When you’re hauling serious weight, rear-end sag can throw off handling and braking. The Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs add up to 5,000 lbs of load-leveling capacity, working between the frame and rear suspension to keep your vehicle level and stable. By keeping the back end from squatting, steering stays sharper, braking more predictable, and headlight aim correct. It’s real support you can feel every time you hook up a camper, trailer, or load the bed full of gear.
Heavy loads don’t have to mean a rough ride. These single-convoluted rubber air springs use up to 100 psi of air pressure to absorb road shock and soften contact between axle and frame. That means fewer jolts over potholes and less bottoming out when the weight piles on. Each bag’s four layers of reinforced rubber and corrosion-resistant metal end plates deliver cushioning that keeps your suspension working smoothly under tough conditions.
Every haul is different, so being able to fine-tune support matters. With manual inflation valves for each side, you can adjust air pressure from 5 psi up to 100 psi—whether you need both sides even or one side stiffer for an off-center load. It’s an easy way to match your ride height and firmness to what you’re carrying so things stay balanced and comfortable mile after mile.
Each kit comes with air springs, brackets, hardware, air line tubing, and separate valves for manual inflation. The rolled crimp seal keeps each spring securely anchored, while corrosion-resistant parts stand up to weather and wear. The result is a suspension upgrade built for consistent performance and long-term reliability without adding strain or permanent sag to your existing suspension.
The construction material of the fittings may vary.

2017 Ford Raptor, Great Kit. There was light grinding to get the bracket to slide onto the frame. Besides that, install was a breeze. My little cousin did most of the work!
Product arrived very quickly, the next day. That was awesome. I installed it that same day late afternoon and night. The product works great. Makes the Van (2009 passenger van 1500 ) feel way more stable and lifts the vans back side up enough to keep it dragging down the road. I haul a trailer full of sound equipment and about 6 band members down the highway every weekend. It was very important to level off the van for weight distribution. I feel like I'm a good with instruction and good with tools. I built race cars in the past. The instructions were not very informative. needed more layout on what to do. A real good [internet] video would have been great. If it wasn't so late at night I would have made one with my findings. I started at 4:30 pm with dinner break and finished at 12 midnight. that's 6 hours to install. I could do the next one in 4 hours learning all the tricks. The passenger side was the hardest. The exhaust was in the way, so installing the 15/16 jam nut was not easy. I didn't have a 15/16 wrench to make it easier. I used a 15/16 socket with a swivel and short extension (3/8's drive) to tighten it. Took a minute with small throws. Great product. Thank you Tommy
Your air ride system worked great on our van towing a 12 foot enclosed trailer from Minnesota to Florida. Handled our big load 2000 miles with no problems. Would recommend your unit to anyone. Was GREAT!!!!!
I chose these bags to assist in hauling my travel trailer, just wanted the extra help. Easy enough to install, follow directions of course. I would completely assemble the airbag with brackets on the bench first as you have plenty of room to install under vehicle and would cut install time in half. I just installed yesterday and am heading out today for camping so we shall see, I am confident they will help. Bags were shipped way faster than expected which was a surprise but top notch service is common for a great company, look forward to more buisiness in the future.

its been a year now and love these bags. The added stability is worth every penny. I run about 10 P.S.I. to level the load. Will put these in my next vehicles for the towing confidence they bring.
I have 2008 chevy 1500 express Explorer Built Conversion Van. I tried another brand and it didn’t fit. This Brand is a perfect fit!!! The ride is excellent! I could not be more happier. It was a pain drilling the hole in the shock mount, I did have to come up with some spacers for the existing brake cable and hose mounts to get them out of the way but overall pretty straight forward install. The ride is a lot better with the trailer being level now. I like the trailer and van level together no more squat. Real nice. I ran the filler valves out the back. It fills fast with a small compressor. I don’t think a on board compressor is needed but it would be a little better with it. Just not worth the effort to install one to me. These are nice bags. It took me about 8 hours total laying on my back and being particular about everything and I am 60 so not as fast as I used to be lol.
