Have had them for a couple of wks now. Seem to perform as advertised .install was easy .instructions were easy to follow. Kit was complete,did not need to purshase any additional hardware for installation. There only reason i did not give them 5 stars is that I was told by online chat that the air dump was to the outside ,and that the control panel that i chose had a built in air soliend .this was not true .there was know soliend and the air dump is in the cab.

Much easier to install than the air lift kit. I returned a air lift kit and bought the ride rite kit. I did have to call Firestone three times to get a bracket to relocate the sensor controller that was in the way of mounting the upper bracket for the passenger side. I sat here with the kit for over a week before receiving the bracket.(Air Lift did not have a bracket for their kit) I do think the parts should include the option of using one fill valve for both sides.

This is a pretty simple kit to install in little time needed. Firestone is a great dependable brand when it comes to airbags. They work great when pulling a load and ride smooth.

I have a leveling kit installed on my 03 Ram 1500 with a 2in drop in the front and a 4 in drop in the rear. This is a flip kit, so Im not sure if that changes the way this airbag kit would mount. Im tired of not being able to put aything in my bed and bottoming out every time I hit a bump. Is this kit my solution?
Answered by Nathan S. — Jan 14, 2013 8:30 AM
Hi, It sounds like you installed a lowering kit since the front has a drop. You definitely need to check the amount of space in between the the axle tube and the frame.

i have 2001 toyota tacoma v6, 4 door, short bed prerunner. Where is the best location on the rear leaf spring to install the firestone air bag suspension system? Should it be between axle and chassis, or leaf spring and chassis? Should it be inside (farther the tire) or outside (closer to the tire)?
Answered by Nathan S. — Nov 12, 2012 9:25 AM
Hi Gregg, The included installation instructions should indicate where to mount the bags.

I had an Air Lift on my last truck, and want to upgrade a little bit. Is the installation about the same on this? What could be a challenge for this kit?
Answered by Elizabeth C. — Jul 31, 2012 1:40 PM
Hello. They’re generally similar in installation but there’s some differences brand to brand. A lot of people that I talk to do install these at home, but the biggest challenge being to jack up the truck far enough to do the work/relieve any pressure on the suspension components. Thank you for your question.

I was wondering why one air bag has more psi then the other and the truck is level. Anyone know????
Answered by Nathan S. — Jul 27, 2012 3:07 PM
This could be due to line blockage preventing pressure equalization.

I noticed two different installation photos in your demos. On a 2008 Toyota Tundra does the Ride Rite air bag attach between the frame and the AXLE or the frame and the LEAF SPRING?

i bought my truck with rear air suspension and was wondering what the max psi the bags can take???

Understand, with this type of system, (the Coil-Rite suspension system) can only support 500 to 1,000 lbs. First, load your vehicle. Next, inflate the air bags using only enough air to level your vehicle with the front wheels, and from left to right! Not doing so will have an impact on the handling of your vehicle!!

How much air should be in the air bag when you do not have a load on the vehicle? Is there a minimum or Maximum?
Answered by Paul L. — Mar 01, 2012 10:01 AM 2006 Ford Freestar
When using the system with out an additional load, the bags should be deflated enough to allow the vehicle to be "level" with the front of the vehicle, and level from left to right! (Therefore, the presure will depend on the temputure where you're at, and your current altitude!)
