Do Air Bag Kits have to Have Equal Length Air Line Ran to Each Air Bag

Question

Question:

Hi, I purchased Firestone air lift bags, F4174, and a union tee, F3025-1, for a 2012 Rav4 V6. Unfortunately, the mechanic did not cut the air lines at equal lengths. Will this cause an issue? Will each bag still inflate to approximately the same PSI?

You will be totally fine. Air pressure will equalize through the entire length of the lines and air bags on your setup. Having one line longer than the other would not cause either of the bags to have different pressure.
