Recommended Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs and Compressor for 2018 Toyota Tacoma

Question

Question:

Looking to buy a Firestone air bag kit and compressor for my 2018 Toyota Tacoma. I pull an 8 enclosed trailer on a daily basis and would like to be able to level out the truck stance. Could you recommend which part #s to be a complete system? Thank you.

Firestone offers two different Ride-Rite air helper springs for a 2018 Toyota Tacoma. The kit you'll need will depend on where your rear leaf springs sit in relation to the axle. If the axle is ABOVE the spring pack, use part # F2410. If the axle is BELOW the spring pack, use # F2407. For a compressor system, I'd recommend the Firestone # F2158. You'll find the compressor system very convenient, you'll be able to add or remove air from the system with a flick of a rocker switch.

I'll link to some install and demonstration videos that you might find helpful.
