Rear air bag solenoids

[86caprirs]

Ford sells these at $299 a piece. I found on ebay new solenoids for the rear airbags at $69 a pair. Has anyone used these replacement solenoids from Protier Industries?

 

[86caprirs]

Nobody replaced there air solenoids?

could that be related to why my suspension has a delay when airing up?

 

[86caprirs]

Yes I ran codes and found my l/r solenoid was bad at 5 ohms resistance. I need at least 15ohm or more. It does not air up the rear just holds the pressure in the bags.

I would look for a conversion kit that has a coil spring and do away with that air ride/headache/money pit on the rear, I have known many to do this and they were 100% satisfied

Yeah I've been eyeing that every since everyone said their air was collapsing after 7-8 yrs...or so...I would like to know the ride height with springs since I found conversion that offers 2" drop

I got my drop kit from a dude that had swapped his rear air for a kit with a 2in drop spring in the rear, mine is factory coil sprung, we put the kit on mine and it sat exactly the same as his.

i like how it sits when the truck is off...bags down

I do too Freeway.

Take a mesurement of the differance in height and get the conversion kit and a drop spring that is the diff and it should be good?

 

[GAINMOB]

can you change the springs on conversion?

 

[ydopen]

yea the dude i got my kit from had a 2in drop belltech spring on the rear

 

[GAINMOB]

so how much are springs running?

 

[ydopen]

125-150 usually? check ebay thats where i bought my last set.

 

[GAINMOB]
