Firestone Air Bags

Anyone know the best place to purchase Firestone Air Bags. I've been looking on line but curious if anyone has experience with a preferred seller or possibly a forum sponsor.

X-2, easy to install and they work great for leveling out ride, they DO NOT increase your weight handling but sure do make towing a lot easier.

As I read the OPs question, he's not asking if the subject bags are good/bad. He asked where to get them.

I bought mine through Amazon "Sold by East Coast Jeeps".

Etrailer.com, SDTruckSprings.com, SummitRacing.com. Ebay and a few more. See who has a sale right now. By the way, AirLift and PacBrake bags will do the same thing. I went with the Firestone as they were the cheapest at the time. Haven't regretted my airbag purchase.

I ordered a couple weeks ago from autoanything.com for my 13 ram 2500 4x4. They had a good promo going with 20% and I got them out the door for 283.00. Manual fill though no onboard compresssor. That will come in time maybe.

I got mine through Leaf Springs, Helper Springs and Suspension Parts | SD Truck Springs

Hooked them up for manual inflation through one valve.

I got mine through Amazon, I got the airlift for around $80 shipped. Install took about 1 1/2 hours and I too have the manual fill and they work amazingly well.

I got mine through SDtrucksprings and I ordered my compressor through xtremediesel.com which is XDP.

There are alot of places that might be cheaper but, then I searched for coupon codes, on XDP, the compressor was $10 more listing but, they had the best coupon code which made it cheaper in the end.

On top of that airlift was running their mail in rebate at the time.

Airlift is running the same special still. Buy and Airbag kit or compressor and get $50, if you buy both you get $100 back by rebate. It ends today according to Airlift's website.

However, in a few months they will likely run it again, that's what I noticed anyway.

The 100% best price you can get is at etrailer. Not because it's the lowest to begin with. It's because they offer a 110% price guarantee. So, the process of ordering is this. Find the lowest price with shipping anywhere on the net. Then order from etrailer. The second you get your order confirmation via email, send their CS an email back with the link to the lowest price you found. Within 24 hours they will refund you 110% of the difference. Done this on everything I ever ordered from them. Works like a charm.

Thanks for the info everyone, I ended up ordering the Air Lift brand Load Lifter 5000 from SDTruckSprings.com for $269.00 with free shipping and a $50 mail in rebate. Hopefully this will increase my payload.....just kidding.
