Exit Offroad is now offering products from THE original airbag company, Firestone!! Firestone invented the airbags!! Firestone Industrial Products is more than an air spring manufacturer. We’re a development partner that offers powerful solutions for almost any vibration problem. We revolutionized transportation when we introduced the Airideā„¢ Air Spring in 1938, and have since expanded our solutions beyond cars to commercial vehicles, farm equipment and industrial applications. As we continue to shape mobility through the development of world-class anti-vibration products and solutions, choose Firestoneā€™s legacy of quality, reliability and innovation.

Exit Offroad is now offering the Firestone Ride-Rite Airbag kits for the extremely popular 2nd and 3rd Gen Toyota Tacoma (2005-2015 and 2016-2021) as well as the Toyota Tundra from 2007 to 2021. These awesome airbags kits are great for those who load up the beds of their truck occasionally and need more than just heavier rated leaf springs to properly support that additional weight and keep the height up in the rear so that it’s not squatting too much.

Exit Offroad has also combined the Firestone Ride-Rite Airbag kits with the Daystar airbag cradle system. This system allows for the lifted vehicle to use these airbags without any restrictions of lift height, also maximizing the wheel travel available in the suspension. The cradle mounts to the leaf spring while the airbag mounts only to the frame, allowing the airbag to move in and out of the cradle as needed with articulation. This is perfect for offroaders who do not want to limit their rear flex, but also need to have airbags to carry such things as campers, toppers/canopies, or just a full bed load of camping gear for a full trip.

In addition to the Tacoma and Tundra options to work with their leaf spring setup, we are now offering suitable Firestone Coil-Rite rear helper air springs that will fit inside your stock or Dobinsons lifted coil springs. For the same reasons that Tacoma and Tundra owners need the additional support, Toyota and Lexus SUV owners with models such as 4Runner, FJ Cruiser, GX470 and GX460 also can tow with their vehicle, and the added tongue weight of the trailer puts a lot of pressure onto the rearmost point of the vehicle, causing the suspension to squat quite a lot in some cases. Adding Firestone Coil-Rite airbags inside your coils will allow these helper air springs to keep the added weight better supported as well as keeping the rear ground clearance up. Helper air springs do just that, they help support the additional weight, and when combined with a set of properly rated Dobinsons rear coil springs to support the majority of the weight, you’ll have the best combination you can get for towing or adding a lot of additional weight whilst supporting it properly.

Be sure to reach out to us here at Exit Offroad if you have any questions if the Firestone and Daystar combo of parts may be right for your build.
