When the back end squats under a heavy trailer or full bed, handling and braking can take a hit. This Firestone Ride-Rite kit adds up to 5,000 lbs of rear axle support to keep your truck level and stable when towing or hauling. The double-convoluted air bags work with your factory suspension to bring the stance back to level so your ride stays smooth and your headlights stay aimed where they should.
No need to crawl under the truck or jump in and out of the cab every time you want to tweak pressure. The built-in compressor and wireless controller let you inflate or deflate both air bags together right from your smartphone using the Firestone app. You can fine-tune from inside the cab or out by the hitch, making it easy to level at a campsite or adjust on the fly for changing loads.
Firestone designed this kit so you aren’t chasing extra parts. It includes the air bags, Air Command 9523 standard duty air compressor, wireless control system, custom brackets, mounting panel, fittings, lines, and hardware. The precision brackets bolt to factory attachment points, and the compressor mounts on a no-drill plate for a clean setup. Depending on experience, installation can take up to a day but everything needed comes in the box.
Road salt, grime, and moisture can eat through cheap hardware fast. This system uses plated, coated, or brass components for corrosion resistance so everything stays solid season after season. Reinforced rubber and tight-sealing fittings hold pressure reliably while you’re running anywhere from 5 to 100 psi. With a limited lifetime warranty on the air bags and 2-year coverage on the compressor and hardware, it’s built for long-term hauling confidence.

Hi, everybody, Andy here with etrailer. Let's take a quick look at this Firestone Ride-Rite Airbag Kit with Easy-Mount Compressor and wireless control. Now, if you're looking to keep your truck level, stable, and comfortable while towing or hauling, this Firestone Air-Ride Ride-Rite Kit is gonna be a great option for you to consider. The air springs are custom-fit for your specific vehicle. These use precision brackets that are gonna bolt right into place in those factory mounting points, so what that means for you is no guesswork, and really, no major modifications to your vehicle. Speaking of fitment, this is going to work with your 2001 to 2010 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 2500, 2500 HD and 3500.
And within that year span, it's also gonna work with the Classic and the new-body vehicles as well. So, all that to say, on custom-fit components such as this airbag kit, it is vital that you go through our Vehicle Fit Guide here at etrailer, and just simply input the year, make, and model of your vehicle and answer any other questions that it might have for you and our Fit Guide will do the work of confirming that this will work for you, or it will offer something that is compatible or comparable if this isn't the exact fit that you're looking for. But this system is going to give you up to 5,000 pounds of additional load-leveling support. And what that means is it's gonna help your rear suspension stay level under those heavy loads. It's gonna help improve handling, braking and overall stability.
However, it is important to note that these airbags don't actually increase your vehicle's weight-carrying capacity, so you do wanna make sure that you're staying within the recommended weight capacity from your manufacturer of your vehicle since this doesn't actually increase that capacity, but this is going to make hauling and towing a whole lot safer, more controlled, and more comfortable. These reinforced rubber airbags and tight-sealing fittings are gonna work together to prevent leaks, and the plated brass components are going to resist corrosion, so the whole setup is built to last. It's gonna withstand the elements that it's constantly exposed to. And the included compressor is compact, it does run on 12-volt power. It is designed for reliable, everyday use.
It doesn't require an air tank. And this kit includes a no-drill mounting bracket for the compressor and the wireless controller here. So, what I wanna do is, I basically have everything laid out on my table as it comes out of the box. I do have the airbags kind of loosely assembled with the brackets, but on your screen, I have a picture of what the no-drill mounting bracket for the compressor and the wireless control unit is going to look like just to kind of give you an idea of how these parts are gonna work together. One of the biggest perks is the wireless app-based control system.
You're gonna be able to inflate or deflate both the airbags at the same time, right from your smartphone, whether you're sitting in the cab of your truck or standing outside checking your trailer. The pressure's gonna be adjustable from anywhere between five and 100 PSI, so you're gonna be able to dial in exactly the support that you need. This is a single-path control system, and the app is gonna be a free download either from your Android or iOS App Store. So, you download that onto your smartphone, then you connect it to the system, and you'll be good to go. So, this kit includes everything that you see here on my table before me. You are gonna get a great set of instructions to walk you through the installation and the operation. If you're looking for any other specs or measurements that I didn't cover with you during our time together, take a look at this product page. We do have some additional pieces of information that you might find helpful if you're looking for it. But if you have any other questions, don't hesitate to reach out. We do wanna make sure that you're getting exactly what you need. Well, again, my name's Andy, thank you for joining me.
Ratings & Reviews
I like how the Firestone All-in-one comes with everything I needed without needing to piece together a bunch of parts. The best part is that the air bags and the compressor system come in one package, so everything is already matched and ready to install. I still had to mount the compressor myself, but there’s no guesswork on what works with what.
Installation takes a little time, but the bags make a noticeable difference. They level out the truck, cut down on squat, and help everything feel more stable when you’re towing. And with the onboard compressor, I can add or remove air whenever I need, without carrying around a bulky compressor or stopping at the gas station.
It’s a solid, well-built kit that simplifies the whole process. For anyone who tows often and wants a clean, all-in-one solution, it’s a great fit.
