Can Tee Fitting be Installed to Fill Firestone Air Bags at the Same Time on a 2018 Toyota Tacoma
Question:
I have the Firestone Ride-Rite kit on my 2018 Toyota Tacoma and I am wondering if it is okay to use a tee so that I only have one valve to fill the bags up at the same time.

Yes, you can install a tee like part # F3025-1 so that the air bags on your Firestone Ride-Rite system (part # F2410 for 2WD or part # F2407 for 4WD) fill up at the same time for your 2018 Toyota Tacoma.
It is worth noting that by going this route if you were to have more weight on one side of your pickup it could potentially cause air to transfer from one air bag to the other if they aren't at full capacity. To prevent this you can use a single function compressor kit like the Firestone Air Command I # F2158.
This not only allows you to fill the bags up at the same time, but it also lets you fill and monitor the air bags from inside your cab. This kit also includes check valves which eliminates the possibility of air transferring from one bag to the other.
Attached is an installation video on using the union tee during the installation, a picture of the tee installed, and a review video for the compressor kit for you to check out.
