    Hello, new to Tacoma World. Thinking of getting a pair of airbags for my 2013 TRD Sport. The truck has a 2.25 leveling kit installed. I am not a heavy off-roader. I do pull a Off road teardrop trailer. With the trailer hooked up and gear in back of the truck sometimes I get a significant sag. Are these airbags a good add on and do they last. Thanks All,!!

    You can go with SS-6 bags from Slam Specialties to handle the weight/towing of the trailer. The Firestone bags will require higher psi for lifting. Just a suggestion.

    So if you have the ride-rite kit, then probably have 6" bags?

    Ride Rite airbags with onboard compressor, Trail Ridge towing mirrors, 28,000 gwv external transmission cooler, Roll n Lock bed cover.
    I just installed them on my 2018 TRD OR 4x4, what a bitch! I would strongly suggest replacing the lock nuts with lock washers and bolts instead that would make the install much easier.The driver's side is very hard to reach because the gas tank is in the way.
