Question:

I have 13 Tundra with 6 inch lift that Id like to install airbags. Im sure Ill need extensions but what size. I do not have lift blocks in the rear I have custom leaf packs. I didnt plan on all the additional weight being added. Im also planning on getting the Daystar cradles so I dont lose any articulation. Also, what is the maximum height dimension of the F2445 bags as well? The spacing between my leaf packs and frame is 9.5inch and currently sagging 1inch lower than its supposed too. Thank you for you assistance.

The Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs you were looking at item # F2445 are a confirmed fit for your 2013 Toyota Tundra. In order to work with a 6" lift, you will need the 6" Lift Spacers item # F2375. These spacers are installed between the top of the spring and the top bracket. To verify that this kit will work, the distance between upper and lower brackets must be between 11.5" and 12.5". If yours is only 9.5" then it sounds like you got shortened on the lift or your suspension has quite a bit of pressure on it. We do have 4" Spacers item # F2370. These require from 9.5" to 10.5" between upper and lower brackets.

When compressed the height to the top of the spring is 2-5/8 inches and to the top of the valve it is 4-3/4 inches. When not compressed it is 6-1/8 inches tall to the top of the spring and 7-5/8 inches tall to the top of the valve.

I also recommend the Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System for Air Helper Springs - Remote - Bluetooth - EZ Mount item # AL74000EZ. Air Lift's premium, wireless, onboard compressor system with Bluetooth allows you to fill your air springs at the touch of a button. The WirelessAIR also automatically maintains pre-set air pressure levels. It lets you adjust 2 air springs independently with the wireless remote control. This allows you to level your vehicle front to back. It also allows you to get side-to-side leveling of off-center loads by inflating each spring with a different amount of air.
