Heavy gear or a small trailer can make the back end sag and throw off your handling. Firestone Coil-Rite air springs fit inside your existing coil springs to keep your suspension level and steady. With up to 1,000 lbs of rear suspension load support, they help you maintain proper ride height so braking and steering stay predictable and your headlights stay aimed where they should.
Bumpy pavement, gravel, or uneven terrain can make a loaded ride uncomfortable. These Coil-Rite air springs absorb road shock and vibration to smooth things out whether you’re towing or driving unloaded. By keeping your suspension balanced, they also help reduce uneven tire wear so your tires last longer and your drive stays comfortable.
No two loads are the same, and that’s where adjustable pressure comes in handy. You can fine-tune the firmness of the Coil-Rite springs anywhere between 5 psi and 35 psi to match the weight you’re carrying. Add air for heavy hauling or drop pressure for daily driving—either way, you get a stable and comfortable ride every time.
Because these air springs mount inside your current coil springs, you get extra support without making the ride stiff when unloaded. The design integrates cleanly with your suspension so you keep the same comfortable feel around town while gaining the extra stability you need when hauling or towing light loads.
For quick pressure adjustments on the go, optional compressors, switches, and gauges (sold separately) make it simple to inflate or deflate your air springs right from the driver’s seat. It’s an easy way to add convenience and control as part of a complete suspension setup designed for everyday hauling.

Hi everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a real quick look at these Firestone Coil Rite Air Helper Springs for your rear axle. Now whether you're carrying heavy tools, camping gear, or towing a small trailer, these air springs are gonna give you just the right amount of support that you're looking for without making your ride stiff. Now, these are going to fit inside of your existing coil springs, helping to keep your suspension balance under light to moderate loads. And these are designed to fit your 2022 and newer Ford Maverick, the all wheel drive models.
And on custom fit parts, such as these springs, I do recommend taking advantage of our vehicle fit guide here at etrailer.com. Simply input the year, make and model of your vehicle and our fit guide will confirm if this will work for you or if we have something comparable that will work for you. So as you know, adding weight to your truck can make steering and braking somewhat unpredictable. Now with up to 1000 pounds of rear suspension support, these Coil Rite Air Springs are gonna help you maintain that proper ride height and improve the overall control of your truck when you're carrying heavier cargo or towing lighter loads. Now these are also going to help keep your headlights properly aligned, and that's gonna help prevent glare and improve visibility at night.
So bumpy roads and uneven terrain can make your ride uncomfortable, and so these air springs are going to absorb road shock. They're gonna help reduce vibration and improve ride comfort whether you're towing or you're driving unloaded by keeping your suspension balanced. They're also gonna help reduce uneven tire wear, extending the life of your tires. So obviously, no two loads are going to be the same, so with adjustable air pressure from five to 35 PSI, you're gonna be able to fine tune the firmness of these Coil Rite springs for daily driving, light towing or carrying a little bit of extra weight. These are designed for vehicles with coil spring suspension.
And as I mentioned at the beginning of our time together, these air springs are going to install inside your existing coils, giving you the added support without affecting ride quality. So this is going to be a really good choice for you to consider for your Maverick. And this is going to include everything that you see here on my table before me. You're gonna get the springs, obviously, the hardware, airline, spacers, so everything that you're gonna need to get this installed in place. I do want to point out that these springs do not actually increase your trucks weight carrying capacity, so you wanna make sure that you're not exceeding your manufacturer's recommended weight limit.
So if you decide that these are gonna be exactly what you need for your Maverick, we would love to hear back from you letting us know how the installation went, and letting us know how you're gonna be putting these into practice on your truck. So drop us a review, give us a call, send us an email, and let us know how things are working out for you. Well, that's gonna wrap up our quick look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.

Ratings & Reviews
They work great. First I added a levelling kit then the Firestone ride rite for when I tow my boat. Really notice the difference when towing.
With fully loaded tongue weight, rear suspension dropped .75 inches, added 10psi to the bags and brought it back up .5 inches.
After installation we are towing on the level and enjoying the ride. In an effort to maintain the minimum air pressure to each Coil-Rite Helper at all times, we installed individual air supplies to each Helper. We used our onboard Horn-Blaster air compressor to supply two air pressure regulators allowing us to easily change air pressure to each individual helper as desired. Each regulator employs a check-valve to maintain pressure to the Helpers in case of a compressor failure. We have marked each pressure gauge to the minimum pressure and another mark for our desired towing pressure.
Installed on a 2016 4Runner in conjunction with a 1-1/2" Daystar coil spring spacer. Since the coil spacer is hollow, I left one segment of the factory bump stop in place to compensate for and match the height of the spacer. I also added a Firestone T-fitting on the airline for a single inflation point and located the inflation valve next to my trailer plug wiring. Quite a pain to wrestle the coil back in place with the added height of the spacer, but that is no fault of the airbags; pry bar proved critical to wedge the coil back in place since I did not try the bottle jack between the frame and axle trick. After nearly a year, no leaks, bags hold air well. I put 25 psi in them for towing our travel trailer, or keep them at 10 psi for normal running around. I have also found them useful to prevent or at least reduce bottoming out the soft rear suspension that happens when off road driving with even just a couple hundred pounds in the back. Even at 25 psi they ride great and you wouldn't know they are back there at 10 psi. Highly recommend for the low cost and added versatility!
Installer couldn't get them to hold air for more than a day.
And if pressure falls below 5 psi, there's a risk of damaging them.
Installation was difficult.
But they do fix the ride height issue when towing.
If I had it to do over, I'd get Sumo springs.
These air bags for my Santa Fe work great. Little more work as we had to drop shocks and drill holes for the Air line, but that's the model of vehicle. Had an air bag leak from the fitting ( not sure if that is because of how the bag is designed or an install error but they shipped me a new air bag very quickly to replace it. Been a week now and no complaints. Make all the difference with sag when towing a boat or camper. Happy customer.
Installation was harder than one would think, but it eliminated the squat my ram 1500 would do on even light trailers. It rides great and has been trouble free.
I learned the hard way that towing with independent rear suspension ends up wearing out the inside edge of the rear tires due to the sag changing the toe-in of the rear tires. I purchased these to raise up the back end when towing. Just finished installing. Went smoothly. I may have missed it in the directions, but on my RAV4, the upper coil spring bumper (They call it the upper protector) can be installed up thru the bottom support of the coil spring. I tried unsuccessfully to slip it between coil springs. It would not fit. It was a bear slipping the collapsed air spring between the coil springs. But with the aid of a very blunt tire iron, it went fairly quickly. Thumbs up so far. Time will tell if tire wear goes away, but I'm sure this will help. Thank You!
I've yet to install these, I will update once complete. But I've heard from numerous people that if you life the van at the jackpot and let the weight of the tire extend the spring, you can remove the stopper with channel locks and slide the bag in using a liberal amount of soap, so you don't need to disassemble the axle. Again, I will update when completed.
THE SERVICE IS AMAZING IHAD A SMALL ISSUE AND IT WAS HANGELED BY PAULA IMEDIATELY THANK YOU THE PRODUCT IS INSTALLED ON A 2014 VW BEETLE THERE IS A HOLE IN THE BOTTOM OF THE SPRING HOLDER SO I INSTALLED THE AIR SPRING WITH THE LINE AT THE BOTT0M AND THREADED THE LINE STRAIGHT OUT THE HOLE PRETTY SMOOTH THANKS AGAIN
my air bags for my 23 ram were easy to install, the service was excellent. I will be telling every body I know about how friendly and easy it was to order from you.
Worked well. Second time I’ve installed them on a 4Runner. The result was a needed improvement in sway, dive and sag. It also helps the steering wander.
Great upgrade for carrying weight in the back or towing a trailer. They are a bit tough to install. I found twisting the bag over in the middle and inserting it between the spring to the trick. Insert the top side on the passenger bag first. Insert the bottom side first on the driver side take care with the week ass tubing because if it folds over on itself in a coil, it will remain pinched which I can see will cause problems in the future. The tubing was better 20 years ago than what they give you today. One tube replacement over $30!! Ridiculous !! I like the right height adjustability and my truck feels more stable with a load of weight in the back of my truck advertised in the video shown below.
Fit my 2001 Expedition perfectly. Took away all the sag when towing and like others have said I like the way it rides better even unloaded with 5PSI in the bags. Well worth the money, easy install. FYI this was my first time using bags on any vehicle, I was nervous and these were fabtastic!
Firestone airbags have worked well for my 2017 4Runner. When I'm not attached to my camper, I keep the airbags deflated to about 5 PSI. But when I put my trailer 3,500 lb. Onto the back of my 4Runner I get several in of sag. I pump up the airbags to about 20 psi and I level out the whole rig. What a perfect hybrid system to have. It's there when you need it. Perfect system for a sagging. Backside on a rear coil spring 4Runner. Thanks, e-trailer
These were just as described as far as quality and look. The installation of them were a little more difficult than they show in the video but can easily be done by someone with basic skills. I would recommend if you have the ability to remove the springs and then just insert the bags that way as I couldn’t get one in without doing that. Otherwise the install is pretty straightforward. Haven’t used them with a load or towing yet but hopefully they will work as designed.
It fit great. And works like a champ... I couldn't be happier with these air helper springs! E trailer made it easy and they followed up with me to make sure i'm pleased with the product... Very happy with the service.
Great product. I must say that they were a little tough to install. A very tight fit. Fortunately for me I had the availability of a vacuum pump. With that I was able to evacuate all the air out of the bags which made them flatter, with that, it made it easier to slide them between the coil springs. I tow a small camper trailer, I usually run around 20 psi in the bags. This keeps my vehicle level and adds for a smooth ride. A great product.
I initially ordered the wrong airbags. I called eTrailer and Jeremy H. was very understanding. He got the right ones immediately shipped out and sent me a return label and info while I was on the phone with him. The bags seem good quality comparable to my previous Airlift bags. Instructions were well written and all hardware was accounted for in the shipment.
Easy install on lc200, it’s only been a couple days but test run with a trailer was great. Recommend getting getting inflation bracket (Firestone WR17607560) to reduce the need for any drilling if you don’t go with onboard compressor.
The airbags were difficult to install on a 2021 Sienna. It required removing the rubber stopper from inside the coil spring. Once that was out, install was easy. However, these need to be installed with the valve down as the plastic spacers fall out when the van is lifted for service when installed right side up as recommended. Upside down the air hose is routed thru the center of the plastic donut spacer which holds it in place when the van is lifted. However, once installed "upside down" the valves tend to pinch on the suspension as they move around. The pinching lets the air out and requires the bags to be frequently repositioned especially after the van is lifted for service. It is a good product, just unreliable and requires much inspection and maintenance to work properly. Will be loading up again for a summer trip and will need to reposition them so they work as I just had the oil changed.
These bags along with minor adjustments to my load leveling hitch made towing my 19.4 No Bo trailer so much more relaxing!I am running 20 PSI and 3/4 of an inch higher than stock ride hight. Easy peasy
I bought this set because I was having problems with one of the airbags I previously had gotten. It was on the right side of my forerunner. It had a slow leak. When I replaced the airbag this time it had a very fast leak. I finally found That if I used NAPA Sil-Glyde to insert tube it seems to be holding air. And I squeezed air bag into the spring. Use soap for sliding it in.
Phone service was excellent. Air bags helped a lot with stability. I found it easier to remove the spring from the Avalanche than to fight with it in chassis. Removing the spring also gave me a chance to clean the dirt and rocks out of the hose routing area. It was a little more work to drop the axle down but it really wasn't that bad. I was able to do it all without a hoist. Just used two floor jacks. I just let one side down at a time. Remove your swaybar link and shock and let one side down. Pull the spring and do the work in a vise. Its much easier than fighting with it on your back. Also put the air hose in really hot water and it will relax its memory.
Well I did not expect to have a one year follow up from ETrailer! I’m a 5 Star happy with these airbags over the AirLift 1000’s I had that blew out just after the warranty was up! These bags are more than twice the product, as you can inflate to >60 psi and that makes for a way more steady ride with weight! I typically run mine at around 45 psi now, the AirLift are limited to 28 psi. The construction is far superior and quality is excellent!!!
