Thanks for the tip @Gnarwgn. In the name of not hijacking this threat I didn't give many details. I was considering a separate thread but it just happened this thread was on the topic. Short story is I think it's possible I have some leaks in the upper rear hatch. There is some rust forming...
Does anyone have any tips or know of a write-up/video on checking the refrigerant pressure in the rear system? I'm wondering if my rear AC is not working. In the summer in 100+ deg temps my LC stays cool. However, I've been struggling a lot with all the rear windows fogging up in the winter...
I may be thinking about this wrong, but I think the spacer will add height in addition to the air lift. It is true that the air bag does the majority of the work by keeping the spring from compressing as much, basically increasing the spring rate. But the spacer sits on top of said stiffer...
I was meaning to post an update here and forgot. X2 what others said about making a larger hole that is offset from center to clear the pneumatic line. Following the instructions to simply increase the existing hole diameter to ~1" is nearly certain to get you a severed line. I asked about a...
Good to know. I only did 20 because I think the instructions suggested 20 or 25 for a shakedown test drive. I usually use about 20 psi in the 4Runner and it doesn't droop a bit when towing (I believe 30 psi is the max according to the instructions), though I admit I never tried airing down to...
Thanks for all the feedback, it makes sense the hole needs to be enlarged quite a lot for it to clear the hose. @Mech30, you're right, the instruction does call for enlarging the hole, but only to 3/4". The picture I posted above includes that, so it's clear 3/4" isn't enough. But really...
I'm looking advice from others who have successfully installed Airlift bags in their coils. I have been running Airlifts for years in a 4Runner for towing and they have worked great. When I started towing with my LC it was sagging something fierce in the back with my small trailer, large...
I posted a reply on another thread that I believe explains why the bag is shorted than the coil, given the similarities the threads I'll put a link here as well and not repeat it.

Well it turns out I was wrong in my thinking, and it's ok if the bag is not the full length of the coil. The excerpt below is from the installation instructions for the Air Lift brand universal fit kits. I had always thought the bags functioned by stiffening the springs via bulging between the...
Which longer version? The link from hoser above is only a general link for the new wireless version as far as I can tell. I may be / probably am missing something. I found the universal kit 60925 on the airlift website that I was pondering, but if anything it looks like the bag may be even...
Good to hear they stand by the warranty. Given you've gotten 8 years out of them and are replacing with the same set, is it safe to assume they have been doing what then need to prevent sag even though they have a big gap over the bag? Sounds like a similar setup to me except I only have 15mm...
Thanks, I saw that thread but before the 3:34pm post with some useful info. I didn't want to hijack that thread since the OP was about RTT leveling. I'm a bit surprised the bag they recommend is short even with stock suspension. Makes me wonder about using the kit based off the measurements...
I looked around a bit on the forum and I haven't been able to find the answer to my question. If there's another thread with the answer feel free to point me to it.
I'm trying to figure out the best model number order for Air Lift or Firestone rear coil airbags. I have the Ironman 4x4 FCP "2...
Hey @GVegasG, I think you're on the right track. I have the same setup except with the 440-880 springs, and when I first installed it the rear was really high, even more than you're seeing because I had no extra weight. Now it's sitting around 22" after a few hundred miles of driving and...
