The Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs, # F4134 and the AirLift 1000 Air Helper Springs, # AL61792, are essentially the same product. The main differences between the two kits are the included parts. Both kits come with everything needed to complete the installation, but the Airlift 1000 kit includes two additional round air bag supports for the top of the bag. The Coil-Rite kit provides bag supports for the bottom of the bag only.

I have attached the installation instructions for both of these kits for you to check out.

Hello Patrick, Between the 2 brake controllers that you mentioned I would go with the the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 #90885. The main reason is because the Pro Series Pilot #80550 is time delayed, so there will be a delay from the time that you hit your…

The airbags that I recommend for your 2018 Ford F-250 are the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs part #AL57399. These airbags will not interfere with the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part #BWGNRK1116 as you can see…

Hey Brad, thanks for reaching out. The factory brake controllers they put in the 2015 GMC trucks are largely incompatible with EOH brakes. That is one of the specific model years we see a lot of issues with since they don't have an EOH mode.…
