Airbags

Well I didnt have anything else to do so I thought I would stir up some contraversy.

Who makes the best suspension airbags for a 1996 F250?

I'll probably get the Firestones when I eventually get the airbags for my truck. Aren't a lot of the bags on big rigs made by Firestone too??

Well if you can tell me another name of a "manufacturer" other than firestone. I'll join in on the contraversy. Right now I think it all leads to Firestone.

I spent a bit of time wandering around the Jegs site and didnt find the Firestone bags that were supposed to be on sale. I did find a system for heavy duty pickups by AirLift

yep, you are right, they are not firestones, sorry i just looked at the picture and did not read the name(they look exactly the same as the firestones)i would bet they are the same thing. i dont think you need to pay an extra $40-$50 for the firestones.

The only two bags worth looking at for our trucks is the Firestone Ride-Rite, or the Airlift Super Duty. Both bags are identical. 5000lb cap and worth the money. Both are pretty fairly close in price dependin on where you get them. My .02 cents is get the compressor with on board controls and gauges.

I love my Firestones.
