What about when I have to drill holes into the frame for the bolts to hold the bracket, can that compromise the integrity of the frame?
-
-
Did you get price for the T9? How many pounds? Which is easier, making a bracket or cutting the frame?
-
Those brackets got tossed. They are probably one of the only things I threw away. This project just keeps getting better and better.
-
-
The brackets are way too long. Does this thing being 1985 and the airbags being for 1986 have anything to do with it? Probably gonna return. What happens if I drive this thing without air bags?

Box says 57113. Air bag does not. All the same?
-
You're right the bracket for the 57113 looks different than the bracket shown in the installation guide. I found the best deal on Amazon and didn't want to deal with returns if I had the wrong part number. Is there an actual Toyota motor home called micro mini or that's what they use as a generic term for all Toyota motor homes?

The instructions show a totally different orientation for the U-bolts and leaf springs than my set up. The kit No. is also different than what the company shows to order for my RV. Sorta confusing, is this going to work? Should I call Airlift?
-
Haven’t bought yet. Was also curious if the ride control is an option for me? If I buy the load lifter just gonna deal with whatever I need to do for it to fit. Gotta finish this up A.S.A.P!!!
-
Yup, I looked up T9 and it seems like that’s what I had on before. If you look at the first page of this post there is a picture of them on before I took ‘em off.

The old airbags that I removed were more like the Ride Control, if I want to install the Load Lifter airbags will there be any modifications I have to make?

-
Got it. Is it a problem if I reuse the U-bolts and hardware? I was reading it is recommended to install all new.
-
Got them on. Does the torque spec change for the U-bolts since they are not stock leaf springs?
-
So I am attempting to lower the differential onto the leaf springs. When I am doing that should I disconnect the drive shaft? As I am lowering the differential the drive shaft is going very low.Â

Thanks Linda and everyone on here for all the support!
-
Both sides are on! Is there anything I need to do before I tighten them?
-
The plate and pin separates from each other. That’s how I removed the spring before. I had to install the front of the leaf spring first while holding the spring at a 45 degree angle while I wiggled the pin in with the plate away from the hole. I was using a floor jack to balance the spring and adjust when needed. Used a bunch of sil glyd to get it on easier.
-
I tried to install with it attached to the shackle side first already. I’m trying the pin side first now.
-
I could have sworn I got that pin off of the plate. I’m pretty sure I had them apart at one time.
-
With the bushings on it seems like there is no angle it will go in at.Â
