No AirLift for 2015's?

[Raven]

Hoping they are wrong, but Airlift says the rear springs are different on the 2015, so their Airlift 1000 won't fit. Firestone also says they do not have a CoilRite to fit the 2015 Runner.
Anyone know for sure if the rear springs have gone unchanged from 2013?
Anyone already installed coil spring air helpers on a 2015 4Runner?

Great question, as I was about to get an Airlift for my 2015!

Anyone have an answer to this? I thought all was the same!

I doubt the rear springs are different. This sounds like they just haven't test fit the bags on a 2015.

That is what I thought, and what I am hoping. It would not be the first website that hasn't heard of the 2015 MY yet!
However, the email response I got from Airlift said quite clearly that they were told by Toyota there were changes in the rear springs/suspension. They suggested that I measure the inside diameter and height of my springs, and then they might be able to find something to fit my vehicle. While that is not such a big deal, it sounds like they want me to do their R&D for them! Surely it would also be in their best business interests to put out an airlift that is compatible with each new year and model.

Installed Airlift 1000 on my '15 TEP last week... easy install and the bags fit fine in the coils.

What pressure do you run with a light load on-road, 5psi as recommended or higher?
Similar question for off-road pressure with a lilght load?

I have been running 5 and 12, but would like input from others.

 

[wyomarine]

I've only had mine on about a week and haven't run it with a load in the back yet. I currently have it set at 5psi.

I ran the firestone coil right air bags on my 2014 sr5 - called firestone and spoke with 2 different people they couldn't guarantee the fitment -
Installed them myself and they work perfect - towed a 2700 lb trail manor with no issues. - on the install I just cut out the bump stops only 4 of the 5 levels even though they recommend all 5 - ran the hoses to the rear where the 7 pin trailer light connector comes out.

 

[Raven]

Thanks for the input, guys!
Sounds promising.

wyomarine: did you just order the Airlift 1000 for a 2014, or is there a specific part number for the one you got, which fits the 2015, even 'though Airlift says it won't?

 

[wyomarine]

Raven, I ordered model #60809 from Auto Anything. On the website it shows that the air bags are for 2003-2012 4Runner; however, they fit my 2015 just fine.

 

[Raven]

Thanks, I'll order the same thing - won't be able to install them 'til spring anyway.

Air Bags

Antman did a real nice job with his including a built in compressor. http://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs/92013-antmans-thread.html#post806239

I took a simple (lazy) approach with mine.

Technically they say not available for 2014 either, but that hasn't stopped most of us. My Air Lift install write-up used Air Lift #60809. Don't believe the instructions when it says you need to drop the axle, with some patience you don't need to remove anything but the rear wheels.
I do remember a comment somewhere (but can't find it) that someone called airlift and gave them the specs on the springs (OD, height, rate, ID, etc) and got a different part number to use with slightly taller bags than the #60809.
The only problem I've had with mine is that all the little hose clamps and the nuts for the fill valve are rusting. Other than that I've had it as high as 20psi with a load, and usually run daily driver at 8psi.

I drive with at least 15lbs. Have it at 32-33 right now as trailer is going on this weekend, and I didnt want to wait until last minute.
