Air Lift or Firestone Air Bags for a 2015 Toyota Sienna
Question:
2015 Toyota Sienna FWD rear air bag helper springs. It seems like the Firestone kit is more preferred as compared to the AirLift kit due to the material of the air bags, but the AirLift kit has more reviews than the Firestone kit. Is there a warranty difference between the two brands? The Firestone kit does not come with a heat shield that the AirLift kit comes with. Is one kit easier to install than the other? Are there any maintenance issues needed for either kit? Thanks for your expert response!

When comparing the Air Lift # AL60732 and Firestone # F4155 kits for your 2015 Toyota Sienna, it's true that we typically mention the Firestone bags have a better construction, but that's normally with their standard air bags. For the coil-type air springs the quality is essentially the same. For this application I actually like the Air Lift kit better so that's what I recommend going with.
Since these kits have air bags and air lines involved both off them have the same amount of maintenance and rules. You'll be keeping at least 5 psi of air in the bags to make sure they don't get pinched, and you need to periodically check the connections and bags to ensure there aren't any leaks.
I also recommend picking up the Bulldog Winch Portable Air Compressor # BDW41002 so you can fill up your air bags as well as your tires wherever you're at.
