Pacbrake makes air bags???
After breaking four bolts and ripping the upper bracket like tissue paper, I gave up on air bags and went to Timbrens and wish I had done that long ago. The work great for carrying my 5K load.

I've had my Firestones on for 2 years now with no issues. They were available locally that's why i went with Firestones.One ofthe best mods i have done to my truck,levels it up with the trailer or a load of gravel in the box.I have them on all 4 corners of my truck since it is 2wd and i made my own fill/drain setup.

I have the Firestones. I thought about the Pacbrakes,but they were so new,that nobody could give me any feedback on them.
Firestones are very popular and its rare that someone has something bad to say about them.

while pacbrake offers a great line of product, i personally dont have any experience with their airbags. i have the firestones and have had nothing but good things to say about them. i would imagine pacbrakes bags would be a great product though

I put the Firestone Ride Rites two years ago when my truck was new. I have had NO problems with them, they do their job well.
If I was getting a set today, I'd buy the PacBrake Air Bags. I am very pleased with their air brake, I have their in-cab control for my air bags, ALL QUALITY stuff.
I believe the PacBrake has a sturdier mounting assy and better bags.

The Pacbrake bag brackets appear to be a much higher quality piece than the Firestone brackets. I had to grind a little on the Firestone brackets to get them to fit right. If I was to do it all over again, Pacbrake, no doubt about it.
