I ordered the Firestone Coil-Rite kit for my 2011. I can't imagine this effecting the warranty either. Looking forward to the better ride and towing.

More about convenience. I read up on both products and both have good ratings and both are similarly priced and both install virtually the same. I did read a few posts that mentioned some leaks with the Airlift 1000 and did not see anything about the Coil-Rite. That being said lots of posts having nothing but good things to say about the Airlift. A local shop that I purchased my CAI and Driving Lights from is a Firestone dealer. Their service has been excellent. The cost to buy locally versus ordering from the States and paying freight, duty and taxes worked out about the same.

Got mine in yesterday. All i can so is holy hell, what a difference, not sure why i didnt get these sooner. got them sitting at 15 psi right now, waiting a couple days then going to drop down to ~10.

I also ran my valves independently into the back where the jack tools are. I'll post some pictures of it here in the next day or two.

I installed mine in the rear cubby like above. It worked pretty slick since I dont have the seven way plug. Very easy install. I cut the air line in half and installed the lines on the bags before I put it in the coil spring. Glad I did this because it is a snug fit getting the lines on the bags. Pretty impressed with the bags so far. Crazy how it lifts the back of the Pathy up.

I drilled up from the bottom on the first one, just to make sure i was in the gap to run the line. for the second one i went down, it was a lot easier.

I installed the Firestone Coil-Rite air bags yesterday and wow what a difference in the ride. They are inflated to 17lbs right now and I will play with the PSI later today. I want to see how she rides with the boat attached. may have to wait though, it's raining. :( The installation was easier than I thought it would be. Attached are some photos of the install.
