Question:

What is the width of the air bag at the bellows? Also what is the min collapsed length and the extended length? Thank you!

I went out to the warehouse and pulled a Firestone Ride-Rite system # F2071. When fully collapsed and no air in the system it measures 2-3/4 inches not counting the valves on the top. Please note that you should always have at least 5 psi in the springs up to 100 psi. When in its regular state the bags will not expand much beyond how they come in the box. They are 6 inches tall again not counting the valves. And finally, the diameter is 5-3/4 inches.

Use these measurements as guides because there are other factors involved like how much weight is in the truck and how much air is in the springs. I have linked instructions and a video showing a typical installation for you.
