Anyone know where I can get a T fitting for the new Firestone Ride Rights I just bought, really have no desire to carry uneven loads and would like just one valve to fill both bags at the same time.

well I been there and done that. I called the 800 air bag number and said, "hi yadda yadda, someone must have forgot to include the Y fitting for the single pressure input if desired. The lady said, well that happens sometimes. i will put one in the mail for you.

It arrive shortly thereafter.

I did the same to my truck. I went to the local truck parts dealer. The fittings are the same as all the air line used in the big trucks for seats , wipers ect...

Does the possibility exist that one bag could go up in pressure and the other down on unbalanced shifting ?

not if you have both the bags on the same line.It is 1 comnplete line, if there was a leak, both would drain not just 1 side.

Has any one experienced an air bag failure? To level my trruck and get the best ride quality I run mine at 55# of air when loaded. I hit a pothole on one of the wonderful concrete interstates in Kentucky and blew out one of the airbags. I ordered them through JC Whitney and installed them in Feb. They are trying to get me a replacement but stated they are backordered and not available from Firestone until May 12th. I will be calling Firestone tomorrow to voice my displeasure with their product availablity. Mine are hooked up with the individual airlines so I at least had air in one. Sure can tell the difference in the ride without it.
