Air Bag Questions

[khancock]

I'm getting ready to order some air springs for the back of my truck to help when towing. I'm looking at the Firestone Ride Rite and the Air Lift Ride Control kits. There is about $50 different between kits but both look fairly comparable. The most significant difference I can find is that the Firestone kit has you remove the factory bump stop and uses that location whereas the Air Lift retains the factory bump stop and uses a slightly different mounting location. Thoughts on both kits anyone?

I have Firestone and like them. Keep about 5 lbs in them when not loaded sure helps out the ride quality. With the quad and trailer loaded I run about 40-45 lbs, props up the back end of the truck and REALLY stabalizes the truck, no tail wagging the dog.

I'm looking for some bags too. With the lift, did you have any problems? I think I saw that some kits sell extensions or something.

I have the air lift ride control kit and like it. I don't do alot of towing but it works for what I need it for. And it is a easy kit to install and you don't have to alter any of the stock truck parts/suspension.
