Yes he has the Firestone but says spend the money to do the built in compressor. He also has had good luck with the Timbren springs if you need to do it cheaper. I know you want the adjustability tho.
 
I've got my own set of those airbags here at home.[/quote]

I agree, if you're gonna do airbags, might as well do the built in compressor. And if you have a compressor, you could add an air chuck to air up tires on the road with it too.

I'd put the chuck near the rear hitch and carry a air hose long enough to reach the front of the pickup and all trailer tires. And if the compressor takes a dump, you could use a quick tach air stem chuck to air up your air bags from an external source.

I have Timbrens and like them, but then I don't care about adjustability. Got them on my '82 C20 that the vast majority of the time hauls either a 400 gallon water tank or pulls a 16' bumper trailer.

I keep 80 PSI in the rear tires all the time too. If I don't change air pressure in tires, I probably wouldn't change air pressure in air bags either. ;-)

IMO, Timbrens are the best bang for the buck because they follow the KISS principle, up front cost less than air bag system, zero maintenance, and no air to leak out. :nod:
 
I went ahead and ordered a set of heavy duty firestone bags. I didn't get the on board compressor though because I don't anticipate changing the pressures very often but still want the capability to adjust them. I may change my mind after I get them installed though and get the compressor
 
I just got the firestones and compressor...........spend the money on the compressor
 
Hook, I have the firestone kit in my dodge, I would recommend beefing up the mounting brackets a bit.. my brackets have been bending.

Also, try and look for an old cadillac that had air ride and get the compressor from there.. Firestone wants WAY too much money for a compressor (about $400 for a decent one)... If you need to adjust it away from a shop, go to costco and get a little portable air compressor for $20.. Heck, butcher it and mount it in your truck if you want it permanant!

I have onboard air powered by my AC compressor (I'm heat tolerant, don't need no stinkin AC.. Drove Death Valley Ca in july and didn't need it.. 120F).. very handy thing to have... besides, I put a big a$$ air horn on my truck too so people don't mistake me honking for a sick duck!

yer gonna break the frame on that ford...airbags are bad bad bad...its a pretty common problem

DB, funny you say that .... break the frame ... that's exactly what I did adding both helper spring overloads and Timbrens to my F150 trying to turn it into a F250HD :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I've had excellent success with my 8600lb GVWR Chevy C20 running HD Timbrens rated at 10K which should in effect make it into a C30. So far it's hanging together just fine and I don't baby it at all. All I'm lacking of a C30 is the full floater axle and dual wheels.
 
actually the first frame i ever repaired from airbags was a 2008-9 chevy they were pulling a huge grove sprayer with..it didnt have anything to do with airbags but those frames are stamped steel and man they were thin after the rear axle. it bent it down right where the hitch bolted on
