Air lift or Firestone?
I want to install air bags to add capacity to the rear axle. Can any one help me decide between Firestone or Air Lift? Good ol JC Whitney has the best price i can find so far.

Thanks
Dave

I never had a problem with Firestone bags. But, I've also never really heard anything bad about Airlift either.

I am happy with my Firestone's after 3 years hauling ~2-3000 lbs of stone and dirt around town, fairly consistently, they have held up really well.

The Airlift bags are made by Firestone.
