Remember to Check your Minimum air pressure, you don't want to go driving around with full pressure in the bags. Mine is 5 PSI. Otherwise you will go bouncing around..lol

I'm planning on installing these in my 2012 Outlander (V6). Good information here.

I see Rene's mechanic installed his with the air inlet facing down (as per the Firestone instructions).

Has anyone done an installation with the air inlet facing up? This seems to be the way they always do it in etrailer.com installation videos, and I guess it helps the air hoses last longer.

The first thing to check is whether your shocks are inside your springs. If so, you're out of luck. If not, there's a good chance the springs haven't changed and you can use f4182. Compare your suspension to the diagrams here:https://mitsubishiforum.com/forum/mitsubishi-outlander-10/uneven-suspension-front-vs-rear-43264/#post288026

All outlanders (not outlander sport) are made in Japan. Check vehicle vin#, if it start with J, car was manufactured in Japan.

Yep, I know it's an older thread....oh well. Finally got tired of the rear suspension sagging on my 2011 with either the bike rack loaded on the back or my trailer attached. Ordered up the Firestone Coil Rite airbags and installed them recently. What a difference! Sure, they were a little tricky to install, but totally worth it once it was done. Running the air lines through the suspension required some added fuel line from Autozone to cover them so they don't get cut by the sharp edges. Typically I keep about 5-10psi in them and will bump that up depending on the load. I recommend it for those that haven't done it. And thanks for the installation suggestions previously mentioned in this thread.

I had a 2014 diesel Outlander and the only way to fix the suspension for towing was to change the springs to stiffer ones. I went for standard ride height but 25% stiffer. Worked great.
I have since bought a new Diesel Outlander 2021 model. I removed the springs from the old one and as the new one has stiffer suspension already I have a set laying around.

thank you for the info! Much appreciated. Mind if I ask where you sourced your springs?
