    If so which model?

    I’m buying a new Back Series expedition Patron trailer with full articulating hitch. I just upgraded my rear springs to OME Dakar springs. Anybody running airbags too? If so what type/model?

    I can’t run WD due to the articulation hitch.

    Thanks

    Probably going to get a few responses for Firestone bags with Daystar cradles.

    I think the Firestone part number is 2407. Dont remember the Daystar part number, and my googlefu has run out of juice for the day.
    Most places (summit, jegs, sd truck, etrailer, Amazon, fleabay, autozone, and so on) are places you can order it from. Just a matter of looking for the best price.

    Hi,
    I do on my 2nd gen dbl cab long bed. I use the Ride-Rite 2407 with 2 inch spacers 2366 and 2506 axle brackets. So far so good, makes the rear a bit stiff when it is empty (expected) but otherwise great.

    Are you running spacers under your springs?

    No spacers under the springs. My Dakars HD gave me a 2.75 inch lift. I do not have the Daystars - so instead, according to Firestone, I should have the airbag spacers not to stretch the bags too much (not sure if it is really needed though). I’ll see if I can take a pic to explain better. All part numbers in my prev post are Firestone’s.

    One more piece of info. I first looked at the AirLift solution as you could keep your bump stops, which I kind of liked as a backup if a an airbag would blow. But they hade no air bags spacers which by my measurements would make them too short for the Dakars?
