F250/F350/F450 Firestone Air Bag Update!!!

[@jhoward1669]

That is a big help for my install today! I think I got the new kit with rubber pucks but the instructions have an update stapled to the outside of the install guide that still wasn’t clear. Especially since they had a diagram of a jounce support and a lower support bracket in the original install guide.

Thanks for the details in both these videos for the airbags.

Thanks for this video. I want to use this kit on my truck, but with taller blocks in the rear of my truck, I wasn't going to be able to use those little support brackets, but since I have the jounce supports I should be good.

[@jhoward1669]

Agh, they change the 2625 kit again. They change the lower spring bracket. The slot is even shorter that needs to potentially share the airbag bolt and the lower support bracket if you needed it.

Thanks for the update about how many inches does the bag raise the rear. I want to install the kit on my 550 RV and I need to lift the rear to get up my driveway without scraping. Thanks Mike

[@Poweredby8Racing]

I’ve never measured. But I can visually tell a couple inches easy.

[@LowOnCash]

Thanks do you think they would fit a F 550 or does Firstone make a kit for the 550 Thanks Mike

@LowOnCash no idea… :/ they are very helpful and knowledgeable though so if you shoot them an email I’m positive they will get you squared away.

I have both brackets. I like the original longer bracket and I welded stops on it so it can't come off the bracket. Just 1/4" tabs on each side of the puck keeps it from sliding. I then drilled 2 holes and put a u bolt on under the jounce bumper so that the bracket doesn't want to lift upwards near the leaf stack. The center of my bolt into the airbag is right at the edge of jounce bumper so it's aligned. I went through everything you did with tech support and what they tell you to do still isn't a great design. There shouldn't even be a slot it should just have a single hole so it can't move. Also the spacer puck is a must not sure why they didn't think of that from the beginning

Dude! Thank you!!!!

[@capitenjimmy]

dit your u bolts on the truck got twisted ..? im not sure if that it will cost any problem ..

[@Poweredby8Racing]

No, none of my bolts are twisted.

[@capitenjimmy]

@@Poweredby8Racing do u have the torque numbers of the bolts of the lower bracket

[@Poweredby8Racing]

If I remember I just did them tight
