Aftermarket Airbag Recommendations

I'm planning on installing the Westcott kit while I wait for real suspension to be available but will be installing 35's as well.

Is there an airbag kit that is compatible with the new coil suspension? I have a 4WC Hawk that I'll be using this summer and it'll squat for sure.

 

Seems like the consensus among the few who have installed airbags for campers is the the Firestone Coilrite 4164 kit for Land Cruisers is the best fit. I've got a set waiting to go on mine to support our Raven and eventually new Hawk coming next year.

 

Thanks! Exactly the info I was looking for.

 

Just a word of caution... I have not seen these bags installed on the new trucks so I can't comment on fit or anything. I'll report back here when I get around to installing mine.

 

Yeah, it's a matter of finding the correct ID and length. No doubt Firestone and AirLift are scrambling to get rear kits on the market. Rear coil airbags are fairly easy to install without removing the rear coilsprings, maybe disconnect the rear swaybar to get enough droop to make it easier.

The reason for checking ID and length is if you want to go with taller rear coils for a lift the stock lengths won't work. Don't laugh, with the Toytec lifted 4Runners I had to get Firestone airbags meant for a Ford Crown Victoria. Gone maybe 250k miles onroad, offroad and towing no problem.

 

These guys got the Firestone airbag from 200 land cruiser in the rear. But they also have Dobinson lift springs. Can see it at 5:43 mark in the video. I’m thinking of doing same for when I haul 2 motorcycle and gear in back.

 

I found this same kit to be a PITA when I installed them on our Sequoia. I'll be removing the coils this time like the instructions say. It'll be way easier to cut down the bump stops and route the lines that way too.

 

Good points. I forgot about cutting down the bumpstops with the coils in place.
