Firestone Airbags

[superdave267]

Anyone running the Firestone Airbag's on the rear of their 2011 F250 SD? If so how are they working out loaded and unloaded.

I'm running them on my f350 and can't tell any difference unloaded. I have tried several different pressures looking for a sweet spot for better ride. If there is one I have not found it. As far as loaded works like it should. Levels the truck. Well worth the money IMO.

Will it lift the rear and if so does it make the ride worse.

I have the firestone air bags and the airlift 72000 wireless compressor on my 2011 F250. When unloaded you are suppose to run 5 PSI in the bags. When loaded you can go up to 100 PSI. I can't tell any difference when unloaded. I have heard nothing but good things of how they help when towing. I have a 29ft. bumper pull toy hauler and was getting some sag even with the weight distribution hitch. Thus why I installed the bags. Haven/t had the chance to tow with them yet but looking forward to it. The install is not too bad. A little tight on the driver side with the tanks on that side. I would recommend getting the wireless remote air as it really COOL....

I have the airbags on my 04 250. I tow a 37ft. 5th wheel. Really helps with leveling a heavy load. I keep about 5lbs of pressure in them when not towing and the ride is no different then before I put them on. I think they are a must when towing heavy loads.

Any Forum vendors sells them? I'm towing an 32 ' car hauler and using a equilizer hitch and still getting sag. How is the ride when towing a heavy load?

Do you happen to have any pics of how you mounted the compressor?

EpicCowlick has posted a video. Search for it. It's quite helpful and the install only takes 10 video minutes...
