Rusty,
I do not have handling issues of any kind but the front leans an inch or two lower on the drivers side. No visible damage to the springs. I was considering a front only airbag install.
I see the kit:
1990-2007 Ford F53 Firestone "Ride-Rite" Air Bag, front Model: 2070
requires a 3/8 hole be drilled in the frame. The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 88140/57140 appears not to need drilling as you said.
Other than that issue, did you or others intentionally avoid the Firestone product?
thanks,
