How much pressure are you losing?

I'm losing about 2 lbs of air after about 24 hours so I'm not sure if I have a really small leak or what.

Just installed mine last week and the install is very easy. Not much to the system that can break so I would bet they didn't get a hose installed all the way or something.

Good read! I'm trying to make a decision between the two brands as well. Keep the feedbacks coming.

I have been trying to find out which brand was more favorable myself and have been getting mixed reviews on the topic. I came across this article on a suspension parts website and it was a lot of help I thought maybe you guys could use the info to make your decisions as well.http://www.sdtrucksprings.com/firest...n-air-bag-kits

I installed the Airlifts about 9 months ago. Went out and checked them before I posted and they are both the same pressure. Pleasantly surprised!

my airlift bags have lasted a whole year and have zero leaks, and they have not had an easy year. Very glad I went with the airlift bags instead of trying the firestones again.

Just ordered this kit for my Ram. I really like the looks of it, and they're having a spring sale.

Thanks for all the info! Went with the airlift ride control (59551) and air compressor kit (25854) for a total of $422.00 shipped to my door. Should qualify for the $100 rebate, so $322.00 STMD.

I installed mine about a month ago and love them so far... No leaks as of yet. The first 24 hours I lost about 3lbs of pressure, which air lift says is normal. Definitely glad I went with them!

I just ordered the wireless controller and bags $400 to my door plus the $50 rebate. Pretty good birthday gift from my future wife!

I put the Airlift on a couple weeks ago. Love it. I had Firestone kit on my 2000 2500 and it worked great but did lose pressure slowly.
