Firestone Riderite air suspension

Anyone have any experience with these?

Thank you.

 

Nope, no one. They r garbage. Jk, they r the real deal.

 

Yep. Easy install, good quality bags. I recommend a T fitting. I mounted the fill valve by the rear license plate. I've seen people do them underneath the gas tank lid and in the wheel well.

I used them to reduce the hitch bounce from my trailer.

 

They work well. Personally, if you can afford it, I suggest the self leveling kit with a T fitting added for an aux fill valve in a location of your choice.

 

Both Air Ride and Ride Rite are good companies. I actually have firestone bags and an airride wireless compressor. I purchased @Coachbuilder1 airbag spacers and it rides like a dream.

 

I've got the Firestone ride rite on my truck. Highly recommend if you do any kind of towing.

 

I use my Firestone ride rite air bags all the time.

 

I have them. They are awesome. It makes towing so much better.

 

I put the Firestone on my fathers Tundra and these ↓ on mine.

Those look identical to Firestone.

 

Yup.

 

Thanks for the advise. Looking to get a trailer soon in the 4,000 to 8,000 loaded range.

 

What model air bags?? Seens they have several. Putting a fourwheelcamper on .

 

is the 2445 the right kit???

 

Yes

 

Just noticed I have the Firestone bags installed on my truck. Bought it used about a month ago. Didn't think anything of the brass colored fittings on each side of the license plate.

 

Also, if you plan on installing any sort of shackle or lift in the rear you will want these or something similar.

Dang it. Just ordered my shackles Friday.

 

Call @Coachbuilder1 and he will let you know what you need. Ekstrom designs.

 

I ordered the Coachbuilder +2s so I'll need the spacers also. Hoping they can add them to current order to avoid extra shipping.

 

Yes, just email or call David tomorrow and he will make it right. I have the +3’s and Firestone bags and his airbag spacers. Rides perfectly. I am away from my truck for a few days but I will get pics when I can. I also installed my wireless compressor behind the left rear passenger seat so it is never exposed to the elements. It’s not loud at all and I can have normal volume conversation with passengers even while it is adjusting air pressure.

 

so what's a good air compressor!! looking at the 2158 or 2610

 

I installed the air lift bags which I found out have an internal bump stop. Stock truck and I was riding on the bump stop when empty. I removed them and installed the firestone bags and rides much better empty. The air ride bags had a similar feeling to using timbren bump stops.

I haul an 1100lb slide in camper with mine. Rides great loaded up.

 

I have 1” lift blocks and 2” shackles in the rear. I used Firestone’s bracket spacer to space the inner bracket that rests on the axle tube, but did NOT use a spacer for the airbag itself. I did use the Daystar airbag cradles (which I highly recommend to preserve airbag life) I find that this is a better setup. When empty, the truck barely rests on the airbags, and it rides a lot better than it did pre-lift, without the harshness of the bags. When loaded, I can pump up the bags and get full support.

 

do use a on board air compressor?! if so which one??

 

Welcome from NY.

 

Do any of the Tundras come with air suspension from the factory? I have it on my Sequoia and I must say, it makes it a comfortable ride. I always hear people say to not get airbags or replacing them out with regular suspension.

 

Look at the airlift wireless EZ kit. It’s the nicest most convenient one out there in my opinion.

 

Welcome.

I have those Airlift on my truck as well and have the same problem. It hits those internal bumps just driving over a damn reflector in the road.

Im tempted to take them off and put on Firestones.

 

That is why I went firestone bags and the wireless compressor, best from both companies.
