• Rear Suspension Helper Springs for a 2018 GMC Sierra 2500 Towing a 5th Wheel Trailer
  Hello, I will be happy to help you select some helper springs to improve the ride and level out the truck when you are towing. Timbren springs are an easy install but they will make the ride stiffer when you are not towing. The similar SumoSprings Solo # SSR-207-47 will also level out the truck but will not be as stiff when not towing compared to the Timbren springs. Another option to consider is RoadActive Suspension # RAS3611-HD. Installation is easy with this kit as well. It will...

• Can Firestone Air Bags be Installed on a 1999 Ford F-350 with B&W Gooseneck Trailer Hitch
  Yes, you can use Firestone air bag helper springs # F2550 on your 1999 Ford F-350 diesel with the B&W gooseneck hitch installed. The upper brackets for the air bags mount on the inboard side of the frame rails opposite the brackets for the gooseneck hitch so they will not interfere with each other. The gooseneck brackets also have a hole in them that will allow the mounting bolt for the spring upper brackets to fit through. I have linked a video showing an example installation of F2550...

• How To Replace the Air Filter On a Firestone Compressor System
  In order to replace the air filter on the Firestone Air Command I Compressor System part # F2158 you will first want to un-thread the filter housing from the compressor. Once the filter housing is removed you can then pry the two sides open with a flat-head screwdriver or pick tool. Once the two sides of the filter housing are separated you can simply remove the old and then replace it with a new filter. The filter housing will snap back together and you can thread it back on the compressor.

• Best Airbags for a 2005 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD with 6 Inch Lift
  For your 2005 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD, I recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F2250. These airbags will do an excellent job of helping to distribute the weight of the trailer across the vehicle in addition to helping with stability and off center loads. Now in order to compensate for the 6" lift on your vehicle, you will need to add a spacer. The correct spacer for you will depend on the distance you have between the upper and lower brackets once installed....

• Recommended Airbag Kit for a 2015 Ford F-150
  For a set of airbags that will work with your 2015 Ford F-150, I recommend taking a look at the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F2582. The Ride-Rite airbags will maximize safe load carry capacity, increase stability, and improve overall ride quality. The air pressure is adjustable for each airbag therefore you can adjust the pressure to suite your needs. In order to operate the airbags from inside the cab of your vehicle, I recommend the Firestone Air Command I part # F2158....

• Is Aftermarket Trailer Hitch Safe to Use Over OEM Trailer Hitch for a 2017 Nissan Pathfinder
  Yes, even though the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76031 only uses 6 bolts as opposed to the 10 bolts for the OEM trailer hitch it has gone through an extensive amount of stress tests to ensure that the 6,000 lb trailer towing rating is completely safe. I highly recommend going with this over the OEM for your 2017 Nissan Pathfinder so that you can add some extra components. For a cost-effective brake controller that is reliable I recommend the Tekonsha Primus IQ # TK90160....

• Transmission Cooler and Air Bag Kit for Towing with a 2008 Toyota 4Runner Limited V8
  An additional transmission cooler as well as some suspension enhancement will help to keep your 2008 Toyota 4Runner from wearing out as quickly because of the stress of towing. One of the best transmission coolers that we have is the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit # D13503. There aren't any specific fits when it comes to coolers so you want to try to install the biggest cooler you can. This cooler measures 11" wide x 8-3/4" tall x 7/8" deep. You can reference the...

• What is Capacity of Firestone Ride Rite Kit F25882
  This is a really good question. So the Firestone Ride Rite kits like the # F2582 that you referenced are capable of having a capacity of up to 5,000 lbs but the the specific air bags that are used in this kit are only rated for up to 4,800 lbs according to Firestone as the bags this kit comes with are the 267C1.5. If you scroll to page 22 in the attached install instructions for the # F2582 you can see the capacity of the bag pair listed there.

• Will Firestone Air Command I Work With Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs on 2006 Dodge Ram 3500
  Yes the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2299 is going to work with the Firestone Air Command I - Analog Gauge w/ Standard-Duty Compressor # F2158. The Air Command can work with your tires but I do recommend going with the Firestone Air Tank, 1 Gallon # F9244 to allow for much faster inflation of both the springs and tires.

• Suspension Enhancement to Help Sag on 2015 Ford F-150 Towing R-Pod
  The Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2582 that fit your 2015 Ford F-150 will do a great job of reducing the sag that occurs when you hook up your r-pod RP-190 trailer. The reason for that is. these springs have a 4,800 lb capacity, which is more than enough to support the additional tongue weight (also called hitch weight) that an RP-190 adds. The Firestone Ride-Rite air springs are the best-performing, most dependable air bags available due to their construction so you have...

• How to Decrease Vehicle Sag and Improve Ride Quality on a 2014 Ram 2500
  I have the perfect option that will give your 2014 Ram 2500 both comfort and support but the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System part # TDR2500D are prone to creating a stiff ride. I cannot guarantee whether or not you will experience this discomfort but if the springs are loaded then the chances of a stiff ride are high. For the best of both worlds (support/comfort), I recommend using a set of airbags like the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F2598. This airbag kit...

  For your 2008 Ford F-350 Super Duty with the V10 engine we have the Firestone air bag kit part # F2550 as a confirmed fit which is what I recommend. It has the highest quality air bags available for your vehicle and also it's compatible with the B and W Turnoverball gooseneck hitch part # BWGNRK1108 that you have as well. For a compressor kit then the heavy duty part # F2097 will make inflating the bags and maintaining them very easy. The compressor will inflate faster than standard compressors...

• Solution for Front Axle of 2018 Ram 2500 Transferring Weight to Rear Axle
  Since you have a Sidewinder pin box on your 5th wheel trailer, you will need a new 5th wheel hitch since the current models of the Curt A-series and Q-series are not compatible with sidewinders. Instead, you can go with the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Slide Bar Jaw - 16,000 lbs # C16115 and custom wedge # RP64FR. This should help put the front end of your Ram lower since the legs are almost 100 lbs lighter than the slider but I can't guarantee that your pickup will be at factory...

• How to Prevent Rear End Sag While Towing with a 2012 Ram 1500
  Yes, the Firestone Coil-to-Air-Spring Conversion Kit part # F2595 is going to help take the sag out of your 2012 Ram 1500 while hitched to your boat trailer. This system will actually replace the leaf springs on the truck with a set of air springs. I would actually recommend you take a look at the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs part # AL57365 instead because these will also help take the sag out but won't replace the coil springs on the truck. Therefore, if you ever have a...

• Is Air Compressor Required for Use With Firestone Coil-Rite Air Springs F4176
  While it is not a requirement, I do highly recommend using the Firestone Air Command I - Analog Gauge with Standard-Duty Compressor # F2158 with the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs # F4176. The reason for that is the compressor is going to make it much simpler to inflate and keep the pressure of the air springs where you need it. The reason is, the springs come with manual inflation valves (see accompanying photo) that you need to find a place to route and install underneath the...

• 2018 Ram 1500 Firestone Ride Rite Air Bag Kit Recommendation
  As long as you don't have the factory Air Suspension or the Rebel model you'll want the Firestone Coil-to-Air-Spring Conversion Kit # F2595 for your 2018 Ram 1500. This is an air spring kit that can be adjusted to fit your towing/hauling needs depending on how you're using your truck from day to day. The 3,000 lb weight rating of this kit has to do with how much payload weight the air springs will help to support as these aren't designed to take the place of your OEM suspension. They won't...

• Recommended Suspension Enhancement For 2005 Chevy Suburban 2500
  For your 2005 Chevy Suburban 2500 4x4, I recommend the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TGMRSB4S. This will stabilize your vehicle to significantly reduce that sag by using the Aeon Rubber that becomes more rigid as more weight is added. These springs are extremely well suited for towing, they just don't have the adjustability of the air springs, which you may not even desire. This will work just as well as the air springs, but the air springs have a little smoother ride....

• Can Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Kits Be Used With Factory Overload Springs
  This particular Air Lift LoadLifter kit you'd looked at, part # AL57298 can indeed be installed to the factory overload spring using the shorter U-bolts provided with the installation hardware. The lower air spring bracket would install as shown in the provided diagram. In addition to the air spring kit, you might consider an on-board compressor system like # F2158. A compressor system will let you add or remove air pressure from the system while you're on the fly without needing to exit...

• Parts Needed to Safely Tow a Pop Up Camper with a 2016 Kia Sedona
  1. Normally I'd say that your 2016 Kia Sedona would be just fine as long as the pop up has brakes, but since your towing capacity without brakes is only 1,000 lbs it would be a good idea to install one. As far as the warranty is concerned you are protected by the Federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. The Act states that if something breaks on your vehicle and you take it in for warranty repair, the dealer must honor your warranty unless whatever modifications you have added to your vehicle...

• How To Help Prevent Sag While Towing with a 2019 Ram 1500
  In order to help prevent sag while towing with a 2019 Ram 1500 (4x4 or 4x2) you have a few options, the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs part # SSR-307-47 or the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F4130. The Coil-Rite Springs are nice because you can adjust them for varying loads whereas the SumoSprings are non-adjustable. The SumoSprings however are maintenance free whereas the Coil-Rite Springs are not. That said, the adjustability of the Coil-Rite Springs exceeds the...

• Troubleshooting Older Firestone Air Compressor Having Trouble Pressurizing Air Lines
  The best way to determine what is going on is to disconnect the air line directly at the air compressor and then see if it is blowing out air when you turn it on. If it isn't blowing air or if it is struggling to maintain air pressure then that means the compressor is shot or there is a air escaping elsewhere on the compressor. Either way the best solution is to get a new air compressor. If it is blowing air and isn't struggling to maintain pressure then you have something going on with...

• Comparing Rubber Spring and Air Bag Suspension for 2018 Ford F-150 For Towing Support
  We have suspension enhancement kits that are a confirmed fit and will work great on your 2018 Ford F-150. Like you mentioned there are air bag kits like the Firestone part # F2582 which have the advantage of giving you total adjustability on how much suspension support you want. The downside is that you have to maintain air pressure in the air bags and have a bit more involved of an install. The other option is the rubber spring kits like the Timbren part # TFR1504E which have the advantage...

• Recommended Firestone Air Bags on a 3 Inch Suspension Lifted 2012 Toyota Tundra TRD
  For your 2012 Toyota Tundra TRD, there are special kits for compatibility with air springs. I recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2445 along with the 3 inch lift spacer kit # F2368. This suspension enhancement comes with the manual inflation valves, but if you want the convenience of leveling your truck at any time, I recommend the Firestone Air Command I - Analog Gauge w/ Standard-Duty Compressor # F2158. This gives your the compressor, switch, and gauge to assist.
