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. Ride-Rite air bag kits utilize a pair of convoluted air springs which can be adjusted to accommodate your load capacity. The Ride-Rite series is capable of 3,200 - 5,000 lbs. of load level capacity. After installed, your ride will be enhanced by reducing inter-leaf friction which will keep your truck level, reduce suspension fatigue, and increase the stability of your Ford vehicle.
Overall, Ride-Rite air bags have many advantages for your vehicle and will help to improve steering control and braking effectiveness, level headlight beams, reduce tire wear, keep leaf springs from permanent sagging, reduce bottoming out with air cushions between the axle and frame, absorb road shock, and match your vehicles load for an overall improved ride.
I received this kit properly packaged with all parts in excellent condition. The installation instructions were easy to follow and installation went smoothly. Not long after installation I used my F250, equipped with the air bags, to tow my toy hauler across country and up into Canada making a round trip of over 7200 miles. Everything went well and I had no problems at all. I occasionally checked the air pressure of the air bags and adjusted them as needed throughout my trip. I carried tools and my original bump stops just incase I had any problems with the air bags. But, fortunately I didn't need to use them. This is my second set of Firestone Air Bags. I also installed a set on my previous truck, a 2012 Toyota Tundra 4x4. I never had any problems with those air bags, either. I highly recommend Firestone air bags. They make towing heavy loads easier and add additional stability to your tow vehicle.
