Default Best place to buy AirBags?? Help!

Hi everyone,

So I'm looking into purchasing air bags for my truck. I will be towing a car from jersey to myrtle beach this summer and withh my lift, the bags would definitely help. I've seen the firestones online, just trying to see where the best deal it.

Also, what size spacer will I need for the air bags(via Firestone) because of my lift?

Trucks a 2011 4X4 with Rancho 4 inch lift.

Any help is appreciated!

Try F150lifts.com on our forum or anyone of the other vendors for your price.
As long as you do NOT have an add-a-leaf, & just rear blocks in your rear lift option... The space between the frame & leafs are still exact as stock... You will not need any spacers. Just bolt it up & you're ready to tow. You'll love them!

Are you sure I will not need spacers?? I thought for sure I need them? I know the bags rest on top of the leafs.

And you are correct, I have nothing except the lift block that came with kit.

You will be fine...no spacers needed. (some 2WD trucks do, but not the 4WD F150's).
Check out my thread & install pics:

I have a BDS 6" lift & rear lift is ONLY block, as well. You'll be fine!

They work great! I towed my best friend's 1976 Chevy with a big block in it. (The Chevy & trailer combo weight is around #7500). I had 25lbs of air in it for a level.
It towed like a champ!!!! (not to mention the truck itself!)

Thanks. You won't have any issues at all....(Plus I see you're tuned? --- You're All good brother!)
A little extra weight? yes!........noticeable? Hardly! ..... Pulling your trailer down the road like a boss?.... PRICELESS!!!!
On the Brake Controller - it's the Factory OEM one. I was very impressed with the overall control! If you do not have the OEM controller, I would highly recommend that over any standard A/M - for sure.
The 5.0, ( I do have 3.73 gears) and the 35" tires, and not to brag & tell "big stories"...but honestly,... I was completely impressed & so was my best friend.
