Daystar Air Bag Cradle for 6" convoluted air bags — Black polyurethane lower mount, preserves full suspension travel

Daystar's Air Bag Cradle is a heavy-duty polyurethane lower mount that lets 6-inch convoluted air bags cycle through full suspension travel without binding or damage.

Many air bag lower mounts sit above the leaf spring and limit wheel travel, reducing ride quality and risking premature wear. The Daystar Air Bag Cradle (KU09140BK) repositions and protects the lower portion of a 6" convoluted air bag so the suspension can use its full range. Molded from impact-resistant Daystar polyurethane and made in the USA, this cradle is designed for full-size half-ton trucks and SUVs, fitting both 2WD and 4WD applications.

How does this cradle preserve suspension travel?

The cradle supports the air bag below its operating envelope so the bag can compress and extend without contacting suspension components. Its shape creates clearance where traditional mounts typically pinch the air bag, allowing the spring and axle to move freely through the design’s intended range.

• Fits standard 6" diameter convoluted airbags used on most full-size trucks and SUVs
• Low-profile geometry reduces interference with leaf springs and axles
• Polyurethane construction resists deformation under load

Will installation affect towing, hauling, or daily driving?

Installation is meant to be straightforward and to maintain the benefits of an air bag system—load leveling, ride tuning, and protection—without compromising travel. Because the cradle mounts at the lower bag location, it integrates with existing air bag kits and does not change the air system’s intended function.

• Easy install to lower air bag mount—designed for bolt-up use
• Keeps towing and hauling performance intact by allowing full bag movement
• No alteration to air lines or bag pressurization required

What materials and durability can I expect from Daystar’s design?

Daystar uses a tough polyurethane compound engineered to withstand road impacts, abrasion, and repeated suspension cycles. Unlike thin metal brackets that can dent or stress fatiguing components, the cradle’s mass and elasticity protect the air bag while resisting cracking and permanent deformation.

• Constructed from impact-resistant Daystar polyurethane
• Made in the United States with quality control for consistent fit
• Package weight and dimensions optimized for shipping and handling

Which trucks and air bag types are compatible with this mount?

The Daystar Air Bag Cradle was engineered to fit full-size half-ton trucks and most SUVs using 6" convoluted air bags. It accommodates both 2WD and 4WD models where the lower bag mount requires added clearance to avoid restricting travel.

• Fits any full-size half-ton truck and most SUVs
• Compatible with 6" diameter convoluted air bags
• Designed for common OEM and aftermarket lower-mount setups

Who is this for? Truck and SUV owners who want the utility of an air bag system without sacrificing suspension travel or risking air bag damage will benefit from the Daystar Air Bag Cradle. It’s ideal for people who tow or haul regularly, use their vehicle off-road, or simply demand a reliable lower air bag mount that preserves ride quality. If your vehicle runs a 6" convoluted air bag and you need a durable lower mount that keeps the bag clear of leaf springs and axles, this Daystar cradle offers a straightforward, American-made solution.
