Bryan, I presume that's me that you've 'promoted' to captain - thanks for your 'kind' thoughts!
Brian - 'two' funny
!!
Somehow, I don't think Firestone will be changing their name in a hurry if/when the R4 Tech air lines start blowing out.
One thing I've picked up from the experiences posted here is that it is very hard to gauge the reliability of this sort of product.
BTW, Cptn Carbon Tax will be leading the fight against the 500 'Private Pollution Subsidy'!

Updated my comments on this kit to a "do not buy", or buyer beware

Can't believe the lack of manufacturer support and just plain wrong design of the HCV linkages for the DRW set up.
Thanks for posting. I'll cross the R4-Tech off my wish list!
The rubber shear-block shackle replacements look to be a more effective and reliable solution.
BTW, I am running Firestone bags at 30psi with the shortest leaves on the stock spring packs removed. I never really load the truck up and my trailers don't have a huge pin weight
