linda s Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Firestone fit almost all years and mount almost the same as airlift. Maybe it's just a liability thing because of the lifetime warranty. Bet they'll fit but of course the warranty will no longer apply. Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bsunrader Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 I put air lift bags on my mh it is a 1978 sunrader it was one of the best things I did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek up North Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 I'm sure the Airlift kit will work fine on a pre-86. Just might have to do a little fabricating but probable with Firestone kit too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any 'tweeking' won't be to the air spring itself, which is what's covered by the warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palito Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Hello all....on our 90 Odyssey we have rear airbags from 3 T-S RV Products...www.3tsrv.com ...... Its a T-9 Sistem air bag and the bags it self are made by firestone. It sells the full kit at low $300s.....They seen to be reliable and hold air quite well....we keep both sides at 35PSI. I believe they have the bags for all Toyota’s micro mini. Hope that helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
