    Price is $220.00 plus shipping, which I calculate to about $30 to most anywhere CONUS via UPS ground. I'll adjust for postage if it's less, but will not adjust the postage price upwards if its more. Payment via PayPal. Or, you can pick them up if you're in the Missoula area.

    Upgraded to some beefier springs on my '96 and don't really tow much, so these are no longer needed.

    They're in good shape. As you can see, there's a little surface rust on the brackets where they make contact with the underside of the frame. I routed independent lines from the air bag to my driver's side trailer hitch, so you might want to consider buying new air lines if you want to route to another location.

    According to Firestone's Website these should fit both 4WD and Pre-Runners from 1995.5-2004.

    Also including a link to the install manual so you can see how easy install is.

    Please note that only 2ea of the 3/8"-16 nut plates are included in the package I'm selling. They're only needed on the driver's side. The passenger side can use regular old 3/8" bolts and nuts through the frame. I'm including 4ea brand spanking new class 8.8 bolts and 2ea class 8.8 nuts and lockwashers in the kit.

    You will need to own supply of zip ties to lock the line routing in place.

    I'll be out of town this weekend through August 2, but will be happy to answer any questions once I'm back.

    Hello. I might be interested in these. I am planning on getting a four wheel camper or similar in the future and most of what I have read says i will need airbags. But not sure if i really would need airbags if i have Dakars and an aal or not. why were you using them and why did you remove?

    Hi @RoboTaco - I was using them as a band aid to compensate for some sever sag I was getting with some cheapo standard duty general springs. I have a fiberglass shell, sleeping platform, and usually a load of camping & fishing gear in the back and the SD springs weren’t cutting it. I upgraded to some Dayton HD springs and took off the airbags when I installed them to see how this happened settled in. Put about 6000 miles on the new springs since and decided to not reinstall the airbags.

    Not sure how well the Dakars will handle a full on slide in (if that’s what you were thinking), but I’m sure there’s someone on the forum who has done a write up. Either way, I’ve still got em if you decide they’d be useful!
