Heavy trailers or bed loads can make the rear sag and the front rise, throwing off steering and braking. The Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs add up to 7,500 lbs of load-leveling capacity to keep your truck level under serious weight. By sharing the load with your factory suspension, they reduce strain on leaf springs, even out tire wear, and keep your headlight aim steady for safer handling when hauling or towing.
Not every haul is maxed out. With air pressure adjustable from 5 psi to 150 psi, these springs let you tune support to match your load. Add air when you’re towing a heavy trailer, or drop pressure for a smoother unloaded ride. Each side can be inflated individually with manual valves to balance off-center loads and maintain even handling.
The RED Label design steps up durability with four layers of reinforced rubber and corrosion-resistant metal end plates. A braided wire girdle forms the double-convoluted shape that boosts burst pressure and increases load support. The rolled crimp seal locks each bag securely, preventing leaks even under high pressure so you can count on consistent performance through every haul.
Each kit comes with brackets, air springs, hardware, air line, and separate valves for manual inflation. The mounting hardware bolts directly to your axle and frame using existing points—no drilling required—so installation goes smoothly for a clean, secure fit. Add a Firestone compressor or gauge system (sold separately) if you want in-cab control later on.
Loaded or unloaded, these air springs help absorb bumps between the axle and frame to prevent bottoming out. They smooth out rough roads and reduce body roll for better stability when cornering or hitting uneven pavement. Every trip feels steadier, even with heavy gear or a trailer behind you.

The ride-rite air bags are working great. I run 15lbs pressure in them all the time due to my fifth wheel attachment in the bed. I run 60 to 70 psi pulling my fifth wheel with a tongue weight of 3650 which is not a problem for the air bags.

Works great. Thought of installing an onboard compressor but decided it wasn’t necessary because the system doesn’t loose air. I think it was a good investment.

It can be tough to cut the airlines without a line cutter like part # AL10530. Since the air bags appear to be leaking, the easiest way to find the leak is to mix a spray bottle with soap and water, then spray the soapy water mix on all of the air bag components with the air bags filled up. If you see any bubbles that is a leak, and you will need replace or fix what is leaking. If it is the air line, cutting it with a line cutter and reattaching may work best. If it seems to be a threaded connection, then tighten the swivel fitting another half inch turn. If it still leaks, deflate the air spring, remove the fitting, and re-coat the threads with thread sealant. Reinstall by hand tightening as much as possible and then use a wrench for an additional two turns. With regard to the app, the suggestion that I have is to delete and reinstall the app to see if that helps with the connection.

The kit will fit tight and could be even tighter if any load is on the vehicle. There will also be a difference if the vehicle is on the ground, on a two post lift or a four post lift. The air springs may not be perfectly vertical and can be up to an inch per convolute off 2 inches total on a double convoluted air spring with no problems. Also, the rear end will move around a little while driving. If the blind nut is cross threaded, then the air spring will need replaced. This is not something that is covered under warranty. However, I will send you some additional information via email. If you can respond with pictures I am wanting to see what else we can do for you.
