I was told to go firestone, because they (on an 06 at least) where the only true no drill application, and you can get them in the heavy duty doublebag style, and they mount directly over the axle. whereas the airride only came in the smaller tapered single bag style, that mounted behind the center point of the axle.

Not sure if any of that is true, but that is what i was told. I am ordering the firestone one's anyway though, jsut for the heavy duty style bad.

BUMP!!!

Thank You JD1500 for your input.

I'm bumping this up to the top to get any last minute input from members. I will be purchasing something today after work. Right now I'm leaning towards firestone...

If anyone else has input PLEASE let me know.

Thanks

When you get them, can you please make a DIY? I plan to get some after the snow melts.

Thanks
