That's right. Firestone bags and AirLift wireless system with in-board air compressor.

A comment about Epiccowlick's post about our air bags vs Firestone;

Firestone makes a good product and they are our #1 competition, but our air bags have some major differentiators that set us apart from them;
1. We use engineered resin end components.. the same stuff they make gun stocks and engine parts out of. They are bullet proof and will not EVER corrode.
2. Our air bags have a larger volume which translates into a smoother ride.
3. Our air bags have a slightly larger maximum diameter which translates into a higher capacity.
4. Our air bags have a life time warranty to the original purchaser.
5. Our air bags established the market for air helper springs. That doesn't necessarily mean that ours are better, but it does mean that we have more experience at this.
6. Our air bags have a 60 day ride satisfaction guarantee.. put them on and use them for 60 days. If you don't like them, take them off and get a refund.

I'm a consumer too and #4 & #6 would be a deal maker for me.

Whichever you choose, you can expect a good product.

Thanks for the "Grand Standing" opportunity!!

Brad, what do you think about Helwig Helpers, I prefer them because there is no maintenance & you never have to worry about air or moving parts................
I've put on several sets & never a problem....or complaint......Gigger
