Question:
I have a 2001 Chev 4x4 2500 with Firestone air bags and 1 bag has a puncture in it. Can I replace just the air bags?

Hey Will, thanks for reaching out!
To replace the air bags on your Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2250 you need the Air Spring # F6781.
If you have the Red-Label Kit # F2700 then you need the Air Spring # F72VV instead.
These come as a single air bag and while they can be replaced on their own, if your system is a bit older it would be better to replace both sides at the same time.
Do you use these more for towing, or hauling?

Hey Will, did you decide to replace just the one air bag, or did you go ahead and replace both sides? I'm curious to know how it worked out for you, as it could help others in a similar situation.
