Does Firestone Air Bag Kit # F4179 Come with Heat Shield
Updated 12/22/2025 | Published 10/16/2024
Question:
I'd like to know whether or not this system has a heat shield plate to protect the air line from the exhaust (if applicable). I saw it on the Air Lift 1000 system from one of eTrailer's other videos and wanted to see if the Firestone product offers the same, or if it's even necessary. Thank you.

The Firestone kit part # F4179 does not come with a heat shield nor is one required. It wouldn't get too hot and cause any probems.

Hey, did the Firestone Coil-Rite air springs work well for you without the heat shield? Knowing how they held up near the exhaust could help others deciding between systems. Your feedback would be great for anyone comparing Firestone and Air Lift kits.
