Hey John, Just use google or yahoo Firestone air bags and you will find what you need. Yes each bag has an air line running to schrader valve just like filling a tire. They are fixed somewhere near the rear bottom fender flange on each side.  Hank Out.

I will crawllllll under the rig in a few and see what is "or " isn't there.....

Hey John!  I am following your saga avidly and am learning from your searches and successes!  AND the occasional setback.  :-(  LOL!  But I did want to thank you for all of us other "newbies" for sharing your progress with everyone.  I sent my membership check in last week and am waiting avidly for my package.  I'm also waiting for your final success so we can meet up, maybe at San Onofre Beach or something like that!  Being retired military, I can make reservations on the Camp Pendleton side of the beach .. much nicer, about 1/3 of the sites are right on the beach, most others are just "across" the street from the beach.  Super nice camping with minimum of water & electric hookup, and half the spaces have sewer hookup too.  Jim

Were the air bags an option? Just courious. I have them on mine. they work really well especally to level the thing out on the pad.

Air bags for leveling - not me - I'll forget to balance them out when I leave.
