Air Lift Universal Spring Cradle

I had AirLift 5000 ultimate bags put on my 2nd generation Raptor about a year and a half ago. Today, I had these cradles installed, and the ride is amazing. I now have the best of both worlds: the ability to tow my 3,500 lb. overland trailer and the ability to offroad once I get to my destination. In short, using these cradles in combination with Airlift bags on a Raptor gives you back your suspension travel. Also, when looking at Raptor forums, I only ever saw guys talking about Daystar cradles. I'm sure they are great, but with AirLift bags, you have to drill holes to mount the cradles to the existing bracket. Using the Air Lift 5000 Universal Air Spring Cradles eliminated the need to drill because it has 3 holes that are designed for Air Lift specifically. That is, using these required no drilling. It was a matter of removing 4 bolts, removing the existing trays (i.e., those that permanently affix the bags to the axel), installing the cradles and securing 4 new bolts. I cannot recommend these enough.

Purchased these Air lift cradles to go with my new air lift bags. Installed on my 2006 Sierra 1500 4x4. I have 2” lift blocks in the rear. So when the truck was jacked up with the suspension at full droop aka on a hoist, it would stretch the bags to the point of ruining them. These cradles allow for the bags to become detached from the axle. Making for a great off road option for articulation. Would buy again and recommend to friends!

These cradles worked great for the air bags I already had on my truck. Installation was pretty straight forward.

They cradle as designed, well made, fairly easy to retrofit my bag and add these. Work as expected and designed

These work great and are easy to install but I wish they were slightly thinner. They take up enough space to shorten the jounce.
