Default Firestone Ride Rite

So yesterday I installed the Firestone Ride Rite air bags on my truck and I just wanted to say that it was one of the easiest things I have done to it. I did it in an hour and a half with out having to take the tires off or jack the truck up. Really happy I got these one and the price from autoanything.com was unbeatable.

I want to know price too... Some are filled with on board air and some plumb the lines by the back license plate and fill with compressor at home or wherever

I paid $246.08 to my door. I ran the lines to the rear and put the stems through the bottom holes of my plates and I got a trailer plug adapter that has a 12 volt hook up that a plug a small compressor into. Takes less then 5 minutes to fill.

That's a great price... Where did they come from? I need a set for hauling firewood. Id like to be able to put a pretty big load on the truck.

I don't need them but my brother keeps telling me to get some. I'm wondering how well they fill when under load. I got a crappy 12v compressor. Maybe I should get a tank an an air horn

I've got the Air-Lift bags and I've put a ton of wood pellets in my bed and it hardly moves with 90lbs in the bags. I've also gotten funny looks from the guy that drop 1800lbs of bark mulch in it.

I know the Firestones are just as good if not better so you're gonna love um.
