• 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....

• 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...

• 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...

• 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....

• 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.

  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...

• 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....

• Air Compressor Kit for Firestone Air Bags on a 2005 Ford F-350 Towing a 5th Wheel Trailer
  The Firestone compressor system you choose is going to depend on your needs. If you want a model that fills both air bags at the same time (single path) then I recommend # F2097. This type of system is great if you carry the same load frequently, like towing a trailer, and don't really need to level the truck bed side to side. A model that comes with an air tank, such as # F2543, would be able to add air to the bags faster. If you do need to level the bed side to side as well then I recommend...
