Installation was really easy except for the lower brackets that attach to a lip of metal. There was another piece of metal on the axle that got in the way but i pried and then hammered the bracket into place, squeezing it in. If I didn’t I’d still be able to get the bolt through but I bet as I tightened it down it would move the base plate and wouldn’t be lined up as well. No air is leaking so far. I didn’t buy the compressor so I might screw on some Bluetooth tire pressure monitors so I’ll get notified if pressures drop below 5psi. I have a 2023 Chevy 2500 and surprisingly with 15psi and no load in the bed it rides much better! Doesn’t hop all over the place3197070

This installation took twice as long as it should have! The top plate had to be modified to clear the leaf spring U bolts and shock absorber bracket.
The Jounce doesn’t allow the installation of the 3/8@ bolts close the leaf spring that holds the brackets together. I’m not sure what to do with this now. I saw in other reviews where other people had similar issues. Not sure if it’s the universal bracket design vs having slotted holes like your video.
Any help would be appreciated.
Also both valve inserts had to be replaced!3564912

I purchased this Firestone Air suspension and installed it myself on my 2017 Toyota Tacoma Access Cab 4x4. Not having a lift, I had to use a creeper and tarps under and beside the truck to do the installation. Installation was pretty straight forward after viewing the video from etrailer a few times and using the provided diagrams. You will need good 3/4" drive hand tools for the installation. An electric or air impact wrench and ratchet also speeds things up. I then installed a mini onboard compressor with remote control for in cab or outside operation. The system has never leaked air but if it did, any time the vehicle is started, the compressor will refill the system. I keep 10 lbs. air pressure in it and raise it to 20 when I haul my dirt bike on my hitch carrier and it compensates nicely and keeps the vehicle level. All good so far.3211787

This the 3rd truck I've used and installed myself of the Firestone 5,000lb rated airbags on, and not one has ever failed on me. I used them on a 2007.5 Chevy LMM 2500 LT Silverado, a 2020 Chevy 2500 LTZ Silverado, and yesterday I put them on my 2025 GMC 2500 Denali. I did pair my new bags with an Airlift wireless compressor, which is an awesome addition to the bags. I like the fact that etrailer did a comparison video on the Firestone and AirLift bags, and they found the Firestone bags are of better quality and can support the weight of the axle if you lift the truck off the ground by the frame. If you have never installed these bags, you do not have to lift the truck off the ground or remove your rear tires. If you're like me, and do not have access to a lift, I suggest removing your spare tire, which will give you more seating area, and you will not bonk your head into it. Two thumbs up on this kit3252007

excellent product, very easy (uncomplicated) install. anyone who is somewhat mechanically inclined can install themselves. It took me about 3.5 hours by myself with simple tools and a jack on my garage floor. Hardest part was me getting up and down from the creeper.
On my truck, (2015 GMC) i had to remove Ebrake cable brackets on both sides and reroute, not a big deal. also, did not find it necessary to remove spare tire heat shield, worked around it just fine. Routed my schrader valves through the plate screw holders for easy access.3320098

Both sides are losing air. One side loses about 10 lbs.a day. Other side loses about 40 lbs. a day.
Will be removing them and try to submerge them in a tub of water. Hope this will help locate the leaks.1370686

Just received the parts the other day. Have not had a chance to install them, as we are a busy shop. e-trailer.com is always quick and thorough on getting parts to us for our RV customers. Thank you.1365352

Overall good rating. does require drilling of the frame to mount. It does not come with a tee to connect the two lines together. I was very careful and still have a slow leak that I'm trying to find. Trailer has been excellent to work with.3328580

Easy to install and raised the back of my motorhome for towing just like I hoped it would.302758

Even after checking for leaks at connections etc., Before leaving on a trip, I’m having to “air up” the bags before I leave.
This being said, I feel they’ve helped the ride, especially in windy conditions.3167410

This is the second RV I have added the Firestone Ride Rite suspension components. In addition to load leveling, I use them to gain additional off road clearance and easy parking lot leveling adjustment. With over 20 years of use, these durable air bags have served me well. Firestone delivers top quality products that are extremely road worthy. Thanks eTrailer for great products at a fantastic price!595091

Best upgrade for a Ford F53 to address the issue of coach builders using every last available bit of capacity on the leaf springs. We installed these front and back and have a noticeable better drive in regards to crosswinds and big rig push. Not eliminated but I could honestly say cut in half.1679582

I would spray them down with soapy water first, then check the lines and cut them to be flushlevel
