Daystar Cradles Necessary?

$360 Firestone Ride-Rite Rear Kit fits 2005 2023 Tacoma 2WD 4WD | Enhances Ride Comfort and Control, Eliminates Sag, Stabilizes Unbalanced Loads | 2407

2407 Kit you plan on installing? Are you installing on a stock Tacoma or does it have an aftermarket suspension installed? Curious how this kit would work with a 2016 OR with the Kings 2" adjustable suspension? Overall, suspension, tires et al, my truck is lifted 3". I wonder if Firestone would honor their warranty if installed on my truck, and, more importantly, how would it perform?

 

Yes that is the kit I am going with. My application is for the most part stock. Stock shocks. I have a 1” block in the rear however may/may not pull it out depending on what the bags do for me.
Really the only reason I even have that 1” block in the rear to begin with is I had a levelling spacer put in the front and it left my ass end 1/2” lower. Drove me nuts so I blocked the back. It was simple, quick and easy on the pocket book.
Not sure I would go the air bag way if I was lifted like you. I need it more for towing occasionally.
BTW I’m pretty sure I read somewhere, maybe even Firestone’s website, that you can get spacers designed for the lifted application with their air bags however I would contact them directly.
As you can see from Scott at Firestone who is an Engineer he was very helpful and factual.

 

How did you reach Scott at Firestone? Love to talk to him. By the way, the Kings gave me a 2” lift and the tires (33”) made up the other inch. So I don’t exactly have a lift kit, just my suspension. From what I gathered from Firestone and Scott, the bags can handle the flex, perhaps not from a stage 3 kit, but I’d like to ask him if it could handle mine.

 

Just emailed their “contact us” page but my guess is he was asked to field the question because CSR could not.
Good luck!

 

I have Torque bags FWIW. Not sure how Torque feels about Daystar...

Firestone 2407 kit.

 

But my point is, it's a different company, so they may have a different opinion about the Daystar Cradles
