fairly easy install. works well
By MICHAEL P. OBRIEN
I purchased this kit for my 2004 tundra to improve ride when pulling a loaded car trailer. tundras have a great ride when unloaded and a really great ride with a few hundred pounds in the bed. But my personal thought is that they(pre-07 models) are fairly dangerous when towing heavy equipment due to small brakes, soft springs, light weight of the vehicle, narrow stance. Previously, if I had any tongue weight on the truck while driving, any bump would cause the rear end to get sloppy and raise the frontend causing some floating.The install went well. although initial writeups didn't comment on drilling the frame, it wasn't too difficult(just be careful of brake lines and cables). The kit was missing a few nuts so I had to use my own. Good thing I had several spares onhand. Double-check that you have all of the necessary parts before beginning. I routed my fill valves through the licence plate upper bolts in the rear bumper. I had to do some extra drilling in ot hte plastic mount and the brass nut did strip on one side so be careful if you do this. the result of licenceplate mounting is it keeps things clean and easy access to adjust pressure when needed.I've tested the airbag setup twice since install with two different results. The first test up a freeway in to the mountains showed improved control of the trailer(allowing more tongue weight w/out rearend spring sag). The trailer stopped controlling the truck when hitting minor bumps and high speed curves. The 2nd test run was again in the mountains but included extreme winding switchback roads and very uneven paving. The vehicle still caused some tongue bounce in this environment. but the frontend didn't float as before. I may have had too much tongue weight for the amount of air in the bags at the time. It's something that will require some fine tuning of tongue weight vs air bag weight. In both scenarios, city driving was much more controlled than before the air bag install.overall I feel much more control of the vehicle and trailer which results in a much safer towing environment.

Complete and easy kit
By Cosmic11do2
This kit went onto a 2000 Toyota Tundra that is used to haul hay. Installation was a breeze and the holes were easy to locate and drill. Caution is needed on the drivers side when drilling the holes, insert a piece of metal or wood on the inside of the frame to protect the lines there. I didn't like their suggestions for the fill valve locations so I made a separate metal tab near the receiver hitch. The push-to-connect air hose fittings are super easy to work with, very nice touch. I air tested it at 50psi for a week and and it only lost about 5psi and then stabilized, perhaps just cooling of the air.The only issue I can see with this is that it doesn't sit directly under the axle, but forward of the axle on the spring. This puts it a bit in the line of fire if you strap on some V-bar chains in the winter, particularly when the air bladders are inflated. I have not tried mounting chains yet, just be aware if this is an issue for you. It may be possible to just make a sheet metal protector if there is an interference issue.

By sharpening pro
Received the Firestone 2245 Ride-Rite Kit on 7-28-2010. It took 2.5 hours to install and everything went very well. Immediately tested the air springs and they function great. They were installed on a 2003 Toyota Tundra SR5 which was getting a little spongy with any load. The Pickup has a cap and it rides well empty. Moderate loads had been spongy and heavy loads would bottom out. The air springs really tightened it up at 15-20 pounds. Took it for a longer ride today - railroad tracks, bumps and other road irregularities did not shake the truck like it would before. No bottoming out and stability was greatly improved. I also noticed last night that my high beam headlights were no longer too high and they actually lighted up the road in front of me better.
