Hey Thanks! I bought a small compressor that plugs into the cig 12 volt. It has a digital display that inflates to the pressure I set it to. A lot cheaper than the onboard system. Zip ties were included.
I just installed this kit on my 2014 f150. Your installation seemed to go fairly simple...what's shown anyway. I installed mine by myself and between stuck wheels, bumper stop welded nuts breaking loose and repeated air leaks, this 1-2 hour job took me 6 hours. Only way this kit could be installed in 1 hour by yourself is if you have the right tools and Divine Intervention. Those tabbed nuts are a pita plus the u bolts are insanely long. I suggest to anyone wanting to install this kit, is to invest in an electric or pneumatic ratchet with standard and deep well sockets.
Great install video. I installed the Firestones on my 2016 F-150 that has a 4" suspension lift. I opted to also install the wireless compressor system from Air Lift for the convenience. You can control the PSI settings from either the Air Lift remote, or the Air Lift app on your phone.
Excellent video! Thanks for the pointers on DS vs PS part numbers. I’ll be installing these on my 18 F150 once they arrive. Best video I’ve seen so far on the install.
Air bags need to be kept between 5 and 100 psi. I usually keep about 10 psi in them with no load. When towing I put enough in to level the truck. That will vary with each load or trailer.
I'm installing on a 2020 so not the same at all, but still a good watch, thanks for posting. I was hoping that at the end of the video you'de take her for a spin and let us know how they did. Maybe even what your pressures were on that trailer to get back to standard ride height. Also, by leaving the 10 PSI vs the 5 PSI, did that change stock ride height, and how was the ride?
The air bags are awesome. They level out the truck nicely. Without the bags the front end seemed really light and the front tires started to wear on the outer edges quickly. Highly recommend them. Save money and DIY it!
Absolutely worth it! I wore out the outside of my front tires when the truck was squatting. Steering was real light and the truck wandered on the road. Now with level ride it's a dream to tow with.
Curious if your towing experience did or didn’t really improve after using air bags. The Ecoboost is a great truck with a lot of features so I’m curious if you feel like it was worth adding to it (in hindsight). Beautiful truck by the way
Hey Thanks Chris! This absolutely made towing easier. The truck rides nice and level. The best part is that the front end feels grounded. Without the bags the front felt light like I was on ice. It also wore out the outer edges of the front tires.
Thanks for sharing this video , didn't see any safety Jack stands under the axle ? I keep the little ones away from my truck when its jacked up , accidents happen quickly. Did the airbags improve your hauling experience ?
Great video. Best one I have seen yet. Are you just using an air compressor to inflate your bags? Also did the kit include zip ties?

Good content very informative. Next time I'd work on the camera man's focus! ;)

Hey! Thanks Richard! Much appreciated!
@@grampzquad hey I just installed them today. That video helped out a ton! Thanks
@@richardcabrera1583 NIce!
Well done. That looks like a nice design compared to others on the market.
Great video with lots of details. Much appreciated. Tell me how much is the GVWR of your trailer?
Sorry I didn't see if you also used a weight distribution hitch as well. if so which do you have? thanks
Hello sir, where can I get this piece to order?
I'm not being critical but my lord seems like a large trailer for a small truck.
Great Video. How is the ride quality when unloaded?
Thanks
Same as stock. I just keep 4 or 5 psi in the bags with no load.
Don't they have jack stands in Canada?
I surely do appreciate your concern. Jack stand police out in force! Take another look!
@@grampzquad I saw as far as you taking the tire off, then getting under the truck without jack stands. No need to watch any further.
@@bartgoins1782 Thanks for your concern. Much appreciated!
Where's your jackstands?
Ooops, my bad I saw one.
Did it make a difference with sag
100% Amazing product!
Is the Jack under axel or on body so axel can drop down
It's under the axel by the differential. There was enough room to do it this way. Thanks for asking!
is that the ecoboost?
3.5 ecoboost! Love it!
@@grampzquad ive got a 2015, love it too....pulls like a beast!
What psi do you find works well for pulling your camper
Air bags need to be kept between 5 and 100 psi. I usually keep about 10 psi in them with no load. When towing I put enough in to level the truck. That will vary with each load or trailer.

How is it not the same at all? 2020 falls in the same generation as this guys truck. 18-20 are the same
Which fender liners are you using on your F150?

Excellent video.
Thank you SV!
Enjoyed your DIY, great job. Are you supporting your truck with more then just the floor jack?
I have jack stands under the rear axle. Safety 1st! Thanks for watching!!
How is the system functioning for you? Have you noticed a huge ride difference?
The air bags are awesome. They level out the truck nicely. Without the bags the front end seemed really light and the front tires started to wear on the outer edges quickly. Highly recommend them. Save money and DIY it!
@@grampzquad Nice video! Do you also use a WDH also? This the route I want to go as well.
@@briankirkvold3339 WDH is a must with this big trailer!
Whats you opinion? Worth it? Did it make a difference?
Absolutely worth it! I wore out the outside of my front tires when the truck was squatting. Steering was real light and the truck wandered on the road. Now with level ride it's a dream to tow with.

What a good question Chris asked you and your answer was in the answer I was looking for, thanks for showing us..... update video for the follow up 😉
Nice video
Where’s your jackstands man !
I did eventually see one . Don’t think it was there in the beginning but man please be safe .
Very helpful video
Thank you Gary!
Thanks for sharing this video , didn't see any safety Jack stands under the axle ? I keep the little ones away from my truck when its jacked up , accidents happen quickly. Did the airbags improve your hauling experience ?
Thanks for the pointer....look again!
Looks to be leaning the wrong direction. You would think they want them lean toward the front of. vehicle
What you talking about?
@@grampzquad I think heeans the bracket on the bottom of the bags, how one side is longer then the other where it sits on the leaf springs.
Jesus Christ that's some lengthy trailer
Getting the keys in the frame and lining them up. He's not showing!!!
