We had a set of these on our 08 Tundra. Got rid of the Tundra and got a
2014 Ford F250 Supper Duty Lariat. Is there a kit made that will fit our
2014 F250 ???? Now another question. We kept the Ride-Rite Air Bags Air
Springs that we had on the Tundra, I’m wondering if any of that kit can be
used on the 2014 F250 ???? If so, What brackets would I need to buy…. ?

AutoAnything says:

@2heuerdt Yep, Firestone makes both a front leveling kit and a rear
leveling kit for ’87 F150’s. The front kit uses their Coil-Rite system,
which is a bolt-on suspension kit that can provide 500-1000 lbs worth of
leveling capacity. Please click the link under the video description to get
pricing info.

I know this is old but here is something to be aware of. I have an Envoy
and I am aware of its air ride failures. GM puts real lousy air fittings on
the bags, those like to leak, on my envoy that’s exactly what it was,
cheesy fittings. Soap check your fittings on the bags and at the
compressor. Bags need to be removed to see the fitting, you’ll have to let
the bag air up a little hanging from the airline to check for a leak. DO
NOT let them air all the way up removed, just a little to mild firm.

I have 1950 Chevy truck, do you guys have air ride kit for it?

AutoAnything says:

@ColtonKuhn1 Air springs allow you to tune the suspension to your liking.
By decreasing the air pressure in the air springs, you’ll soften the
suspension at the expense of load capacity. Or you can increase the air
pressure to stiffen the air springs and increase load capacity. In your
situation, load capacity shouldn’t be an issue for your Cadillac unless you
are filling all the seats with 200+ lb bodies.

am in the wrong place

2heuerdt says:

si i have a 1987 f150, if i install a pair in my truck, will it level the
front of my truck out?

Doug Dent says:

can i use the 2001 honda pilot kit for a 2001 honda crv?

AutoAnything says:

@ramirez89554 Sorry, it looks like we don’t have any air bags for your
Lexus. We do have some shocks and struts, but nothing in air suspension.
I’ll let our product team know about this, maybe we can add something in
the near future.

dadez ramirez says:

@autoanything i am looking for some airbags to slam my 1995 lexus ls 400, i
went to your site and they have nothing on a lexus??

AutoAnything says:

@ramirez89554 will do, thanks!

mariom371 says:

i have a 07 envoy denali and my left side airbag leaks what can i do?

AutoAnything says:

@DougDent99 Unfortunately no, the Honda Pilot Kit will not fit the CR-V.
Currently, Firestone only makes air suspension kits for the CR-Z, Fit,
Insight, Odyssey, Passport and Pilot. Air Lift is our other air suspension
brand and they don’t make a kit for the CR-V either. Sorry Doug.

AutoAnything says:

Ok, well the first step is to identify the problem. Fill a spray bottle
with soapy water and spray the air bag, it’ll bubble up over the leaks. If
it’s leaking out of a seal, you might be able to fix it, but if the air bag
is cracked or punctured, you’ll need to replace it.

Gollumizer says:

I have a 2003 ram 1500 that waws used as an industrial delivery truck, and
the suspension is quite weakend. Will installing air bags/air springs give
my truck some lift and will it help relieve my weakend suspension?

Opeysan says:

is this the same as the bagged /slammed s10 trucks? With a compressor can u
raise and lower it with touch of a button? I want a kit if so. =)

Roger Sayers says:

We will be getting our 2014 Ford F250 XLT LARIAT real soon and we will need
a set of these to help level it when we tow our Fifth wheel travel trailer.
What part number do I need in order to place an order for the set that will
fit our 2014 F250 XLT LARIAT ?? We have a set that was on our 2008 Toyota
Tundra. When we sold the Tundra we kept the air bags because. Is it
possible that we could use these on our new truck ?

AutoAnything says:

@Gollumizer Air suspension kits are meant to be used in conjunction with
struts / shocks. It sounds like your stock suspension may have been
overworked and damaged. If this is the case, I would repair / upgrade your
shocks 1st, and then look at adding an air suspension kit. This will ensure
your truck can handle the payloads you need to haul, and it should make the
air bag suspension system last longer. If you’re confident that the shocks
are OK, then yes, air springs will firm up the rear end.

AutoAnything says:

Is it punctured?

AutoAnything says:

@Opeysan Yep, the air suspension bags and compressor will let you raise and
lower the vehicle at the push of a button. However, you also need a
lowering kit to get your vehicle lower than stock. Check out our site,
we’ve got a good selection of both – AutoAnything-dot-com – call us if you
have any questions: 800.544.8778

AutoAnything says:

As soon as they’re available, we’ll have them displayed and you’ll be able
to add them your shopping cart.
