I have a set of Firestone bags for sale. They were on my truck for about 3 months but never used to tow. I was going to purchase a toy hauler and bought these. Things changed and Im not going to be able to get one for some time so I took the bags off. Everything is perfect. Air lines were cut to run through the frame to the 7 pin plate where the valves were mounted. If anyone is interested PM me an offer.
Firestone Air Bags
OK I have decided to get some. Know who has the best price? I want just the bags and not the compressor. I found them at Summit for $259, but I know someone out there has found them cheaper. LMK Also do you have to remove bumpstops to install them?

Here's my install. Should be the same as with the Firestone.

How do the bags compare to helper springs? I like the idea of not drilling my frame, not transferring the load to a different point on the frame, and not having to add air.
I like the fact that I can adjust the ride comfort with a push of button.
Bags with the compressor are out of the question. I need to keep things as light and cheap as possible. Maybe Timbrens are for me.
Interesting to note Firestones are 2-year warranty and AirLifts are lifetime with a 60-say money-back ride comfort guarantee as well:

Airlifts are rated at 2000lbs which is less than some Titan's payload. Firestone's are rated at 5000.
Um , so you are thinking that by adding airbags you remove the springs?Airlifts are rated at 2000lbs which is less than some Titan's payload. Firestone's are rated at 5000.
Lets say your max load without the bags is 2000lbs when you add the bags you get another 2000,lbs that = 4000. Well, not really but you get the point. The are used as helpers, not to take he total load.
Firestone bags are heaver, thicker and do have a higher weight rating. The are also stiff even with only 5PSI in them. If you ride with 1000lbsor more in the bed of your truck all the time, get the Firestone. However if you drive any time with no load then get the Airlift. I have had both on this Titan. I still have the Firestone on my Excursion 3/4 ton. I HATE the ride empty with the Excursion.

Hey guys....... does the airlift add extra height to the rear of the truck(when not in use)? I'm at the height I want to be at and don't wanna" stinkbug" it.
No extra height until you add more then 10PSI of air ...Hey guys....... does the airlift add extra height to the rear of the truck(when not in use)? I'm at the height I want to be at and don't wanna" stinkbug" it.
