Which is better?

[KENNY]

Which airbag system is better. Firestone or Airlift?

Thanks, Ken

Haven't heard anything bad about either one. Think Firestone might be a little less $$.



I researched air bags, then also looked at Timbrens to eliminate the air-related issues. Then I decided to wait until I picked up my 5er before adding on anything to see how much squat the pin caused. Only 2". So I'm not adding anything. I have the camper special package thus I'm equivalent to a 3rd gen 3500 SRW.

I have the Firestone and my father in-law has the Airlifts. Both sets seem to do equally as well. Install was simple on both as well. My truck is leveled so any weight in the back makes my truck look like it's saggin. I would put air bags on even if I was only saggin 2 inches. It will bring the truck back to stock ride height... and it also makes a big difference in driveability.

When I first got my 36' King of the Road 3 axel 5er I was looking for air bags as the rig weighed 15k loaded. When I set it up it came down to the overloads about 3" and rode real fine. You might not need those over loads my 3500 dually handled it Ok.

I've owned both and their both bullet proof. You wont be dissatisfied with either.
