  • Suspension Enhancement Recommendations For a 2006 GMC Sierra 3500
  • We have several suspension enhancement systems available for your 2006 GMC Sierra 3500. I have linked our page which will give you a variety of suspension offerings. We do offer SuperSprings Suspension Stabilizer # SSA10 which will enhance your factory springs, however, we do not sell replacement leaf spring for vehicles. This enhancement unit bolts above your existing factory springs, there is no drilling required. To give you an idea about the installation, I have attached a short video of

  • Will Firestone Air Spring Kit F2250 Fit with Reese 5th Wheel Brackets RP50082 on a 2008 Ford F-250
  • That is what you would have to do. The factory bump stop bracket also should be in this location or just below the 5th wheel rail. In that square hole on the # RP50082-58 brackets you would put the bolt through to secure the bracket, put the Firestone air spring bracket from kit # F2550 on the other side of the frame, then put the nut on and torque to spec. I have included a picture showing the outboard and inboard sides of the frame with the 5th wheel bracket and Firestone air spring bracket in

  • Suspension Enhancement for a 2003 Chevy Tahoe with Auto Level Rear Suspension
  • I recommend installing a set of Timbren springs for added support. They will provide the support you need without having to run air lines and fill up or deflate air bags. Please keep in mind that adding Timbren springs or any suspension enhancement product may not stop the auto-leveling motor from running, but there is a very good chance that it will. If you have a 4-wheel drive model use # TGMRG25C. For a 2-Wheel drive model use # TGMRYS4. Be sure to check your vehicle owners manual to make

  • Lift Spacers for Firestone Suspension Enhancement on a 2009 Chevy Silverado 2500HD w/4 Inch Lift
  • I would go down to 3 inches and use spacer # F2368. The measurement should be with the bags deflated or at the minimum psi. When modifying the axle spacers on the lift kit, be sure to contact the lift kit manufacturer and/or the installer to determine if this is acceptable and if so, what would be the best way to do so. I have included a link to the instructions for the lift spacers for you.

  • Firestone Air Command Does Not Release Air Pressure or Increase Air Pressure
  • I spoke with my contact about the problem you are having and he immediately knew what the issue probably is. He stated that most likely you have the air tubes at the back of the gauge switched so they are in the wrong places. That would account for the problems you are having. Looking at the diagram Figure C in the instructions linked for reference there should be a location labeled DEL and that line goes to the air springs. The other labeled SUP goes to the compressor. If this does not solve

  • Firestone 2250 Airbag Fit for 2006 Chevy Silverado 3500 With B&W Flipover Gooseneck Hitch
  • I spoke with my contact at Firestone, who tells me that the frame bracket for your B and W Gooseneck hitch will not interfere with the installation or use of the Ride Rite # 2250 Air Helper Spring. The air bag will locate between the underside of the frame member and the top of the axle, just in board of the leaf springs as shown in the diagram posted for you.

  • Can Firestone part # F2525 Work with Pro Comp Stage 2 Block Lift on a 2010 F150 4X4
  • Yes, the Firestone part # F2525 will fit your 2010 Ford F-150 FX4 that is already outfitted with the 6 inch Pro Comp Stage 2 block lift installed. Often times lift spacers are required for truck that have lift kits, but, in your case, the block lift does not lift the frame further away from the suspension. I spoke with the engineer at Firestone who verified that you can use Firestone part # F2525 on your 2010 Ford F150 4X4 with your 6 inch Pro Comp Stage 2 block lift as long as your lift kit

  • Will Firestone Kit #F2400 Fit a Ford 2005 F350 4X4 with a Firestone Kit #F2176 Already Installed
  • The Firestone Kit # F2176 and Firestone Kit # F2400 do not have any interchangeable parts. The # F2176 that you already have installed is not compatible with the BandW Hitch you want to install. You will need to remove the air springs to install the BandW Hitch. With this being done, I would recommend Super Springs part # SSA22 which will work with the BandW Hitch part # 1108 you will be installing. By using part # SSA22 on your 2005 F350 4X4, it will not interfere in any way with the BandW H

  • Handling Characteristics of 2011 Chevy Silverado Equipped with Firestone Air Springs, Part # F2250
  • Adjustable air springs like the Firestone Ride-Rite Rear Air Helper Springs, part # F2250, can be tuned to match the load on the tow vehicle at any given time, but they cannot be operated when completely deflated. The air bags can be damaged if used without at least 5 psi pressure. Please note that no product of this type can increase the weight carrying capacity of your vehicle. This particular kit is not suitable for the Silverado 1500, only for 2500 and 3500 series trucks. The correct ki

  • Will Firestone Ride-Rite Rear Air Helper Springs, Part # F2407, Fit 2013 Toyota Tacoma V6 Double Cab
  • I confirmed with Firestone the fit of this suspension kit with the 2013 Toyota Tacoma 4WD. Firestone does show that their Ride-Rite Rear Air Helper Spring, part # F2407, fits both 2WD PreRunner as well as 4WD versions up through model year 2013. If you wish you can review the included instructions and linked video demonstrating installation in a 2011 Tacoma.

  • Do Firestone Ride-Rite Rear Air Springs, Part # F2355, Fit 2010 Nissan Titan with a 5th Wheel Hitch
  • My contact at Firestone does not have a confirmed fit for this air spring kit, part # F2355, on the 2010 Nissan Titan when it is equipped with the mounting hardware for a 5th wheel. This does not necessarily mean there will be a fit issue, only that the combination is untested. The compatibility of this air spring kit with your 5th-wheel-equipped Titan will be a function of the type of base rail installation kit you have and where on the vehicle frame that hardware is mounted. If it mounts to

  • Firestone and Air Lift Coil Spring Air Bag Comparison for a 2010 Chrysler Town and Country
  • The Air Lift 1000 Air Helper Springs, # AL60814, and the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs, # F4169, are very similar systems. The main difference between these two systems is that the Firestone system includes upper supports that are placed between the air bags and the jounce bumper bracket. Both systems will install the same way on your 2010 Chrysler Town and Country with the exception of the upper supports for the Firestone kit. I have attached the installation instructions of both k

  • Will Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2550 Affect Tongue Weight on 2008 Ford F-250 4WD
  • Using the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2550 on your 2008 Ford F-250 4WD will not affect the tongue weight of your trailer or your ability to properly hook it up to your tow vehicle. If you have concerns regarding the tongue weight of your trailer, and any sag the trailer tongue weight might cause, I would recommend a weight distribution system. If you choose to go this route, you will want to set the airbags prior to hooking up the weight distribution system. If you can provide m

  • Troubleshooting Leakages On Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Shocks on Ford F-150
  • For your Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs, you can check the fittings for air leaks with an applied solution of soap and water. If a leak is detected, deflate the air spring by depressing the valve core. The tubing can easily be removed from the fittings by pushing the collar on the fitting towards the body of the fitting while pulling out the tube. Next, check the tubing connection to ensure that the air tubing is cut as square as possible and that it is pushed completely into the fit

  • You can use the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs, # F2355, on your 2007 Nissan Titan with a 2 inch lift, but you will also need the 2 inch Lift Spacers, # F2366. The spacers will install between the bottom bracket and the air bag. I have attached the installation instructions for the Ride-Rite kit and the lift spacers for you to check out.

  • Will Firestone Air Springs, Part # F4177, Smooth Ride for 3rd Row Passengers in 2013 Ford Flex
  • My contact at Firestone advises that the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Spring, part # F4177, is primarily intended for leveling out a vehicle whose suspension sags in the rear end due to a trailer or cargo load. It is not expressly intended for improving ride quality. If your typical 3rd row passenger load causes the vehicle suspension to use up much of its range of travel (and if the axle ever hits the bump stops) then these will help eliminate that bottoming-out. Apart from that condition

  • Can Firestone Air Bags be Installed on a 2004 Chevy Silverado 2500 HF with 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch
  • The Firestone suspension system # F2250 mounts to the bottom of the truck frame as you can see in the instructions and video links I have provided. If the brackets from the 5th wheel installation kit do not have any parts that wrap around the bottom of the truck frame then you can install this air bag kit on your truck. If you determine that the area is obstructed by the brackets then I recommend the SuperSprings # SSA10MTKT which install over the rear leaf spring stacks. If the leaf spring

  • Will Air Bags Fit on a 2004 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with 2 Inch Suspension Lift
  • You would have to have the vehicle return to stock height in order to use the Coil-Rite system, # F4157, because of the extra space from the lift. There are no spacers for the Coil-Rite systems to adapter to the lift on the vehicle. What you may want to look at is a Timbren system, # TJFTJ, and added a couple of spacers per side, # A25723-90AH00, which is a 1 inch spacer. For 2 inches on each side you would need 4 total. The Timbren system will work to level the vehicle, especially when unde

  • What T-Valve and Inflation Valve is Needed for Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs
  • You would use a tee, # F3025-1, if you wanted to be able to fill both bags at the same time. However, if you carry many different sized loads it would be more beneficial to keep them separate because depending on the load, one side might need more air than the other. Inflation valve, # F3032-1, is what is used in the kit # F2403, so you would not have to get a different valve. Most portable air compressors are not all that great at filling something like air bags, especially when under load.

  • Rear Suspension Enhancement System for a 2000 Ford F-250 4x4 Towing Gooseneck Trailer
  • The best rear suspension enhancement product for your 2000 Ford F-250 is going to depend on a couple things. First, how your gooseneck hitch is attached to the frame of your truck and second, whether you prefer adjustable air springs or fixed rubber springs. For an air spring system, I recommend installing the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs, # F2550, that you referenced. This system is compatible with most gooseneck and fifth wheel hitches and have been tested for up to 5,000 lbs whic

The main differences between the two kits are the included parts. Both kits come with everything needed to complete the installation, but the Airlift 1000 kit includes two additional round air bag supports for the top of the bag. The Coil-Rite kit provides bag supports for the bottom of the bag only. I have attached the installation instructions for both o

The installation is fairly simple if you are used to working on vehicles. Many of our customers do the air spring installations themselves. I am including links to the installation instructions and a video of this kit being installed on a 1998 model Ram for you to go over. To inflate or deflate the springs from the cab,

  • Is Firestone Coil-Rite Installation Hard to Do on a 2001 Ford E-450 Chassis Motor Home
  • I would not say that installation of the Coil-Rite springs # F4101 is all that difficult. You will need to temporarily remove the lower shock bolts to allow the axle to hang freely, and you have to release the top of the coil spring to get the bag in place. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you to view. Routing the air lines might be the most time-consuming part of the installation. Be sure that when you cut the lines you use a air hose cutter like # AL10530 to get t

  • Will the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Spring Fit a 2007 Ford Fusion AWD Without Rear Strut
  • We have found that some of the 2007 Ford Fusion AWD models have struts not only in the front, but in the rear as well. The Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs, # F4169, were designed to fit the models that only have the bump stops inside of the rear coil springs, not the struts. We had a 2007 Ford Fusion on our lot, so I took a picture of the rear suspension with the bump stop in the coil spring. If your rear suspension looks like the photo that I have attached, then you can use the Coil-

To determine if it would interfere with Firestone air bags you have to look at where each installs.
