Proceed with caution when straying from the FI9294 airbag on the Sullybilt
GMC suspension kit. The fact that the manufacturer or retailer of bag X
states that bag X is compatible with the 9294 but at a lower cost
is no assurance that you will not have fitment issues. Different airbags
built for the same application can have different dimensions which will not
impact their fitment on a truck trailer where clearances are huge but can
on a GMC where the clearances are much tighter. A Triangle airbag which is
a “direct replacement” for the 9294 has an inflated diameter 1/2” greater
than the 9294. This can cause clearance problems to the wheel well of the
GMC. If you are considering a less costly substitute to the 9294 on your
Sullybilt kit I recommend you install the kit on Bothell bogies less the
bag and measure to the inside of the wheel well from a straight edge placed
across the two plates. You will need at least 3/4-1” to clear a triangle
bag. The others, who knows? Is it really worth the gamble to save $100?
That is a personal choice.
