• 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...

• Air Suspension for 2017 Nissan Pathfinder
  There is one rear suspension enhancement for your 2017 Nissan Pathfinder, the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs # F4118. These springs can adjust from 5 to 35 psi and will help keep your Pathfinder level from exactly the amount that you haul, at least 500 lbs to no more than 1,000 lbs. For an onboard compressor you can use the Firestone Air Command II # F2178, which is a dual function compressor that allows you to inflate each of the springs individually to help level your ride. I've...

• What is the Proper Pin Weight Percentage of the Total Weight for a 5th Wheel Trailer
  Definitely false. You want to shoot for the pin weight of a 5th wheel trailer to be about 20% of the loaded weight of the trailer. If the hitch weight of your trailer is 2,000 lbs though that entire pin weight is transferred, not just a portion of the pin weight. This is actually reflected in the weight ratings for 5th wheel trailer hitches (and can usually be found in the owner's manual for your trailer). If you check out the popular B&W Companion # BWRVK3500 you can see that the gross...

• Recommended Dual Path Air Compressor for Firestone Air Bags on 2004 Ford F-350
  To add an air compression system for your Firestone air bags on your 2004 Ford F-350 there are a couple options to consider. The more economical option is the Firestone Air Command II # F2178, which has an analog display and electric dual-gauge control panel which will mount under the dash of your F-350. It will accommodate your needs for different psi for your camper and do the job thoroughly. The other option, which offers you a bit more convenience, is the Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor...

• Firestone Air Bag Kit that Fits 2019 Ford F-250
  Hey Larry, for a Firestone Ride Rite kit that fits your 2019 Ford F-250 the part number you would need is the part # F35FV. You do not need to install a compressor at same time like you were interested in. There wouldn't be a way to add an air tank though if you didn't install a compressor kit as the tank would deflate at same time as bags if you were to use one.

• Will Hellwig Helper Springs Impact Ride Quality on 2016 Toyota Tundra
  The Hellwig Pro Series Helper Springs # HE49FR are going to give you a stiffer ride when installed. These are a heavy-duty application with a weight capacity of 2,500 lbs. A better option that would have less of an impact would be the Hellwig EZ-990 Helper Springs # HE86VR. These aren't as robust and have a weight capacity of 2,000 lbs. If you use the minimum adjustment when installing the Hellwig springs the impact will be less than the max. Both will give you that support you're looking...

• Compatibility of Air Lift Air Bags and B&W Gooseneck Hitch 1108 on 2007 Ford F-250 Super Duty
  I do have a solution, but the Air Lift # AL57291 is only compatible with the B&W 1105 and 1199R. These and other Air Lift air bags will not work with the # BWGNRK1108. What you can use instead is the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2400. Even if the Air Lift did fit, I would recommend the Firestone since they have a superior design and will be more reliable. These have the same 5,000 lb load leveling capacity and won't interfere with your B&W hitch once installed. Since you're...

• Solution for Discontinued Firestone Replacement Remote
  I do have a solution, but the replacement remote for your system is no longer available. The only option is to completely replace the system. If you want to stick with a wireless option then I recommend the Air Command Compressor System # F2610. This uses your smartphone so you won't have to worry about a replacement remote in the future. This is also a single path system. If you want a dual path it would have to be a replacement with an analog gauge like the # Firestone Air Command II # F2178.

• Comparing Firestone and Air Lift Air Bags on 2022 GMC Sierra 3500
  For air bags on your 2022 GMC Sierra 3500 I would recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Double Convoluted - Rear Axle # F2613 over the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 # AL57341. Since they have the same capacity the difference to focus on is in the construction. The construction of the Firestone air bags is superior to the Air Lift. The Air Lift bags are constructed of 2-ply, fabric-reinforced rubber while the Firestone has 4 layers of reinforced rubber for added durability....

• Recommended Air Bags for Towing 5th Wheel With 2016 Ram 3500 Dually
  The Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle # AL57595 will fit your 2016 Ram 3500 dually. That being said, I would always choose Firestone if given the option. At 4,000 lbs you will be fine using a kit rated for 5,000 lbs as long as you don't think you will be getting close to exceeding that capacity. For your truck I recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Double Convoluted - Rear Axle # F2615. These air bags have a 5,000 lbs load-leveling capacity....

• Which Air Bags Fit 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali With Adaptive Ride Control
  The # AL59565 is designed for Sierra 1500 models up through 2018. Regardless, Air Lift does not make air bags that are compatible with the adaptive ride control on your 2020 Sierra 1500 Denali. The good news for you is that Firestone does. What you can use is the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2609. The bracket design on these ensures it will not interfere with your adaptive ride control. Not only will these fit, they are a higher quality and have additional capacity over the...

• Recommended Suspension Enhancement for 2021 GMC Denali 1500 With Adaptive Ride Control
  For suspension enhancement that is compatible with the Adaptive Ride Control on your 2021 GMC Sierra Denali 1500 I recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Double Convoluted - Rear Axle # F2609. These air bags will keep you level while towing and improve steering and stability. These have a load leveling capacity of 5,000 lbs and feature a simple, no-drill installation. I also highly recommend adding an air compressor like the Firestone Air Command II # F2178. This will allow...

• Should I Add Suspension Enhancement To My 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500 Pulling A 13,500 Pound Camper?
  As 13,500 pounds of weight can put a considerable amount of strain on your 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500's factory suspension, I do recommend supplementing it. And specifically, I recommend the American made Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2613. This can be inflated up to 100 psi, giving you up to 5,000 pounds of load leveling capacity, but can then be deflated down to 5 psi when you are not towing. This means your stock ride will be affected significantly less than other heavier...

• Air Bag Kit Fitment for 2021 GMC Sierra 2500 with B&W Gooseneck Hitch
  Thanks for reaching out! The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs with Internal Jounce Bumpers # AL88341 (as well as the other Air Lift options) use some bolts that wrap around the frame of your 2021 GMC Sierra 2500 for the installation and from what I'm seeing it looks like it will be a close call for fitting with your B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1020. Because of this I recommend going with the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2613...

• 2003 Ford Excursion Air Bag Kit Recommendation
  The air bag kit I recommend going with for your 2003 Ford Excursion is the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2251 which don't have the inner bump stops, but that's because they don't need them. Firestone has been in the air bag business a long time and has the best construction due to 4 layers of reinforced rubber, the braided wire girdle to give it the correct shape, and the rolled crimp seal that keeps the mounting plates from damaging the air bags. Attached is an installation...

• Will the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs # F4135 Fit a 2015 Toyota 4Runner with 2 inch Lift
  Since you have a 2 inch lift on your 2015 Toyota 4Runner you will need to do adjust the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs # F4135 to accommodate the 2 extra inches. You can try cutting the bump stops so that they are 2 inches longer than what the installation instructions call for, but that has not been tested so you wouldn't necessarily know what the weight capacity rating would be. I spoke with my contact at Firestone and he said that he doesn't have any airbags that are fit the...

• Does Firestone Dual Path Compressor For Air Bags Make Air Transfer on Turn
  That's an interesting question, and yes, a dual-path compressor like the Firestone Air Command # F2178 can allow air to transfer from one side to the other in a turn. Its function is to allow you to level the air bags to different pressures for uneven loads, but air can transfer. In all honesty, a dual-path compressor really isn't needed for general towing applications, and a single-path compressor is going to exactly what you need, so that's the route I recommend going, using the Air...

• Firestone Air Compressor System with Gauge and Switch
  The Firestone Air Command - Heavy-Duty Compressor and 1/2-Gallon Tank # F2047 is designed for use in conjunction with the Firestone automatic leveling system and with the electric quad-gauge control for RVs. The # F2232 compressor does not included a gauge in the kit. The kit is designed to work with air suspension units with gauges already installed. We do carry Firestone air compressors the do include the gauge and switches. For a light duty single function compressor, I recommend the...

• Which Firestone Air Bags Fit 2018 Ford E-350 Cutaway
  For the 2018 E-350 Cutaway with dual rear wheels you need the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2061. The # F22ZR you were looking at are designed for the E-450. These have a load-leveling capacity of 5,000 lbs and come with a 2-year warranty on hardware as well as a limited lifetime warranty on the air springs. I also highly recommend adding an air compressor like the Firestone Air Command # F2178. This will allow you to adjust the pressure of the air bags from the cab no matter...

• Wire Functions of Replacement Wiring Harness for Firestone Level Command and Air Command
  The closest thing available to a wiring diagram of the Replacement Wiring Harness for Firestone Level Command and Dual Electric Air Command # F9307 are what is shown in the directions for the Firestone Air Command II # F2178 you have. I have posted those, as well as linked those directions. What I can tell you is that on the harness the red wire will be for the battery, the white wire is going to go to the control panel, and the orange wire to the compressor, as you can see in the directions....

• Comparing Firestone and Air Lift Air Bags for 2014 Ford F-250
  The Firestone # F2597 are the air bags I recommend for your 2014 Ford F-250. Firestone quality and durability is far superior to the Air Lift air bags like # AL88395. The Firestone have 4 layers of reinforced rubber and a braided wire girdle which increases burst pressure. By comparison, the Air Lift only has 2-ply fabric reinforced rubber. Firestone also uses a superior anchor system with the rolled crimp seal to keep the air bags secure. The Air Lift may include a jounce spring but that...

• 2005 GMC Sierra Firestone Ride Rite Air Bag Kit Options
  If you're needing all of the brackets then it's actually more cost-effective to get a whole new kit than to get the brackets for your 2005 GMC Sierra. I've actually looked into this a number of times (hoping that it changes) and I've reached out to Firestone a handful of times as well and unless you're only replacing a few brackets you'll save money with a new kit (plus I'm not sure I would trust the integrity of any of the brackets on a totaled truck). For a new Ride-Rite kit we have the...

• Rear Air Bag Suspension Setup For 2015 Kia Sedona To Reduce Vehicle Sag
  The only rear suspension enhancement system that is confirmed to fit your 2015 Kia Sedona is the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle # F4138. This air bag setup has a weight capacity of 1000lbs which should be more than enough for your vehicle. It will drastically reduce rear-end sag on your Sedona as well as improve handling and reduce body roll on turns. While this kit includes everything necessary for installation and use, you may find it useful to add a compressor kit...

• What Is Difference Between Firestone Ride-Rite F2535 And F2550 For 2015 Ford F-250 Diesel
  The Firestone Ride-Rite suspension systems are designed for your truck based on the engine. For your 2015 F-250 with a diesel engine the Ride-Rite system designed to fit your truck is part # F2597. Part # F2550 is designed for gasoline engines. The difference is the brackets used to install the Ride-Rite system on the frame of the truck. Both of these system will work with a gooseneck hitch system installed on the truck. You can also control the amount of air pressure you have in...
