Firestone Coil-Rite Air Spring Basics

Firestone Coil-Rite springs fit inside your existing rear coil springs to maximize the effectiveness of your suspension system. The added cushion provided by the air springs allows your vehicle to better handle a heavy load or trailer. Hauling heavy loads or towing a heavy trailer can make the rear of your vehicle sag and the front end rise. This puts more strain on your rear axle and reduces contact between your front tires and the road, causing problems with braking, steering control and traction. By adding air springs to your rear suspension, you can help to level your vehicle for more effective braking and handling under heavy loading or when you encounter adverse road conditions. The air springs also help to level your headlight beams and reduce wear on your tires.

Adjustable Air Pressure

The air pressure in your Coil-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 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.


Firestone Coil-Rite air spring components

Air Spring Construction

Coil-Rite springs are constructed of durable, elastic polyurethane to ensure years of service. Single replacement springs (sold separately) are available for maintenance to an existing Coil-Rite kit.


Air Spring Installation

The Coil-Rite springs install inside your existing coil springs. The custom-fit springs attach to your vehicle's spring seats.

  • Parts Needed to Safely Tow a Pop Up Camper with a 2016 Kia Sedona
    1. Normally I'd say that your 2016 Kia Sedona would be just fine as long as the pop up has brakes, but since your towing capacity without brakes is only 1,000 lbs it would be a good idea to install one. As far as the warranty is concerned you are protected by the Federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. The Act states that if something breaks on your vehicle and you take it in for warranty repair, the dealer must honor your warranty unless whatever modifications you have added to your vehicle...

  • Rear Air Bag Suspension Setup For 2015 Kia Sedona To Reduce Vehicle Sag
    The only rear suspension enhancement system that is confirmed to fit your 2015 Kia Sedona is the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle # F4138. This air bag setup has a weight capacity of 1000lbs which should be more than enough for your vehicle. It will drastically reduce rear-end sag on your Sedona as well as improve handling and reduce body roll on turns. While this kit includes everything necessary for installation and use, you may find it useful to add a compressor kit...

  • Suspension Enhancement for 2016 Kia Sedona
    eTrailer.com does not manufacture air bags, but we do offer suspension enhancement air springs for your 2016 Kia Sedona. Firestone's Coil-Rite Airs Helper Springs, # F4138, are the only enhancement we currently offer that is a fit for your vehicle, but they are a custom fit. This system utilizes compressed air to partner with your vehicle's rear suspension. The air springs fit inside the metal coil springs already on your 2016 Kia Sedona to help with a number of issues, like sagging,...

  • Comparing the Reese Light Duty Weight Distribution System to the Pro Series RB2 for a 2700lb trailer
    When choosing a weight distribution system, the most important factor to consider is the fully loaded and ready to tow tongue weight of your trailer plus the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of your 2004 Honda Odyssey. Tongue weight of a trailer is typically calculated to be 10 to 15 percent of the gross trailer weight. If your Scamp trailer weighs 2,700 lbs, then the tongue weight may be around 270 lbs to 405 lbs. You must then add the weight of the cargo that you load in the back...

  • Can a 2015 Kia Sedona Safely Tow a 3,700 Pound Jayco Travel Trailer
    What I recommend is a trailer that has a gross trailer weight that meets or is under the towing capacity of your 2015 Kia Sedona which is 3,500 pounds as long as the trailer has brakes. You can tow a trailer rated higher provided that the actual weight of the trailer does not exceed that 3,500 pound tow vehicle capacity. So they aren't lying about that but you do run the risk of overloading the tow vehicle by going with a heavier trailer. You will likely need suspension enhancement when...

  • Will The Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs # F4138 Fit a 2017 Kia Sedona
    Doing a parts search I do see the same rear coil springs were used on the 2015-2018 Kia Sedona. Unless there is something added inside your coil springs that would prevent the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs # F4138 I do not see why they wouldn't fit. I have also linked an installation video near the bottom of the page you can reference to determine if there are any other differences with your rear suspension. Firestone would not tell me the dimensions of the bag itself. If there...

  • How to Get the Rear Spring off the Spring Perch on a 2010 Kia Sedona
    A long screw driver or pry bar should do that trick. I had a similar situation with my car and was able to pry the last bit of the spring off the perch by using a pry bar in one hand and a long slot screwdriver in the other. I pried up with the pry bar and then to the side with the screwdriver to help slide it off the perch. Be careful and take your time. To get it back on you will just need to reverse the process. Leverage is your friend, use the pry bar to compress the spring and the...

  • Installing Firestone Coil-Rite Air helper Springs On 2000 Honda Odyssey
    Per the installation instructions for the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs, part # F4138, the overload bumper inside the coil spring will need to be unbolted and removed. You will also need to drill a hole in the lower control arm when installing this system. I have attached the installation instructions for this system you can check out. Installing a system like the Firestone Air Springs will not increase the vehicle weight carrying capacity.

  • How to Check for Air Leaks on a Firestone Coil-Rite System with Inaccessible Inflation Valve
    That is an excellent point. Firestone was recently here for training and they did address the issues installers have had with the instructions. Basically they are going to be redesigning all the instructions. But for you, you can check for leaks at every other place that you can (without disassembling the vehicle). Assuming everywhere else checks out then if there is a leak the only remaining place it could be would be the one place you can't get to unless you pull that control arm back down.

  • Suspension Enhancement Options for Towing With 2004 Acura MDX
    The Firestone # F4138 and # W237604138 are the same part. 4138 is the part number, and W237604138 is the SKU number that Firestone uses internally. Both the # F4138 and the Timbren # THROD2 are compatible with MDX models that have the coil spring rear suspensions only. It will not work on models equipped with the Coil-Over-Strut suspension. The Timbren springs will suspend up to 2000 lbs loaded in your MDX, while the Firestone Air Suspension is good for up to 1000 lbs. Neither system...

  • Installation of Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs Part # F4138 on 2007 Hyundai Entourage
    According to our friends at Firestone, drilling the hole in the control arm will not weaken or otherwise damage the vehicle. The hole is absolutely necessary to provide access for the air line to connect to the bottom of the Coil Rite air spring.

    The Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs, part # F4138 will install so that they sit inside the coil springs of your suspension on your Sedona. To install the springs, the lower control arm will be unbolted from the knuckle, allowing it to drop free and the coil spring to be removed so that the air spring can be inserted.
