Firestone Air Spring Air Line Service and Compressor Kits for 2018 Toyota Tundra

Question

Question:

My Tundra has Firestone air bags. I was in deep woods and my air line and T were ripped out when I went over a stump hidden by snow. Live and learn. Is Tee part F3025-1 the right one? I will be more careful routing the air lines this time.

Firestone union T fitting # F3025-1 is the correct one for your air bag kit # F2445 but since your air lines were also potentially damaged you may want to consider Air Line Service Kit # F2012 which includes the T, air lines, elbow fittings and Schrader valves. I suggest this just in case, since that once you're into the repair job you may find other items may have been damaged. It's not a terrible idea to have these parts around as spares.

While you're doing this fix-up job you might also consider addition of an on-board compressor kit. Compressors give you the freedom to experiment with bag pressure quickly and easily, while you drive. Simply touch a button to add or reduce spring pressure to suit your driving conditions for any given road (or off-road) conditions. I recommend Firestone Air Command I compressor # F2158 which is highlighted in the linked review and installation videos.

We have the Firestone Air Line Service Kit part #F2012 which comes with 18 foot of new air line, a couple elbow fittings, a union tee in case you want both bags inflated to same pressure, and a couple inflation valves.

The valve core can sometimes get stuck inside the valve stem due to corrosion build-up or being inserted incorrectly. This would then mean you could not put air in or take air out of the system. The good news is that this is pretty easy to fix and…

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…

It sounds like the purpose of getting the air helper spring would be to counteract the 1 inch compression you're getting in your rear suspension caused by the pin weight of your 5th wheel. If that's the case, I believe that the AirLift 5000…

Answer 12

Since the pin weight of your camper is 2.1k, I recommend going with the LoadLifter 5000 opposed to the 7500. While technically there is not reason you couldn't use the 7500 kit, it really is not necessary for a camper like yours. Generally the…
