A heavy trailer or bed full of gear can make the rear end squat and throw off your truck’s balance. The Firestone Ride-Rite air bags add up to 5,000 lbs of load support to level things out and steady the ride. Working with your factory suspension, they keep steering, braking, and headlight aim consistent so you stay in control when towing or hauling. The double-convoluted air springs smooth out rough roads and keep your setup stable mile after mile.
No need to stop for air or grab a hose when your load changes. The included Air Command 9523 compressor and single electric analog in-cab control panel let you fine-tune pressure from 5 to 100 psi right from the driver’s seat. Add air before hitching up, drop it when you unload—all with a quick flip of the switch and an easy-to-read gauge. Both air bags inflate together through the single-path system so adjustments stay even side to side.
This kit is built so you can get the job done without chasing parts. It includes air bags, custom-fit brackets, an in-cab controller, fittings, lines, hardware, and a no-drill compressor mounting plate and rails that measure 11-1/2" long x 5-1/2" wide for the plate and 10-3/4" long x 1-7/8" wide for the rails. The precision brackets bolt to factory attachment points for a clean install using basic tools—perfect for a weekend project that leaves you with a fully functional setup ready to handle real work.
Road grime, moisture, and salt can ruin lesser systems fast. Firestone uses reinforced rubber air bags with tight-sealing fittings plus plated, coated, and brass components to resist rust and wear. The design holds pressure reliably through changing temps and tough conditions so your suspension stays dependable season after season. With a limited lifetime warranty on the air bags and 2-year coverage on hardware, brackets, fittings, and compressor, this setup is built to last well beyond the first haul.

Hi, everybody. Andy here with etrailer. Let's take a quick look together at this Firestone Ride-Rite Airbag Kit with Easy Mount Compressor and In-Cab 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 solid solution for you to consider. The air springs are custom fitted for your truck with the brackets, and this is going to use precision brackets that are going to bolt right onto the factory mounting points on your vehicle. This is designed for your 2017 and newer Ford F-250, F-350, and F-450 Super Duties with a four wheel drive, then your 2023 and newer F-250, F-350 and F-450 Super Duty with the two wheel drive.
Now on custom fit parts such as this kit, I do recommend going through our vehicle fit guide here at etrailer.com. Just 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 confirm that this works for you and if it doesn't, it will make a recommendation for another kit, a comparable kit that will work for you. So I have everything laid out here on my table so you have a good idea of what to expect. This system is going to give you up to 5,000 pounds of additional load leveling support.
So what that means for you is it's gonna help your rear suspension stay level under those heavy loads. It's gonna help improve handling, braking and overall stability. It is important to note that the airbags don't actually increase your truck's maximum payload, so you will have to stay within the manufacturer's recommended weight limits, but they do make hauling and towing safer and more comfortable and more controlled. These reinforced rubber airbags and tight ceiling fittings are gonna help prevent leaks and the plated brass components in the hardware are going to resist corrosion. So each piece of this kit is designed to last.
The included compressor here is compact. It does run on 12 volt power and it's designed for reliable everyday use. It doesn't require the use of an air tank. And this kit does include a node drill mounting bracket, a mounting plate here that you see over there. So that's going to make installing this all the more easier.
If you're wondering some measurements here, looking at the overall length of our compressor, about six and three eighths inches long. The overall width, about two and one eighth inches wide. The overall height, about four and seven eighths inches tall. This does include this simple, single path gauge here. So you're gonna be able to inflate and deflate your bags together from your cab with this included switch and gauge. The pressure is gonna be adjustable from five to 100 PSI and the maximum working pressure of the compressor is gonna be right at 120 PSI. So this is what you're gonna get in the box as I've already said. You're gonna get the springs, you're going to get the compressor, you're going to get the gauge and switch that you put inside your cab. You're going to get the custom fitted mounting brackets, the mounting plate, the hardware and the wiring that you need, plus the airline as well, and spacers. So it's a complete kit for you. And instructions are also included to guide you through the installation and the operation. So if you happen to have any other questions, whether it's about this kit or anything else that we carry here at etrailer, don't hesitate to reach out to us because ultimately we do wanna make sure that you're getting exactly what is going to work for you. Well again, my name is 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.
