    Firestone Coilrite's on a lifted D2

    Have been doing a bit of a search to see if the standard Coilrite kit from Firestone will work on my car that has a 2'' lift already, or will some sort of spacer be required.
    Have got King springs in there, but was looking at air bags to take the bit of sag out when all loaded up and towing the camper.

    Any ideas??

    cheers

    I sent them an email the other day re. this exact scenario.

    They informed me that the bags are for standard height & they don't supply spacers.

    I haven't looked further into it, but I'd imagine spacers could be sourced elsewhere.

    I think LRA sell them but I don't know if they're compatible with the Firestone bags.

    You need to get spacers for them. I purchased mine through a dealer who purchased them from Polyair (not cheap at $40 a pair either)

    Cheers,

    Hi Guys

    Just looked on www.suspensionstuff.com.au . Shane sells a polyair 2" air bag kit for just what you are wanting it for for $330.00. It includes the necessary spacers.

    Give him a hoy.

    I run polyairs with a 4" lift. They just use extra spacers with the airbag.

    thanks gents,

    ordered the ones from suspensionstuff today for the 2'' lift. Good guys up there for sure.
    Looking forward to getting them installed, and seeing how it helps with the cars handling when towing the camper.

    Cheers,
