5,000-lb Capacity. Ride-Rite air springs enhance your factory suspension for safety and stability when you are pushing a plow. They reduce strain on your front axle, keep your vehicle level, and adjust to load size for a consistently smooth ride.

Note: The construction material of the fittings may vary.
Firestone Ride-Rite springs are designed to increase safety and reduce the strain on your vehicle when you are pushing a plow or hauling a heavy, front-mounted load such as a large grille. The springs partner with your existing front suspension system to help keep your vehicle level, maintain even load distribution and increase stability. Hauling heavy loads or pushing a plow can make the front of your vehicle sag and the rear end rise. This puts more strain on your front axle and reduces contact between your rear tires and the road, causing problems with braking, steering control and traction. By adding air springs to your front suspension, you can help to level your vehicle and improve braking and handling. The air springs also help to level your headlight beams and reduce wear on your tires.
Adjustable Air Pressure
The air pressure in your Ride-Rite springs can be adjusted manually, side to side, to compensate for off-center loads. A centered load improves the stability of your vehicle by reducing body roll. The air springs will also help to absorb road shock and to soften contact between your axle and frame. This prevents bottoming out, thus improving ride comfort. Route the air line tubing for the springs to your vehicle's bumper to provide easy access to the manual inflation valves.
Air Spring Construction
Firestone's double-convoluted Ride-Rite air springs are designed to give you maximum load support and enhance the performance and ride comfort of your vehicle. The rubber springs provide cushioning between your suspension components and operate at up to 100 psi. The springs have four layers of reinforced rubber to ensure durability and enhance load support. A braided wire girdle creates the double-convoluted shape of each air spring, increasing the burst pressure of the spring. The rubber springs are attached to corrosion-resistant metal end plates with a time-proven, rolled crimp seal that keeps the bags securely anchored.
Air Spring Installation
Each Ride-Rite kit includes custom-fit brackets that connect to your axle and frame. The brackets provide the mounting points for the air springs. Drilling may be required for some applications.

Great business
Great product on my 38 foot class a stabilizes the ride
Delivered, going to install on the class A motorhome this weekend, will update later
I'm very impressed with this product. It greatly improved the ride of my motorhome(2008 fleetwood Terra). It took me 2 and 1/2 hours to install after assembly. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SHARP DRILL BITS..I definitely recommend this product if it fits your application.
I really do think they’ve helped the ride especially in windy conditions.
However, after checking for leaks at connections etc. I find that I have to “air up” the air bags before I leave on a trip.
One of two elbow fittings was smaller so I had to go and buy a nipple to install it makingbit a bit taller, so I had to just reverse the install, photos added
Excellent fast free delivery, good instructions, 11/2-2 hrs installation time, not too difficult. I put 80lbs psi both sides and now going over a rough road at 55 mph instead of banging hard It bounces. Hopefully l can change the air pressure and find the sweet spot.
1st photo wheel off the ground, 2nd photo wheel on the ground. I installed Summo springs 4 yrs ago and they were totally flat,so not much help. As you can see in the 2nd photo the Summon spring has lifted up an inch, so some improvement there.
The product was outstanding and did what I ordered it for. One of the air values was missing the value stem and the hose being in box so long made it a little difficult to route. All that being said am very pleased with the product.
Install was straight forward and made a major difference in ride Quality putting bags on front and rear
Very happy! They do the trick :-)
On time and exactly what I expected
