Thanks Joe, I really appreciate that!!…if I can ever help with anything just reach out!

[@willtacoma2ndgen661]

Great job 👏. I will do that on my truck soon. I like the way you explained everything.

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

Thanks man!...much appreciated!

[@chrismelton67]

Great video. Just finished the install on my 2022 TRD OR Tundra and you had clear details that aren't clear in the Air Lift video and manuals.

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

Thank you!...happy to help, glad the video was useful!

[@dcsoit1017]

Excellent step-by-step video and instructions. Thank you for sharing.

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

Thanks Paul, much appreciated!!...compressor video should be out tomorrow or Monday!

[@RMTHockey-]

Great Video. I have a Black 2023 TRD Pro and your videos have been so helpful to get it customized to my liking. Also ordered the Carista to eliminate the annoying seat belt ding. Such a pain in the ass when you are trying to move your truck while on a call and have that ding going nuts in the background.

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

That's awesome, love hearing that the videos are helping!...thanks man, I appreciate the feedback and support!...and couldn't agree more, thank god for Carista 🤣

[@chrishill5672]

Very thorough video. Good job. Thanks

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

Thanks Chris, I appreciate it!

Nice job you must be a schoolteacher or something because you explain everything to the T love that I just got mine I’m looking forward to doing some work like this great job man

I have got to do this to my 2024 TRD Pro. Terrible squat after adding a decked system and Leitner Designs Cargo rack. Thank for the video

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

No prob, I definitely recommend them!

damn good video!! thanks for making it.

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

Thank you, I appreciate it!!

[@anthonygarcia4046]

The exterior lights work great! I was worried with the two smaller strips they wouldn’t be very bright .

[@Morri88]

I just ordered a set! Can't wait to install and use your video as a guide. Can someone let me know if there is no reason I shouldn't run both bag lines to a "T" then run a single outlet to the same location in the video? Yes I understand this would equalize the pressure to both, to me that's a plus. Just curious if there is any real reason not to?

[@Rottingboards]

Great job.

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

Thank you!

[@jimchen4755]

Good job. I want to get one pair for my tundra too.

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

Thanks Jim, much appreciated!

[@mariolessard9810]

Great Job! Where did you bought the fuse Holder?

[@json2763]

Nice....you make it look easy......😆

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

Hahaha…Thanks man!…it’s honestly not bad at all, lemme know if I can help at all!

[@alboogie3578]

Great Job! On passenger side where air hose is zip tied to the wire line and running into the bracket feeding the line to the drivers side; you may want to add felt tape to any parts that may rub due to vibration as a safe guard. Not a biggie but you stated you are OCD so this might give additional piece of mind. Great video, Sir!

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

That's not a bad idea!...thanks man, I appreciate the feedback!!

[@user-wf7sm4nv8p]

Great video! Is there any reason you did not T the air lines together? The only reason I can think is pressure transfer when cornering? I see that Air Lift sells a T for their systems.

[@Nosaj-dt1ij]

“I actually counted the threads”! 😂OMG. LOVE that about your videos though. Craziness. I’m in complete disbelief. Curious if the auto-headlight-adjustment feature works as advertised when the sag happens and also how (if at all) driving performance is affected? Also, can you do a video on dash cams? I bought the OEM and the interface and app SUCK. Good news is it’s probably easily fixed with firmware and app updates. Bad news is until someone gets Toyota’s attention on it, nothing will happen.

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

Hahaha...my OCD is outta control at times! 🤣🤣🤣... that's a good question about the headlights, I honestly didn't notice any difference but I also wasn't really paying attention to that… If I get a chance I'll deflate the bags with the boat hooked up and go for a ride at night to see if I notice the auto adjustment feature kicking in!

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

And yeah, absolutely!… I will be adding a dash cam once I get caught up with the mods and videos I have planned!

[@agarciagarcia7815]

I have the assistant in my truck. They only problem that I’ if you hit a hole in the street if you lay, you have bumps stop because you got to have hair always on the backs 5 pi’s

[@jkmbhc]

Can you tell me if these bags allow full axle droop on your Pro? Just watched the whole video to answer that question and could tell in any of the shots. Considering swapping from my Coilrite bags to these but these trucks can't afford to lose articulation for off highway use. Thanks!

[@MammothAdventures00]

Great video as always. Thanks! Have the brake lines stayed out of contact with the carriage bolts after this ~year of use?

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

Thank you, I appreciate that! Yepper, brake lines are perfect, no issues at all!

[@gregorycampbell6071]

Do you think I could accomplish this jacking, removing wheel and installing ONE side at a time? I only have gear to jack/block one side.

[@MikeyMac99]

Good video!! Basically just the exact instructions in video form, not much more you could ask for in regards to straight forward 👍🏻 Just installed mine today, what exactly is the point of removing the plug cover/plates? Seems like the brackets could be mounted over the covers without exposing the inside of the frame by removing the plug 🤷🏻‍♂️ @ 9:26 & 9:35

[@MikeyMac99]

Also I had 2 short bolts (that came in the kit) left over at the end of the install 🤔 anyone else?

[@joe2towns112]

How’s off roading with the bags?

[@albertomcd1]

Old man springs better than the stocks

[@sandromammi6483]

How much does your boat weigh and about how much weight on your hitch with full bed? I’m about to take a long trip to pickup a 7000lb boat and wondering if I should install the airlift before my trip. Thanks

[@beverlyboys73]

Impeccable instructions. Does this work with a lft kit? Thx

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

Thank you!!…Yepper, it will…they actually sell brackets so the bags still have the proper support with a lift…Hope that helps!

[@eddiefromcali]

Just a quick tip. Add a piece of rubber hose anywhere the air lines touch the frame or any metal. Wont be any time soon but over time they will rub through and you could lose all air down the road. Is there a minimum recommended psi to run the bags at?

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

That's not a bad idea, thanks man!...these bags can be ran completely empty at zero psi, that's the benefit with these Ultimates with internal jounce...most bags need minimum of 5, but not these...thanks for watching!

[@jeromea9786]

Love your videos. How's the airbag holding up after a year? is the ride much stiffer still?

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

Thank you, I appreciate that!! Love them, no issues at all, and ride quality is excellent. Hope that helps!

[@r32gtr10]

Well done! Yes for all the unbelievers, the sag is real due to the softness of the OEM springs

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

Thanks man, I appreciate it!!…and yea, I think I may do a short video just to show people exactly how bad it is…not sure why people would think I’m making that up but it’s all good!…thanks for watching!

[@r32gtr10]

@@NitroZ18Fishing Since the TRD pro is lifted, do you not need the Load lifter spacers?

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

It's ok at stock height, but once I add any kind of lift in rear I'll be adding an Air Lift spacer for sure...depending on how I go of course, but with the Westcott 1" rear lift I'll be adding the 2" spacer from Air Lift...hope that helps!

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

*how high

[@rickbehncke5548]

Patrick what kind of tongue wt. do you have with that boat giving you that much squat with out the bags ? great video btw !

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

Thanks Rick, I appreciate it!...I'm honestly not sure of the exact tongue weight...the package alone (boat/motor/trailer) weights around 3200 pounds give or take...and then you have my 12,000 pounds of gear in it 🤣🤣🤣...I was never good at calculating tongue weight!

[@ranger87555]

Please upload a video on that other kit you bought for it haha.

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

Thank you, I appreciate it!…I’m honestly no sure, so I don’t wanna give you any wrong info…maybe someone can chime in and confirm!

Does this increases your payload then?

[@vincexvue]

@NitroZ18Fishing appreciate the reply, always enjoyed all your videos, it is some of the best and thoroughly explained, Keep rocking!

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

Thanks again man, I appreciate it!

[@tompattyminerich9708]

Why did you remove the recessed frame plugs from behind the brackets? Not sure it would have made a difference and certainly protect the frame against rust, especially in the Northeast.

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

I was actually wondering the same while I was doing the install… The instructions specifically say to do that step, but I'm honestly not sure why… I showed it in the video because the instructions call for it but I have to agree, I don't think it would make any difference at all!

[@MrKfcflores]

Looks good. Are u going to get the wireless compressor like u had on old truck?

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

Thanks man!…Yepper, I’ll be installing it this weekend!

[@robertvyslouzil]

@@NitroZ18Fishing you find a good area for the mounting of the compressor (with the EZ mount)?

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

Have a couple ideas but haven’t decided yet…I’m considering doing what I did on my 2020 Platinum since it worked out so good!

[@jimcorreia]

What's the tongue weight of your trailer?

[@christophgallo2347]

I wonder if it would work with the westcott preload Collar Lift kit

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

We’re gonna find out…lol…I have the Westcott in my garage, I’ll be installing it in the next couple weeks (video will be posted of course)…I don’t think there will be any issues, I had a 2” rear lift on my 2020 Platinum and added bags with no issues at all, time will tell!…thanks for watching!

[@ranger87555]

Also. If using bags once a month and setting it to 50lbs ect. When done how would you release the air out the bags? (If don’t buy the electronic remote stuff)

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

You would release it using the valve that you fill with as well, super easy!...but I definitely recommend the compressor, it's so convenient!

[@scaryfriend1]

Curious why most of these need to have the factory bump stops removed. It's a factory component for a reason and would think future dealer service might cause complaints on it. I want to do somethign to mine though

[@tinkerandtoys9017]

The bag had an internal bump stop I believe

[@kingofbratz3626]

How is your ride now? Stiff? I put these on my 2017 TRD Pro and I am not sure how I feel about them.

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

Not at all, I actually don’t even know they’re back there…very impressed with the performance on them…on and off road…hope that helps!

[@dgal1239]

My Tundra TRD Pro 2022 needs that?

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

All depends on if ya tow anything and how much weight it is

[@mikewiatrowski1643]

Will this have any effect or cause any problems? Lights in dash etc...

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

No sir, no issues like that at all!

[@bm3z516]

How's the unloaded ride at 5psi? Is it still factory or does it get a tad bit rougher?

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

I don't even know they're back there!… Zero difference at all at five psi, hope that helps!

[@agarciagarcia7815]

The problem with airbags is that you always have to bring air in them and when you pass something on the road like a hole or a bump it feels like you don't have more suspension like you have bum stop 😢

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

That's the good thing about these ultimates… You can run them at zero psi without damage due to the internal jounce… I don't even know they're back there, definitely worth it!

[@khiemcoin1573]

where you buy air lift load lifter 5000 ultimates 2023 toyota tundra , it fit for 2023 tundra

[@artemusburton4824]

Yes it can fit

[@bm3z516]

@@artemusburton4824 have you tried it? I have a 2023 Sequoia and ordered the kit based on the Yota Garage's video that said they would fit no issues. I also asked Airlift and they said they haven't confirmed yet, but they were going to be looking at it. I'm hoping it does since the squat with my boat is terrible...can't believe how much it drops. Also, wondered how it rides when unloaded and running 5psi?

[@todseaton6318]

What all do I need to add this to mine. It didn't come with air bags
