Ron, I am using the Firestone Ride Rite air bags. I have only had them for a few months but am extremely happy with their performance so far.
Rick.

Ron

We are using the Firestone air bags SKU#2250C no drill, which I ordered over the INTERNET, which I purchased in Texas and installed ourselves. We have run about 10,000 miles since and it seams to ride better. I used one air valve to air them both, I don't recommend doing that. What I notice was when we were in the Rocky Mountains and hard curves, the air pressure would go to the lighter side, so I will change it to 2 air valves. Just my opinion.

Larry

airlifts, without the compressor, but with the separate fill valves underneath the wheel wells. Makes a big difference with a load on!

We have the Airlifts with the onboard compressor also. It has a dual switch and gauge for each side. I really like this set up as it makes it easy to fill and deflate right from the cab of the truck.

Ride-Rites on our truck. Third truck with the same brand. Very reliable. I mounted the two Shrader valves on the bezel next to the receiver hitch where the factory trailer wiring plug-in is located. Easy to get to; easy installation & out of the way so they will not get bumped & broken off.

Air Lift with on board compressor. I think I beat Camping Worlds price, but I can't remember where I got them.
May have been either TruckAddon.com or Summitt racing.
They work great and love being able to tweek them on the road with the compressor.
