FireStone R4 Air Ride Kits....

[Paul@CP_Trucks]

Iirc they have a dual needle psi gauge I did a install of helper springs and it came in the kit. I plumbed it to read tank psi and air bag psi. Like the gauges on older big rigs for primary and secondary psi. But looks sweet!

You are thinking of a regular air bag kit not the R4 kit.

I don't have the part number but 10psi...why?

Because I would like to know their weight capacity and spring rate.

Factory carrying capacity the truck is rated for....

Can you give me a price. 99 F350 4x4 dually thanks

Probably not given that a lot of trucks use the same bag.

See page 35 of this.

And what about the spring rate ?

Firestone publishes load curves and such for their bags. If we had an air spring part number, we could find these things out.

What truck would you be installing this on? I will see if I can get a bag part number for you.

Paul this kit looks sick. Is that the customer you were telling me about at the North Texas Rally?

A picture of the Firestone tag on the top of the bag itself would be great.

Let me know how this works or the ride is after. Maybe I can sell this to some of our horse trailer / over sized 5th wheel customers.

He LOVES it for pulling his wife isn't so much on the empty ride its a little bouncy. We could probably adjust it out some but its set just were he wants it.


It's pretty awesome for hooking up to trailers. The kneel feature is pretty slick. Takes alot of work out of running the jacks up and down on your trailer.
