Firestone Air Bag install

Post by 4running »

I have a right rear air bag that is leaking.

Is this a tough repair to do? Can I jack up the frame and let the axle hang with enough space to slide the air spring out? Also how big of a floor jack will I need
My 3 ton lincoln would not lift even one corner of the RV.

I purchased and installed the airbag in about an hour. Be sure to pay attention to the brackets as they can be re installed incorrect. I also purchased the 20ton bottle jack from harbor freight, you need approx 20" of lift if you lift by the frame rail.
The rear wheels do not need to come of for install.
