Can anyone tell me what the part/kit number is in order to purchase Firestone Airbags for a 78 series (rear) from America?
Thanks
Rod

Can't help with airbag numbers Rod, but I do know that fitting airbags to leaf sprung (as
well as some coil sprung) vehicles & then overloading quite often results in a bent chassis.
Don't fool yourself into thinking that it doesn't happen, I've personally see just about every type of 4wd come through with airbags & bent chassis.
Some have been repairable, others have been write offs.
Much better to upgrade the rear leafs to a good heavy duty arter market set.
I currently have 600kg springs on the rear of
mine & will be upgrading to 800kg springs in a month or so.
