Description Ride-Rite air helper springs are the workhorse of Firestone's air helper spring line. The double convoluted air springs offer maximum load capacity as well as years of worry-free service and support.
Ride-Rite air helper springs are installed between the frame of your vehicle and the suspension, providing load support by using air pressure.
Firestones air springs have become synonymous with quality, durability, and customer support that is second to none.

Firestone Ride-Rite 2071 FAQ with SD Truck Springs
Q: If I have a 1996 Dodge Ram 2500 with a gooseneck hitch is this kit the right one for me?
A: This Air Bag Kit will NOT fit with a gooseneck hitch installed. The 2071 kit mounting on the outside frame rails will interfere with the installation of the gooseneck hitch
Q: What is a drill-less solution?
A: The 2071 kit for your 2000 Dodge Ram 3500 come standard with brackets that bolt into holes that already exist on your vehicle's factory frame thus removing the need for any risky drilling or modification during the installation.
Q: If my vehicle is already lifted 6" can i still use this kit?
A: Yes indeed! Please be sure to check out other hardware needed to make up the space between the axle and the frame after the truck is lifted 6 inches.
Lift Spacers help to get the job done by mounting on the axle in order to make sure your vehicle operates safely with both the hitch and the air bags installed.

Easy to install with instructions you provided and they are great for what my husband needed. He does suggest four 90 degree fittings for the air lines so the lines would not vibrate in the wind around the airbags and the spare tire. He states it was a pleasure doing business with you. The delivery time was great.

Have a 1 ton Dodge dually. The Air bag helper springs improved the truck's ride. However, air bag assembly did not fit well on my Dodge with straight frame. As a result, I had to put a spacer over the lugs to move the wheel way from the airbag. Was then driving while loaded and wheel rubbing air bag cause it to blow out. T
