Installation Information For Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs # F4134 on 1999 Ford Expedition
Question:
I have two questions. Do you have to remove the springs to get the air bags inside the coil springs. Is one brand Firestone or Air Lift ....better quality?

Expert Reply:
You will not need to remove the springs on your 1999 Ford Expedition in order to install the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs # F4134. You will insert the deflated air bags into the coiled springs from the bottom as shown in the graphic I have provided. I have also provided a link to the full installation instructions for this product.
These air springs will help reduce tire wear but will not increase your vehicles weight-carrying capacity. The weight capacity of these springs are 500-1000 lbs, but do not exceed your vehicles recommended weight limit.
To answer your second question, I would go with Firestone over Air Lift AirLift 1000 Air Helper Springs # AL61792. Both have been highly-rated by our customers but with Firestone having been in the industry so long and the leader in air bag suspension, I would go with them.
