    Using them as bump stops will kill the bag over time. May take a while.

    Daystar cradles are sweet as the allow the rear axle to get full down travel. Using Firestone bags with the cradles voids their warrant.

    If you are prerunning then yeah i could see that but daily driving and normal wheeling wont be an issue. Cradle voiding warranty is true but if you have every called firestone customer service then you wont expect them to back any warranty anyway.. hahaha

    This makes me wonder if I should have done the air ride brand. Lifetime warranty and supposedly good customer service

    Like i said, no issues in two years wheeling hard, daily driving and towing. Proofs in the pudding

    Agreed. I don’t think it will be an issue. I plan to line the bottom of the cradle with something soft, quiet and durable. Maybe a rubber spray or yoga mat

    I didn't realize they came out with a new 2407 kit...

    I have the double convolute bags, not the tapered ones.

    Airbags worked like a charm today. Probably had close to 900lbs in bed and another 500-700 in the trailer. 20-30 pumps with a little handheld bicycle pump get great
