Firestone Airbag Lift Spacers
Firestone Airbag lift Spacers Project
After installing heavier springs on the rear axle, the Firestone Air Bags no longer sat on the spring, but had about an inch and a quarter space between them. I fabricated 2 inch square tubing with 1/4" thick walls. I also had to make bottom plates to make the bolted connection to the spring pack. I needed 7" bolts but the hardware store only had grade 5 bolts in stock so I went with those. The air bags now make proper contact with the springs and lift and level the TC better. I also like that the air bags provide a third center support on the frame along with the front and rear shackle. I also installed new U-Joints. Next up will be shock absorbers.
