I have a set of the Firestone bags that I took off my 1999 e250 because one bag leaked. I got new springs so took them off at the same time. I keep meaning to warranty claim them but maybe I waited...

Re: Let's talk air bags...

From the looks of it, the Firestones likely won't work with your rear helper springs installed. See the photo earlier in the thread of my rear airbags and how they mount on the main leaf pack. I...

Re: Let's talk air bags...

My problem is that once the bags are on, it's pretty hard to see the fitting that goes into the airbag to check for leaks. The front ones are nearly impossible as they are in the coil springs and the...

Re: Let's talk air bags...

I finally got my front and rear airbags finished this morning on my 1998 E250 EB 2WD. I was under pressure to get them done, so I wasn't able to take pics during the install. A few of the finished...

Re: Let's talk air bags...

Has anyone here used a dual-needle gauge, like this one from Viair? https://www.summitracing.com/parts/var-90083/overview/

I'm wondering how they work. I can't seem to find a picture of the back...

Re: Let's talk air bags...

Looks good, and I like the gauge idea for keeping an eye on the pressure! ("Jage's Gauges") Where did you order the parts? I see the invoice but not the vendor. Thanks for taking the time to post,...

Re: Let's talk air bags...

I'm hoping to do my install in the next few weeks, so any write-up and/or photos sooner rather than later would be much appreciated!

I was going to do them this weekend, but got involved with...

Re: Let's talk air bags...

Better go out and buy several drill bits before you start. I just found out today that my (2002) frame only has 1 of the 5 or so holes needed already drilled. I've heard E350 frames are a beeotch to...

Re: Let's talk air bags...

If I do it will be titled "The idiots guide to airbag installation," as I'm not as mechanically astute as many of you on the forum. Wood and electrical work I'm fine with as my dad is a contractor,...

Re: Let's talk air bags...

Update on SDtrucksprings.com. I ordered late yesterday afternoon (ET) and FedEx just dropped off my Firestone airbags. Order looks full and complete. Now all I have to do is find time to mount these...

Re: Let's talk air bags...

I just ordered Firestone airbags for the front and rear of my 98 E250 EB. Got them from www.sdtrucksprings.com (https://www.sdtrucksprings.com), which beat suspensionconnection.com's price by a fair...

Re: Let's talk air bags...

That's a cool idea... hadn't thought of that! Being able to level at a campsite without blocks and stuff is a definite plus.

Re: Let's talk air bags...

For those with airbags, is it worth the extra expense/hassle to install an onboard pump and gauges just for the airbags? Seems like overkill, but maybe not?

Re: Let's talk air bags...

I'm following this thread as I'm also thinking of adding bags to my 98 E250 EB.
