    Hello, I have a 2017 Tundra that came with airbags in the rear when bought used. I don't plan on ever towing any kind of trailer. I bought sumo springs (blue rating) to replace them with. Going for better ride quality, rear is stiff with airbags. I'm looking for instructions or a video to assist me in removal. Thanks in advance

    Why don't you just deflate the bags?

    If you already have the bags just deflate to the min 5psi. Should work out ok. If not.....how much you want for the kit....if it’s the Firestone kit

    Welcome from NY.

    You probably have to buy 2 new bump stops because the factory ones were removed or cut off to install the airbags.

    Deflate to the 5psi. I've got the Firestone Ride Rite airbags, at 5psi, it rides as if they weren't on there.
