    That's a link to the one previously posted in this thread and someone said it looked like the wrong one. I'm expecting to see the traditional "double pancake " look. Not just a smooth straight cylinder. Can someone clarify if there's a difference?

    Nice bro!

    Did you have them installed? If so, how much? Also, how much psi are you running in them?

    I've been running 20psi with no load, and add about 5psi when towing. Really doesn't take much to level the rear. Doubt I'll ever need more than 50psi!

    I love my bags. I run around empty with 10-15 psi. I pump up to 50 psi when pulling this hoe...

    Thanks! They work great. My driver-side bag leaked right after install, but I tightened the fitting some more and all is well. Now I just need a supercharger to help on the hills.

    edit: here is a crappy pic of how it sat before the bags

    Wow! What a difference! +1 on the supercharger lol...

    My driver side air bag had a slow leak also. I tightened the air fitting some more, but still having a very slow leak. Gonna try some Teflon tape this weekend; that should do it :)

    since this is the most recent airbag thread, i guess i'll ask here.
    I was thinking of getting some of these for my 5 lugger because i've loaded the bed up to it's limit and even a bit beyond :eek: and i probably see myself doing it again in the future (i know, poor truck) so it would be nice to have a pair of these so my measly bump stops quit beating up my axle.
    But I just wanted to confirm, are these the ones for the 5 lugs? Because I saw them selling different ones for the prerunners and 4x4's
    $469 Firestone W217602410 Ride-Rite Kit for Toyota Tacoma 2WD
    http://www.amazon.com/Firestone-W21...qid=1366864800&sr=1-1&keywords=firestone+2410
    Also, how would it work with an aal? I'm thinking of installing the fatbob's lift kit later on and wanted to know if air bags would work with it. Are they even compatible with lift kits?
    sorry for the thread jack OP :eek:

    5 luggers use a different kit from the 4x4's and Prerunner's.

    You can get different sized spacers, depending how much lift you have, that fit between the bag and the frame bracket. I am using my bags with 1.5" AAL's but no spacers.

    Just a couple of questions before I make the purchase...thanks in advance for everyone's help! I wanted to make sure I order the right set, I have a 2010 PreRunner. It looks the 4WD kit is the one I want?

    Also, any problems running these with the Toytec ultimate lift kit (add a leaf in the rear)?

    Again...thanks for the advice!
