You can do a search on here.I'd say it's about a 50/50 split between Air Lift and Firestone but try to search them theres a lotta good info

My buddy has a set of firestones on his truck. There pretty impresive! He went to pick up a tow behind trailer and it sank the rear of his reg cab down about 3-4 inches. Took a tank of air and blew the bags up. Rode like it wasnt even there!

You could do that and get a cheap air tank but the on board air and inside gauge is the best if you use it alot

I put firestones on mine. They made a big difference when towing my gooseneck but I don't think you could go wrong with either brand.

I have a set of firestone bags that I just took off my truck if you are interested. I took them off because the knobs on my Nitto Mud Graplers were going to rub on them so i took them out...

I have Air Lift. The 5k. No onboard air yet. But the bags work good and easy to install. Haven't been able to overload the suspension with them filled yet.

How do they ride empty... or with no weight on them? Does the ride get better? Stay the Same/Get Worse?
