• Where Should Coil-Rite Air Valve be Installed on a 2019 VW Atlas?
  Hey David! The supports that come with the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs # F4175 aren't going to be used for your 2019 Volkswagen Atlas. This kit fits a handful of vehicles, so the instructions say to put the air valve at either the top or bottom depending on what will be best to keep the air valve from getting damaged. Does this help you out at all?

• Best Coil Helper Springs For 2021 Nissan Rogue Front Wheel Drive
  Hey Albert, thanks for reaching out. The Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs # F4175 are what I recommend for your 2021 Nissan Rogue front wheel drive. These will fit any model with rear coil springs, so the front wheel drive will not be an issue. They will fit two wheel drive or four wheel drive models, so as long as your Rogue has rear coils you will be good. I have included a link to an install video for you below. Feel free to reach out with any questions.

• Do Firestone Coil-Rite Springs Need to Fill the Whole Spring
  That's a good question, but coil springs like the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs # F4175 do not have to fill up the entire vertical space of the spring during installation. What you are seeing in regards to photos is likely the spring during the installation process with the vehicle up on a lift (like in the accompanying photo). At this time there is no weight on the suspension, the the springs are extended all the way, but when the vehicle's weight, particularly with a load,...

• Recommendation For Preventing Rear Suspension Sag When Towing With 2020 Volkswagen Atlas W/ Tow PKG
  I do have an option to help prevent sag in your rear suspension when towing your trailer that does not include a weight distribution system for your 2021 Volkswagen Atlas. The option I recommend is adding the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs # F4175 which install inside of your rear coil springs and allow you to air them up with up to 35 PSI of air to help support your rear suspension when the weight of your trailer is attached and can be aired down to 5 PSI when not towing to keep...

• Sway Control For 2022 VW Atlas That Cant Use Weight Distribution
  While there isn't a way to completely mimic how a weight distribution hitch works, you can use a friction sway control system for a safer way to tow with your 2022 VW Atlas, and you'll also need a bracket that goes over your ball mount: - Reese Friction Sway Control Kit # 83660 - Reese Sway-Control Bracket for 2" Ball Mounts # RP26003 Then to help with any suspension sag, what you can do is add air springs to the coils, the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs # F4175.

• Can I Install Air Helper Springs at Home on My 2018 Volkswagen Atlas
  The Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs # F4175 will work great on your 2018 Volkswagen Atlas. This kit can and has been installed by many people at home. It helps if you can get your hands on a set of car ramps to get the rear of the vehicle in the air a bit to give you more room to work but other than that the installation is very straight forward. I also recommend picking up a T-Fitting # F3025-1 so that it make inflating and deflating the air bags much easier.

• Sway Control Options Without Use of Weight Distribution System
  You hit the nail right on the head for the best option for sway control that does not require the use of a weight distribution system, which is an electronic sway control, the Tuson Asymmetric Sway Control # 335TSC-1000. This is going to do the job of helping control sway on your 2019 VW Atlas wonderfully by itself, and there isn't going to be anything else needed. The Sway Command is easy to set up and is going to counteract trailer sway by lightly tapping the trailer brakes to ensure...

• Can a Weight Distribution Hitch Be Used On a 2018 VW Atlas
  If the owner's manual states a weight distribution system cannot be used then we cannot recommend using one. That said, we do still have options that can take ones place such as the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F4175 which like a weight distribution system will transfer the weight from the rear of the car to the front. If the trailer has brakes you can use the Tuson Asymmetric Sway Control part # 335TSC-1000 for sway control but this is about your only option for sway and...

  I may be able to help you determine a rear suspension enhancement kit for your 2024 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport SEL Premium R Line as there currently is not a system confirmed to fit.

• Is There a Way to Allow Both Firestone Coil Rite Bags to Inflate at Same Time
  Yes, if you want to use a union tee like the # F3025-1 you can easily inflate both bags of the Firestone kit part # F4175 equally with the same inflation valve. Unless for some reason you need ability to have one bag with more pressure than other this is the way to go for sure.

• Firestone Air Bag Fitment on 2018 Volkswagen Atlas Rear Coil Springs
  With the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs # F4175 installed on your 2018 Volkswagen Atlas there may be some vertical play left and will depend on how far the spring is compressed. The air bags are designed to fit the width inside the spring. When Inflated the bag will push into the coils and that is how they provide the additional support.

• Recommended Trailer Hitch And Wiring To Tow A Trailer With A 2022 VW Atlas
  We definitely have what you need to get your 2022 Volkswagen Atlas all set up to tow a small trailer. There will be a couple more things needed than just a hitch and wiring, but not many. With that said, let's get into it. First thing's first, the hitch. For this we have the American made Curt # C24ER. There is some fascia trimming required for the installation, but no drilling, so it is a pretty straight forward install. This is also rated up to 6,000 pounds towing and 900 pounds of tongue...

• Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2021 Volkswagen Atlas
  The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C93CR you were looking at is confirmed to fit your 2021 Volkswagen Atlas as long as it is the Cross Sport model. To tow your trailer with a 2-5/16" coupler you will need a ball mount and a 2-5/16" hitch ball. To find the correct ball mount you will want to measure from the ground to the top inside edge of the trailer hitch receiver, and then from the ground to the bottom of the coupler on your trailer. The difference between these measurements is the drop...

• Are Replacement Air Bags Available For Firestone F4175 Kit?
  I reached out to Firestone and the air bags used in the # F4175 are not available by themselves. To replace them you'll need an entire new kit # F4175. The most common reason your bags would both rip or pop is due to under inflation. They need to have a minimum of 5 PSI air pressure at all times, so it's recommended to double check the air pressure every month. A 10 degree change in weather can change the PSI in the air bags by 1 PSI so if you're really keeping them at 5 PSI I'd be checking...

  I reached out to the manufacturer, Firestone, who said the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs # F4175 that fit your 2018 VW Atlas have a deflated measurement of 3.56" in diameter and 8.75" long. These springs will fit right inside the coils of your Atlas and help to increase the overall handling of your vehicle when you are towing.

• Suspension Enhancement Options Available for a 2019 VW Atlas
  I spoke to Air Lift and, unfortunately, they did not recommend using the # AL61730 on your 2019 VW Atlas. They stated that they do not have anything that will work with a VW Atlas as of yet. I contacted Firestone as well and had better luck, however. The Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs # F4175 can fit the VW Atlas from 2018 to 2021. Though we do not have an install video of these on an Atlas as of yet, I did include one we did on a 2017 Nissan Rogue. The install will be much the...

• Will Firestone Coil-Rite Rear Air Helper Springs Part # F4176 Fit 2013 Volkswagen Beetle Diesel
  According to my research the 2013 Volkswagen Beetle diesel came with either a 1.6L or a 2.0L turbo diesel. The Firestone Coil-Rite Rear Air Helper Springs Part # F4176 will not fit the turbo-equipped Beetle. However, we do offer a similar kit from Firestone that will fit the turbo-equipped 2013 Beetle, part # F4175. This Firestone Coil-Rite kit includes all parts required for installation (with no drilling necessary) and allows for manual inflation of the air bags. If you wish, Firestone...

• Helper Springs for a 2010 Volkswagen TDI
  The problem on the TDI models of the 2010 Volkswagen Jetta is that apparently the chassis is slightly different than regular gas models in terms of mounting the air bags so TDI models are excluded. There are components related to the diesel motor that interfere with the placement of the brackets that hold the air bags. We do have a suspension enhancement product that will fit the TDI models. You can use SumoSprings # CSS-1145R to help support heavy loads and improve ride quality.

• Can Air Lift 1000 Air Helper Springs for Ram 1500 Replace Firestone Coil-Rite 4175 for 2019 VW Atlas
  The Air Lift 1000 Heavy Duty Air Helper Springs # AL60828HD have a height of 12-1/2" and width of 6". These are designed to fit the 2019-2022 Ram 1500. The Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs # F4175 fit select years of the Volkswagen Atlas, Beetle, Jetta, Passat, Lincoln MKC, and Nissan Rogue. These are not interchangeable. It looks like you have a 2019 VW Atlas. If that is the case, the only custom fit option is the # F4175. If you have a 2021 Ram 1500 then the # AL60828HD would...

• Does Union Tee Put Same PSI In Both Firestone Air Bags
  Hey Dan, if you were to use a union tee like the part # F3025-1 with the Firestone Coil Rite kit part # F4175 the entire system would all have the same psi. So if you put 35 psi in to the inflation valve both bags would have that.

• Installing Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs on 2013 VW Beetle
  Which spring are you using? You'll want to make sure you're using the correct spring for the vehicle. If your Beetle is a Turbo model, use # F4175 or # F4176 for non-turbo models. When you're installing the air springs, it's very important that the car is up on jack stands being held by the frame, not by the axle or the suspension. With the rear suspension hanging free, there should be enough space between the coils of the spring to shove the air spring into the coil, after you've flattened...
