Anyone use a Daystar Leveling kit with the Firestone Rear Coil helper bags?
Currently have the leveling kit which is great for normal driving. No complaints. However, when towing a boat, the rear sags obviously and I was thinking about getting that corrected while towing.

The common Firestone kit is like $100 and seems to be a pretty simple install. What I wanted to see was if anyone had used both, or if you ran into any problems. Hoping to find out before I throw the cash down.

I don't have the Firestone airbags, but I do have the Daystar spacers with Airlift 1000 bags in the rear. Everything works great with that setup, I think I removed 1 less nub from the bump stops (they have you cut them to make room for the air bags) to account for the extra height of the spacer. I can't think of a reason it wouldn't work fine with the Firestone system.

I was looking at the directions online, and yea, I remember the daystar spacer just sitting on top of the coil pretty much. I know the firestone kit sets it up for the valve to the bag on the upper direction but I just wanted to make sure.
