hi,
thought i would share the airbags on the rear of my 2002.
my drive axle airbags were Goodyear 1R11-066. they were stamped on the outside of the bag so it made it easy to tell. i bought the firestone equivalent that was W01-358-9447. i paid 170 each for 4 of them from a local dealer.
the suspension that is on the drive axle on mine is a Ridewell 2460003 on it. the 246 series.
the tag axle bags on mine are NOT the Ridewell 103589378c airbag like newell told me. there is a firestone equivalent that is w01-358-9378 this bag has the top and bottom mounting studs that are 90 degrees off from each other. mine they are the same direction top and bottom. that bag is not available hardly anywhere. i took my tag bag off and it was a firestone w01-358-8908. NO one has them. firestone will make them but they are 8 weeks lead time and about 180 each before shipping. the tag suspension is a ridewell 2840002 with a dana axle
i did alot of research and the firestone w01-358-9448 is nearly identical to the w01-358-8908. same bellows, same rubber stop inside, same mounting, only 1/4" diff in a couple of places. so i called firestone and they said it will work.
so i ordered 2 of them from www.truckspring.com for $311.42 shipped.
i had leo at all aboard america put all 6 on. btw, it only took him a few hours to do the 4 drive bags.
the front bags i have not replaces as they look fine. from what i understand they are firestone WO1-358-8087 from what others tell me they had on theirs. i have not verified it. they are avail from newell for about 250 each. couldnt find them anywhere else.
hope it helps someone.
