Can Firestone Ride-Rite System Work With Companion 5Th Wheel System On 2010 Toyota Tundra
Question:
I am looking a purchasing firestone air bags F2445 for my 2010 toyota tundra. The truck currently has a BandH companion fifth wheel plate with no rails in truck bed. From looking at the instructions for the air bags and looking at how the fifthwheel plate is mounted the air bags will not mount to the truck frame due to the fifth wheel mounting bracket. The hole for the air bag fill fitting has a bolt in it for the fifth wheel bracket. Are there other opptions to mount these air bags?

Expert Reply:
I do have a solution for a suspension enhancement for your 2010 Toyota Tundra, but the Firestone Ride-Rite, part # F2445 will unfortunately not work due to the Companion installation.
I recommend the Timbren Vehicle Suspension, part # TTORTUN4 for your truck. These do not effect the ride of your Tundra when it is empty. Since they work independently, they help compensate for off-center loads. Another nice feature is the easy-install for this system. They simply replace the bump stops you have on your Tundra.
