    Anyone know of any hook ups or discounts?

    I want the 2407 Ride-Rite kit for my 2017 4x4

    I also need a set of the Daystar air bag cradles and a Firestone dual switch single gauge air ride controller.

    Thanks!

    $310 Amazon incl free shipping.
    Also good to have the air bag cradles (Daystar KU09140BK) to prevent stretching the bags on over-extension.
    Still need to fab up some plates to bolt to the the axle supports as there's a gap of about 1cm.

    I can probably get you a deal on one. Shoot me a PM with the part number and your zip code to remind me and I will get you a quote tomorrow.

    Firestone engineers have released a warning to not use the daystar cradles with their product, as it might see forces it was not designed for.

    Many seem to run them with no issues, but I think it is wise to go with engineers on this.

    Check the box contents... Before you start taking everything apart!

    Damn Firestone lack of QC left me with one wrong size air connector. The right one is the correct size.

    Occasionally Amazon has "open box" kits. I watched for a little while and ended up getting one for $240. Edit: there is one available now for $246....

    I ran two separate air lines. I know a lot of people do it, but putting a T fitting didn't seem like a good idea to me - around corners you'd have a reverse swaybar effect,

    With the exception of one large nut, all of the hardware included with mine was prevailing torque nuts. Those &*#$@ nuts along with the fact that you're working in small spaces, made the kit sort of a pain to install.

    Same shit happened to me! Infuriating.

    It really was a pain in the ass, for these exact reasons.

    Anybody have a line on where to get something like the airbag airsupply connector?
    Time is tight and I can't wait for a Firestone warranty claim.

    Street Elbow 1/8 in MIP press-fit

    Googling away...

    ps - has anyone had a successful claim for replacement parts and how long from start to finish?

    Called tech support at Firestone and spoke with Tyler.
    Didn't miss a beat as he asked for name, address, and phone number.
    They must get a number of these types of calls.
    Mailing them out, should receive in a day or two.

    Firestone would not help me ... and were pretty rude about it, too.

    They will not honor any Amazon purchases, apparently. Luckily, Amazon just shipped me another kit with a paid label to return the other.
