Air Bags for swaybar

[dboyw]

I have been after a rear swaybar for my truck, but I have a question. Would the rear air bags work as a swaybar? I use them for towing the camper, other wise, they are deflated. They are on seperate lines, have to fill each one by itself. If I were to ad enough air for a comfortable ride, would they act like a swaybar?

Thanks

No, the air bags are springs and not a sway bar. Two different things and functions. If you isolate them like you are talking about, they will act sorta like a sway bar, but not as effective because the air bags will not transfer the swaying force from one side to the other; just resist the force on one side only. Clear??

Thanks, that does make sense.

they are deflated

ps you aren't supposed to completely deflate the air bags
when not in use

Right. My Ride-Rites call for 15 psi.. minimum, at all times.

Keeps them from being flattened, beyond their natural state.. and cracking.
