Getting Sled Ready

Hey all,

New to the forum, though I lurked a fair amount while I was shopping for my truck. Picked up a 2014 Double Cab LB TRD Sport a couple weeks ago- insanely stoked!!

Hoping to tap into your expertise as I get ready for the winter. I'll be hauling my 165 track Ski-Doo Summit around the Sea-to-Sky. I've got a really cool sled deck lined up, will post photos in this thread when I pick it up. I'm looking for suggestions for airbags– a lot of people around here use them to support their sleds, but I'm pretty new to this and I need to up my knowledge before I drop in on anything.

Seems like the Firestone Ride Rite system with a 2 inch leveling kit up front is the way to go? I was told to look for a dual line fill system, apparently people run into balancing problems with the single line. The Firestones run two lines, correct? Anyone have negative experiences with Firestone?

Are people running the air bags without a leveling kit? Any reason not to aside from cosmetics?

I purchased a warranty for the truck, and I'm seeing an exclusion I'm concerned about. It excludes coverage for vehicles with "modifications or alterations to the powetrain, suspension (including tire of wheel sizes or offsets) or an exhaust system not approved by the vehicle manufacturer. A front leveling kit of up to 2" is allowed." Is the Ride Rite system considered a suspension modification or alteration? How can I find out if it's approved by Toyota?

Would the airbag/leveling kit set-up change the suspension enough that I should worry about added wear and tear if I don't make any other changes? Do I need to think about added stress on any components in my suspension?

Are there any other mods or precautions I should take getting ready for hauling a sled around? Advice from other second-gen owners with sleds?

Thanks in advance,
