A single path compressor kit has one outlet basically and can only fill up the air bags to the same pressure. Whereas a dual path can have two different air pressures running in either bag.
The part # AL25690 that you referenced is a great setup for a single path whereas the part # AL25572 is a very similar setup with a dual path ability. view full answer...
The only difference between the # F2615 and the # F2710 Firestone Ride-Ride Air Suspension kits is the capacity. The # 2615 has a 5000 lb capacity and the # F2710 has a 7500 lb capacity. Other than that, both are pretty similar. Both are fits for your 2018 Ram 3500, both are compatible with your fifth wheel hitch and both install to the underside of the frame member and the axle, just inside of the leaf spring.
A compressor kit is also available, part # F2097. The compressor kit allows... view full answer...
The biggest difference between Firestone Ride-Rite and Air Lift LoadLifter air bag kits is that Firestone uses double convoluted bags that have 4 layers of reinforced rubber and are installed on the plates using a rolled crimp seal that keeps them from getting pinched. The LoadLifter kits are good as well but they don't have as heavy-duty rubber as the Ride-Rite option which is why I recommend going with Ride-Rite (Firestone) over LoadLifter (Air Lift).

When comparing the Firestone Air Command II Compressor System w F3 Wireless Remote, Heavy Duty Compressor, Tank, Hose - Dual Path # F2591 to the Air Lift WirelessONE Compressor System for Air Helper Springs - Remote - Bluetooth - Single Path # AL25980 there are some significant differences.
Both are wireless systems that help you adjust your air pressure but that is where the similarities end. Your needs will either justify the cost difference in one direction or the other but you need... view full answer...
Really good questions. And I understand being a bit skeptical of the RoadActive (RAS) suspension system, and it does have its pros and cons for your 2023 GMC Sierra 1500 when compared to the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2609.
Will the RAS help with sag? Yes, but to a point. They will level you out if your truck sags up to 2 to 3 inches; anything more than that you won't be completely level. And keep in mind there are different RAS kits for your '23 Sierra 1500 depending on... view full answer...
The advantage of the AirLift air spring systems that have an internal jounce bumper is that in the event of an air leak your Ram 1500 would not lose all of the extra suspension support. You would still have the internal jounce bumper as a fail-safe to absorb some bumps and shocks, although the adjustable leveling ability of air bags would be gone until you could repair the fault.
Kit # AL88365 which fits both 2WD and 4WD versions of your Ram 1500 includes these jounce bumpers. The two... view full answer...
If your weight distribution system is rated appropriately for your actual loaded tongue weight and installed correctly it should not make your ride particularly harsh, but you can soften some of the effect of that extra weight on your truck's suspension with a rear axle helper spring kit. Suspension enhancement kits are not a substitute for a properly rated weight distribution setup but they can help restore more of the usual ride quality you're accustomed to when not towing nearly 9K in... view full answer...
The correct Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs for your 2022 Ram 3500 is part # AL57531 - this will work as long as you don't have a factory air suspension system. I also recommend picking up an air compressor kit like the Air Lift Load Controller System # AL25856 so you can monitor and adjust the air in both bags as needed and you don't have to plan out any stops just to mess with your air bags.
The parts # AL57575 and # AL86KV you referenced are essentially the same thing... view full answer...
Each different type of rear axle suspension enhancement product offers certain advantages. Air bag kits from Firestone and others allow adjustment to suit a particular load, while jounce springs like the Timbren and Tork Lift kits are less costly and easier to install, and they leave your unloaded ride quality unaffected. If your load is pretty constant at around 3K jounce springs are my recommendation but if you sometimes haul without towing, and tow without hauling, the adjustability... view full answer...
First one reason there are so many kits for your 2021 Chevrolet Silverado is due to the Trail Boss coming with a suspension lift right from the factory. So half the available kits can only be used on the Trail Boss trim level.
There are going to be 2 kits that are available. First is the kit I always recommend using the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate. These air bags have internal jounce bumpers which help reduce bounce that you may get from the additional load. The bumpers also help... view full answer...
The Air Lift and Firestone Coil-Style air springs that fit your 2013 Toyota Sequoia are different colors so that they do stand out actually. Coil-style springs install inside your coil suspension so they are a bit more hidden while standard air bags install above the axle so they are seen a bit easier.
If you want suspension enhancement that is a black color then I recommend the Timbren kit # TTORSEQ1. This simply replaces the factory bump stops on your vehicle so your suspension gets... view full answer...
Apparently the factory air suspension on the newer Rams such as a 2016 Ram 3500 is not a true air suspension system. Rather it is a hybrid of air bag helper springs and leaf spring suspension. So if you were to add air bags to a truck that did not come with the factory "air suspension" then it would be a similar set up.
On the 1500s it is a different system, a truer air suspension.
For Air Lift system # AL57295 fits 4x4 models and # AL57297 fits 2-wheel drive models. If you want to add... view full answer...
Between the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Double Convoluted - Rear Axle # F2582 and Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs with Internal Jounce Bumpers - Rear Axle # AL88385 for your 2018 Ford F-150 XLT 4WD Crew Cab with the 3.5L Eco Boost engine I recommend the # F2582.
While both options have a limited lifetime warranty, the air springs used on the # F2582 are a higher quality making them less likely to rupture, and a crimped to the metal end plates to keep them... view full answer...
The Air Command I Xtreme Duty Compressor with Analog Gauge, Air Tank, and 25' Hose - Single Path # F2543 and the Firestone Air Command I - Analog - Xtra-Duty Compressor w/Air Tank and 25' Hose - 150 psi # F2266 are very similar systems from the same manufacturer. The difference is in the speed of the compressor, size of air tank, tire inflation fitting with gauge and bag that come with the larger kit. The compressor is twice as fast at getting to the 150 psi and the reservoir tank is... view full answer...
I'd be more than happy to assist you in figuring out whether you'd rather install air shocks or air bags on your 2004 Ford F-150!
From my understanding the difference between both systems is that the air shocks will replace components of your OEM suspension while the air bags just replace the factory bump stop which is essentially just a small piece of rubber that keeps your leaf springs/axle from making direct contact with your vehicle frame. Aside from that they can be monitored and... view full answer...
The two most popular suspension enhancement options for a 2014 GMC Sierra 2500 are the Timbren Springs part # TGMRCK25D and Firestone Air Bags part # F2613. I recommend the air bags as they are adjustable so you can always get the perfect level of comfort and support. The air bags will also get you closer to level when compared to the springs above. The benefit of the Timbrens is that they are easier to install and don't require any adjustments.
If you do go with the air bags, you can... view full answer...
The only difference between the Viair Portable RV Air Compressor Kit part # VA39WR and Viair Portable Air Compressor part # VA96WR is that the RV Air Compressor has a longer 30' hose so you can reach your towable tires easier whereas the Standard Air Compressor has a shorter 25' hose. The both use the same compressor. view full answer...
So the difference between the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TGMRCK15S and SuperSprings Custom Suspension Stabilizer and Sway Control Kit # SSA28 are the benefits they offer and what you are looking to get out of an enhancement system.
The Timbrens # TGMRCK15S are jounce springs and how they work is simple but effective. When you have additional weight at the rear of your truck, like when towing, it will sag, causing the front of the truck to rise. This causes your front... view full answer...
Between air bag kits and jounce springs like the Timbren # TFR250SDG, which fits both 2WD and 4WD versions of your 2014 Ford F-250, the Timbrens offer the advantages of lower cost, easier installation and zero maintenance. You give up the adjustability of air bags but you get to keep your normal ride quality when the truck is not loaded with trailer pin weight.
Timbrens offer progressive resistance, so when you're not hauling or towing they will not alter your ride, but when you do need... view full answer...
The better option to help minimize the level of squat you are expecting on your 2014 Dodge Ram 1500 while towing is the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System part # TDR1500DQ. The Timbrens are made of a much stiffer material in comparison to the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs part # SSR-307-47 which will in turn provide you with more support. However, while engaged the SumoSprings will provide a slightly softer ride in comparison to the Timbrens.
