Got the firestone air bags installed yesterday with the Tee.Everything went smooth,took about 1.5 hours.

The tee works great for me and I'm not hauling around little toy tractors either.

Hmmm, Your loading the truck directly over the centerline of the rear axle with a gooseneck hitch. Maybe that has something to do with it and not your mastery of filling air bags???

BTW, I think with that case tractor and the skid loader that you need to move the weight farther forward or tow with a truck that can handle the pin weight.

If you notice in the case tractor pic there is also a dog setting on the trailer.I believe he is the forward weight that is needed for good balance.Great pic cre10.

This thread is pure entertainment. Watching people act cocky even thought they clearly don't understand how air suspension works is hilarious. Even going to the point of bragging about spending money on additional parts that cause the system to not provide side to side stability. The only thing you did was spend time and money to defeat one of the main benefits of air bags. Congrats!

Adjustable Air Pressure

The air pressure in your Ride-Rite springs can be adjusted manually, side to side, to compensate for off-center loads. A centered load improves the stability of your vehicle by reducing body roll.


To those of you with a tee can you control side to side stability, compensate for off center loads, or control body roll? Nope. congrats you just defeated many of the benefits of installing air bags on your truck. Time to brag about how smart you are, again.

Purchasing a air bag suspension kit to improve stability and safety when hauling $500
Purchasing a Tee that defeats one of the main benefits of air bag suspensions= $20
Braggin on the internet about how smart you are for installing a tee in your system= Priceless

And yet mine has worked just fine for me for several years.
So there.

I can always change it and separate the lines in the future if I see the need. So far I have not seen the need

The stuff I haul is centered. Once again if I had a trailer with say 2,000 pounds on the driver's side and 10,000 no the passenger side then yes I see the benefit of running different pressures. My tee was "free" with my kit purchased :laughing: I guess the Air Ride people are morons for including a tee with their bags? Wonder how many bags they sell a year?
