When your truck squats under a heavy trailer or bed load, these Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty air springs pick up the slack. With up to 7,500 lbs of load-leveling capacity at 150 psi, they keep your suspension from bottoming out and your stance even from front to back. That means steadier steering, balanced braking, and headlights that stay aimed where they should be, even with your heaviest gear behind you.
Some days you’re towing a fifth-wheel, other days you’re driving empty. These air springs let you fine-tune ride quality to match the load. Add air for full support when hauling or towing, drop down to 5 psi when unloaded for a smoother ride. Each bag inflates separately through manual valves so you can level side-to-side for uneven loads and keep the truck balanced across any setup.
The Red Label design is all about strength and longevity. Each bag uses four layers of reinforced rubber and a braided wire girdle for the double-convoluted shape, boosting burst pressure and durability. Corrosion-resistant metal end plates are locked in place with Firestone’s proven rolled crimp seal, keeping everything secure and leak-free through years of use. This is serious build quality meant for real work conditions.
The kit includes vehicle-specific brackets, fasteners, air line, and separate inflation valves for manual setup. Everything bolts up between the frame and axle using no-drill hardware designed around existing mounting points. Once installed, you’ve got a clean system ready for whatever compressor setup or manual fill routine works best for you—no fabrication needed to get reliable rear suspension support on demand.

Ratings & Reviews
I got one fill valve, instead off two. So I gave you four not five stars. I did order the tee so I made it work. Good product, No complaints.
VERY PLEASED WITH THIS PRODUCT. MUCH BETTER THAN THEIR COMPETITOR.
The product was exactly as advertised, delivered timely, and I have had zero issues with the product.
Ordered on a Sunday and got a confirmation same day of shipment. Received 2 days later. Very responsive
Dealer installed it and I haven’t used it much yet, but my older kit on another truck has been great for past 5 years
High quality. Fast shipping always satisfied with e trailer!!
Just received my air bags today. Haven't put them on yet but excited i have them already. Thank you
Air bags are great. Tow a ton. Happy. R ecommend
Very easy to get what you need
Gave sit 4 stars only for the fact: yes it will work with 7k axels. However you will need longer U bolts which etrailer does not offer for the 3” or 7k axels. Had to get longer and upgraded U-Bolts from etrailer. I ordered these from Rough Country.
They were longer than needed cut about 1.25” off.
Installation was easy. Installed on a 2020 Ram 3500 Dually hauling a Lance 1172 slide in camper which weighs approximately 4600 pounds dry. Easily raised the truck to level at 120 psi.
Great quality. Excellent installation instructions. Performs perfectly. More than compensates for the weight of my 3000lb cabover camper. Handled around 4500lbs of tile pallets no problem. Definitely recommend these bags
Over the years I’ve ordered quite a bit from eTrailer.com and used them again for this upgrade. Their staff always makes sure to get you the correct answer for questions and are quick to follow up, Their prices are always very competitive too.
I knew what I need and ordered online, the well packed box arrived within a few days and was complete and undamaged.
My son and I installed this Firestone airbag kit late on a Saturday afternoon and took our time. The instructions were well laid out and clear. I didn’t watch any install videos. This was a very easy job if you don’t mind getting dirty. It is important to pay attention to the details highlighted in the instructions. It’s helpful to lay the parts out and practice assembly on a few items since you will be on your back and working where you can’t see what your hands are doing above the axle. Don’t get in a hurry.
I added an airline tee (not included ) to my install since I’m only hauling trailers and I’m not worried about adjusting the levels from side to side, this simplifies adjusting air pressure to just one valve. The parts all seem well made and heavy duty for the job. This is the same brand and model popular with hot shots and camper haulers.
Five stars across the board, I know you will all appreciate my low beams not blinding you when I am rolling down the highway.
Overall I think this is a great product. The only flaw would be the bracket for inflating the air bags. I remounted the air hoses by installing thru the license plate bracket for more security.
The air fitting would not spin readily inside the framework for the top of the air spring without loosening everything up top and bottom. It’s a 90° fitting they give me fits. And that was after I called you find people about the bottom bracket that fits in behind the Leaf spring bolts and thank you very much for that information and all the work you guys did. Special thanks to Sheila C and Kimberly
Installation was easy. Improved the ride with my heavy camper
As a reference point to others, I have a Dodge Ram 3500 without duel rear tires. My biggest loads are my Artic Fox slide-in camper or my 12k utility trailer. I had a set of helper steel springs to help handle the load, but the ride was rough. I dumped the steel helper springs and installed the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Springs. That has allowed me to vary the air pressure with the load in the truck for an improved ride, especially when empty. The structural parts of the kit are very good and well designed and installed quite easily. The air fitting sucked. I never got the ones that go into the top of the air springs installed. I went down to the local auto parts store and got some that fit. I should admit that it was subzero in my unheated garage when I installed them so that added to difficulty of handling small parts in tight spaces. Performance wise they have met my expectations and improved the ride of the truck when loaded or empty.
Airbags were very easy to install and went on my 1 ton Dodge ram 3500 without issues. However, the box was ripped open when I received it and it was missing the two hanger bolt pieces that hold them onto the axle so I had to go and purchase Other ones from the parts store. Hooked this into a single hook up on the airlines and love how it works.
Great product! Easy to install. You will need a hex-bit socket. Package was intact and delivered on schedule. Thank you etrailer.com
Fast shipping and easy install
I installed the 7500# Firestone air bags on my 2017 Ram 3500 SRW. I had replaced the conventional truck bed with a flatbed which added an extra 500# to truck. The Firestone airbags work great and allow me to carry the extra weight, plus extra carry load, without suspension roll or sag allowing me to use my truck for its intended purpose. I would recommend the Firestone brand and eTrailer for any needs concerning suspension, etc you may have…and Melissa knows her product line and is very helpful.
Great. Very simple installation!!
Do not use as a replacement bag for Ram air ride. Will not mount up with factory brackets and air fitting are completely different than factory. Mounting only uses one nut and a nudge in mounting plate to hold in place. If you’re installing on a regular truck that came without factory air ride…you’ll be okay. If your truck had air ride prior…re-use the factory mounts with the new airbags just have to re-drill the main hole and drill a separate smaller hole for the nudge to fit. Bag quality is good air connections could be improved.

Hi Mohammed, I see you have the 2020 Ram 3500. These are meant to fit your truck if you have 4 wheel drive. Just to be sure, is this the specific model you have?
Easy peasy, a couple hours and a six pack. It carries my truck camper perfectly.
