To see if this custom-fit item will work for you please tell us what vehicle you'll use it with.
When you hitch up a trailer or pack the bed full of gear, rear-end sag can throw off balance, steering, and braking. This Firestone Ride-Rite system adds up to 5,000 lbs of rear axle load support to keep your truck level and steady under pressure. The double-convoluted air bags work with your stock suspension to smooth out rough roads and keep headlights aimed right where they belong.
No more crawling under the truck or dragging out an air hose. The included 12VDC compressor and single-path analog control panel let you adjust air pressure from 5 to 100 psi right from the cab. Add a few pounds when you hitch a trailer or bleed it off when unloaded—all with a simple flip of the switch and clear gauge feedback.
Firestone built this kit so you don’t have to chase down extra fittings or hardware. It includes the Ride-Rite air springs, custom-fit brackets that bolt to factory attachment points, in-cab controller, compressor, no-drill mounting panel, air lines, fittings, and hardware. With clearly labeled parts and precision brackets, setup goes smoothly whether you’re working in the driveway or garage.
Salt, grime, and road spray can take a toll on suspension parts, but this setup is built to handle it. The compressor mounting plate measures 11-1/2" long x 5-1/2" wide with protective coatings to fight rust. Reinforced rubber bags and tight-sealing brass fittings hold pressure reliably mile after mile. With a limited lifetime warranty on the air bags and 2-year coverage on hardware and compressor components, it’s built to stay dependable season after season.

Hi, everyone. Steven here with etrailer. Today we're looking at our Firestone Ride-Rite Airbags with an Easy Mount Compressor and an included In-Cab Control. Now this is a single path kit, meaning you're gonna inflate or deflate the bags at the exact same time. Now, this is also a custom fit application with precision brackets that are made to bolt to your specific factory attachment points. So make sure you're double checking that fit guide here at etrailer.com, where it asks you about your vehicle information and put in the right information to get the right parts.
Now this kit, again, is just laying out here in pieces. When it's assembled, it would look something like this. Whenever it's off the truck, obviously. And then these brackets would bolt to the frame of the truck, wherever they're supposed to, according to the instructions. And then that compressor on the left with the mounting bracket kit would bolt on as well.
So again, you shouldn't have to do any kind of drilling. It's a direct bolt-on application. Tiny compressor, but it does the job and then some. So it's very, very powerful. And the in-cab gauge analog, single path, again.
So up or down, you're gonna inflate or deflate the bags at the same time, both left and right. All your hardware, stainless, not stainless steel, heavy duty steel construction with a black powder coat finish. Very durable, long lasting. And all your custom wiring, as well as your airline. Now tech tip, according to the installers here at etrailer, make sure you're getting nice, clean, straight cuts on that airline, because when you press it into those press to connect T fittings that are included with the hardware kit, you wanna make sure you're making a nice, clean cut to get a good seal on that.
So nine times outta 10, if we get calls about, "Hey, I got a leak in the system. I've used soapy water to locate it." Nine times out of 10, it's at one of those fittings. It's as simple as unplugging it, cutting that nice and clean, pushing it back together, problem solved. So do yourself a favor, take some time when you're cutting those and make 'em really clean cuts. Other than that, again, if you have any questions about this kit or anything else we carry here at etrailer, reach out to us. We'll be more than happy to assist you in any way we can. I'm Steven. Thanks for watching. Stay safe while you're towing.
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.
