To add the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Double Convoluted - Rear Axle # F2407 (axle below springs) or # F2410 (axle above springs) to your 2018 Toyota Tacoma with a 2" lift you'll just want to measure the distance between where the brackets are going to mount; if the distance between upper and lower brackets is 7.5" to 8.5" you'll just need to use the Lift Spacers for Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - 2" Spacers - Qty 2 # F2366. If the distance is less than this then you won't need to use any spacer on your lifted 2018 Tacoma. These air bags will help you provide support to fight sag on your Tacoma when you're towing that trailer, and you can take the air out of the bags to keep the ride quality unchanged when you're not towing.

If you'd like to be able to keep your air bags filled up without having to go to a gas station, then adding a compressor system like the Firestone Air Command II - Analog Gauge w/ Standard-Duty Compressor - Dual Function - 130 psi # F2178 is a great choice. This system will allow you to fill the air bags from the comfort of your truck cab and has easy to read analog gauges for you to monitor the pressure at all times.

I've linked some review and installation videos on these parts for you to check out. If you find that your measurements give you a greater distance than I've noted above, let me know what you find and I'm happy to help you locate the correct lift spacer. I've also linked all of our compressor systems for you in case you're looking for something a little different.
