Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle
Great as always, this is my second Firestone Coil-Rite. I had one on my crown vic before and they work great, pretty straight forward install. If you’re lazy like me and didn’t want to remove the shocks then use wd40 to help slip it in between
Exactly what I needed, work great, Thank You etrailer.com!

Air Lift 1000 Air Helper Springs for Coil Springs - Rear
Just installed my new set of air bags (AL60815 Air Lift AirLift 1000 Air Helper Springs for Coil Springs) on my 2008 Odyssey. I purchased this model as a replacement to the previous air bags (F4179 Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs) that I purchased from etrailer four years ago. I had to replace them because this winter one of the push on fittings broke off one of the air bags. I have been using those air bags for four years towing my 2200 lbs tent trailer. The only complaint I had was that sometimes air would seep out after towing for a few hours. I suspected it was from the push on fittings. That was the reason I choose this model as they have barb fittings and spring clamps. Very positive connections and tight fits. Installation was very easy as all the holes in the tables were already done from the last install. 1. Somethings to keep in mind, if your shocks are a few years old consider changing them at the same time. 2. Remember to support the table with a jack while removing and installing the retaining bolt for the table. Failure to do that will damage the threads on the bolt and rapidly decompress the spring. 3. When drilling the hole in the table don’t rush. Centering the hole so the valve on the air bag does not force against the edge is very important. Luckily there is a template in the instructions booklet. 4. Running the air line to the passenger side bag can be done through the center cross member. I mounted my valve inside the van to keep it clean and out of the way. Using the tee to connect both bags to a single valve will facilitate inflation and ensure they are both at the same pressure. I will be ordering another set of these air bags when I replace this Odyssey with a newer model in a few years. Kit is very complete. All the parts I needed and did not have to run to the auto parts store. Didn't use the heat shield because where I ran the line it is protected from the exhaust pipe.
Great bang for the buck and I had no problems installing myself along with new rear shocks. I had my doubts, but we just completed a 2 week trip fully loaded and towing our popup camper, and they still held 22 psi after all that (started with just under 30 psi so no real leaks!). Definitely improved the ride height and overall handing in all conditions.

Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Double Convoluted - Rear Axle
After emails with firestone, in which many disagreements came to light. My vehicle is a 2002 f350 dually Crew cab 8ft bed, completely stock no alterations at all. First issue was the emergency brake Cable was in the way. I rerouted the cable sent photos to firestone. The person in which I communicated with, stated that my brake line was not stock OEM. The emergency brake cable was the issue not brake line and the person at firestone doesn't know the difference between brake cable and line. In the photo sent showed my rear brake line that was just replaced and it was shiny. The brake line replacement was OEM. The brake line was not an issue at all. I have photos showing how we had to modify the firestone air bags set up. I welded straight to the axle. The bags will work now after hours of mods....if anyone else has a vehicle like the one stated above please let them know mods will be required. This isn't my first issue with firestone air bags. I had to prove to firestone that I had a pin hole in a seam on a air bag. I had to submerge the air bag in water, take a video and send it to them. They did send a replacement after a while. Just had to say this.......
2003 Ford F250 CC FX4. This kit came with the wrong lower and saddle brackets. After reading the other reviews, I see I’m not the only one with this problem. I had to do heavy alteration and remanufactured the brackets to fit. Otherwise I’d give it fives stars.

Air Lift 1000 Air Helper Springs for Coil Springs - Rear
I purchased this product for some additional support for our Hummer H2 when we are towing our travel trailer. I removed the springs for easier installation of each bag. I am 66 years old and total time from start to completion was 3 1/2 hours from set up to clean up !
Put these on 07 tahoe. I pull a camper and put 400lbs of tools in back of tahoe. With just the tools I noticed it help put more weight on front wheels. I have not pulled camper yet but with just the minimum 5lbs of pressure it helped with the tools. It took me about 4 hrs to install by myself on the ground. The hardest part was getting it pushed into the coil springs. I ended up using a ratchet strap to help push it in. It was fun trying to get the hose connected afterward, could not see, had to feel and take a picture to make sure it was fully seated.
