I have a question about the fire stone air bags, I have searched all over and can't find a definitive answer. My 05 double cab TACO bottoms out with the stock springs, and I would like to install the fire stone bags. Occasionally, maybe once every 2 or 3 months, I drive my truck off-road on camping trips. I drive carefully off-road, but what happens if you hit a pot-hole, or do something else that causes the suspension to flex, will this cause a problem with the air bag system? Will I lose my ability to off-road by installing this? To those who have the airbag system installed, have you ever had something bad happen with the airbag system installed? Just want to know what I'm in for once it's installed. Some people in forums have said NO MORE off-roading with the bags installed, and I have heard others say no problem as long as you don't drive too crazy, so which is it? Thanks to anyone that can provide input.

You will necessarily lose flex and/or suspension travel with a typical installation of these bags. You must also be careful when you are lifting the vehicle by the frame as the bags will bear the entire brunt of the rear end assemblage. People, in the latter case, strap or chain their frames to the axle to spare the bags.

Good luck.

Have a 2005 Tacoma PreRunner double cab. Installed airbags a year ago and they are great. No problems with suspension bottoming anymore and you never know they exist. Run about 8 lbs of air everyday and if you are carrying heavy loads or a trailer you can add some air. They lift the truck about 1" under everyday use.
