Expert Reply:

If you are installing just the Firestone Ride-Rite airbags # F2255 without an on-board air compressor like the # F2158, then I would estimate that it should take about 2 hours to install the kit. This estimate is for someone with some mechanical ability, all of the proper tools and automotive experience working at home in the driveway or garage, plus having someone around to help.

A professional may take less time depending on how many similar installations they have done. Individual results will vary so that 2 hours is just an estimate. I have included links to the installation instructions and a video showing an installation for you.

I've linked an installation video of these bags on a similar Excursion for you to use as a guide and see what is entailed.
