Thread: Firestone suspension air bag part numbers

Cost fitted is negligible at Pedders....and if you drive it in with the trailer, they can pick the right bag for you....saves you guessing wrong.

You will save substantially if you buy from truckspring.com Truck Suspension, Bilstein Shocks, Firestone Air Bags, Timbren, Leaf Springs - TruckSpring.com

Hi, Check out the thread by Tim NZ in the Projects and Tutorials section and all your questions will be answered, assuming the Puma spring mounts are the same as the Earlier Defenders. Cheers, 130man.

If you are looking for the blue helper bags that go inside your existing coils, than you are after the Firestone part number 6010 and the hose kit 2131. You will also need some spacers, either from Polyair or make your own.
This is still on my too do list, so let me know how you go.

130man. I checked out TimNZ instructions,very good but I want to install air bags that fit inside the springs. I want to get Firestone bags and they call them a Coil Rite air spring.

MTB. Thanks for the info. I reckon the spacer will have to be about 30 -40mm thick . Im still not sure what to do about the top plate, weld or bolt. I sure more info will be coming (I hope).

I bought a set of the Firestone bags (blue helper bags) for my 90 as the tail hangs a bit when I'm loaded for travel.

They came with a very tidy looking spacer and airline holder (black poly) that fits in the top. The problem I'm having is that there is nothing on the bottom of the bag to protect it from the two bolt heads of the spring retainers.

Do you need spacers or shields of some description to protect the bottom of the bag or does it "grip" the coils enough not to push down that low?

Advise would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers,

Lou

From what I have heard you ought to have something protecting your bags at the bottom.
Some people add a rubber or nylon spacer, recessed for the bolt heads.
Other people swap out the bolts for dome head once.
