Default Thinking about adding Airbags to your truck?

This is a pretty good deal going right now:

$50 rebate on Airbags.

AND $50 rebate on a compressor/leveler system if you choose that route.

I just hooked my existing air bags up to my compressor/tank system for my train horns.
You don't need a compressor for airbags, but it is nice to have.

Just passing along a good deal. I just bought a set of them for my backup truck.

I went with Firestone Airbags and the Airlift compressor with the wireless remote. I really like it so far, I was surprised with a better ride on a F350 SRW. Doug

Thanks for sharing. Given their current promo, their price is a shade cheaper than etrailer.com on the same part.

I met with Firestone at SEMA last year and they recommended Suspension connection to me.

For anybody wondering, I deal with etrailer on a somewhat regular business and they have been phenomenal to deal with. Definitely an up and up company.

Airbags are definitely a great investment for towing.

Ive broken just about every set of airbgs made. Not on my personal trucks but on my tow trucks. The mounting hardware always seems to fail. I now add 2 leaf springs to the rear for around $500 and forget about them. The ride is a little stiff, but its a truck.

I bought a set of air lifts for my F350 DRW. Curious to see how she tows with them.
