I will say that Firestone is not the only ones doing this. When I looked at (I believe) the Saf-T-Plus system applications there are numerous part numbers that say "F53 except Thor".
The sad thing is the 2170 Air bags and brackets fit without modification. I wonder how many, passed up getting air bags because of not knowing, checking the dimensions, or the exclusion. I know of one man who was about to sell his Daybreak motor home because he thought he could not install air bags. I know of another person who now hates firestone because the air bags would not fit. he says he will never again buy anything 3rd party for his motor home.
