Ride-rite vs Air lift August 25, 2013, 08:29:58 pm Yahoo Message Number: 142210Does anyone have any specific experience with either the Firestone Ride-rite or Air Lift Loadlifter **rear** air springs for the Chevy G30 chassis? I know Larry mentioned he added them to his old Chevy LD, but I can't recall which brand, or whether it even matters. I can get the Firestone for $282 or the Air Lift for $272, both on AMZ. We put the Firestone **front** coil air bags on last year, and they've worked flawlessly. I think I might lose 1 psi every 2 weeks or so, if even that. Some of the air springs kits for newer models are bolt on, but according to the mfg guidelines, my 1993 will have to have holes drilled in the frame to install the mounting brackets. Larry, did you have to drill holes for yours? Do you recall how many hours it took you to complete the job? TIA.

Be careful how you route the air lines. It took about 2 hours for me to do and I had to drill one hole per side. I loved them.Best regards,Andrew
