How To Install Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs As a Single Path System
Question:
Should I use a T fitting so I only have one valve? Any pros and cons to consider? I’m guessing uneven loads are benefit of separate lines. If I do use fitting, do I take lines need to be same length?

The Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs like part # F2430 all come setup to be installed as a dual path system which means you can inflate each air bag individually. That said, you can install a simple tee fitting to use the system as a single path which means the air bags inflate as one. For this, you'll need the Firestone Union Tee for 1/4" Tubing part # F3025-1.
The air lines don't need to be the same length. The vast majority of the time, you'll be using the system as a single path so this is a pretty common change to make for people using the airbags for towing.
