I have a 2x4 Sport Ext Cab and I have the Firestone #2531 kit on my truck and they have been great. The most important thing is cutting the airline square so they seal in the fittings properly. Use a little dish soap in a bottle of water to make your own leak check to ensure you did it right. Follow the instructions and you should be fine. The hardest part is mounting the top bracket on the side of the frame. Clamp it if you can and make sure it is where you want it, The drivers side is the hardest because all of the wires and lines inside the frame rail.

from what I'm understanding is that the air bag needs to have a certain amount of space between the air bag and the inside of the tire, 6.5" is what firestone suggests and for what ever reason the #2531 kit does not allow this clearance. when I have the bag set in place i have maybe 2.5" of clearance between my tire and the bag.

The 6.5 inches of clearance requirement is not air bag and tire it is from frame to side wall of the tire. The brackets mount on the outside of the frame and above the leaf springs that is why you need the 6.5 inches of clearance. I talked with both Firestone Techs and SD Truck Springs before I ordered them and they have been on the truck over two years now no issues with rubbing or clearance.

Curious
I also have a 2007 ranger 4x4 that i am considering installing the firestone 2531 kit. I am just wondering if you successfully installed this kit on a 4x4 and if it worked out for you? I am not sure to go ahead with this given firestone says it will not fit an extended cab 4x4. I have a camper that I put on the back of my truck and have to do something to handle the load. What would you recommend?

SD truck spring also has lines of bolt on helper spring that may be able to help you, My truck is an extended cab sport and I no issues fitting the 2531 kit and everything is the same as a 4x4 model in the rear except for the size of the wheels .
