Do Firestone Air Bags Need to Be Disconnected When Truck is Placed on Lift
Updated 08/01/2023 | Published 07/31/2023
Question:
Ive recently installed these on my 2013 Chevy 2500HD. I installed them while my truck was on a lift, and I had to lower the truck to the ground to get the axle close enough for the top and bottom brackets of the airbag to be installed. My question is - will I have to disconnect the airbags the next time my truck goes on a lift? Seeing that my axle s lower than the springs naturally extend will leaving them on while lifting the truck up stretch or rip the spring? Or are the designed to withstand this stress?

Expert Reply:
You will not need to disconnect your Firestone # F2613 when you put your 2013 Chevy 2500 on a lift. We have previously confirmed this with Firestone. The air bags are well built and able to handle that additional stress without any issues.
