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.

  • What Coil-Rite Air Helper Spring Will Work For My 2019 Dodge Caravan?
    Hello David, To ensure that the Air Lift 1000 Universal Air Spring Kit - Rear # AL60920 you will need to measure the spring. I have included a picture to show where to measure. You will need the inside diameter, and the air spring height measurements. The # AL60920 needs a minimum on 5" diameter, and the maximum height can be no greater than 9". Don't feel like measuring, I have a different solution for you. The Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle # F4169, these are not...

  • Air Bag Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for 2020 Dodge Grand Caravan
    Hey Curtis, we have an air bag suspension enhancement kit that fits your 2020 Dodge Grand Caravan with the Firestone part # F4169 but the Air Lift you mentioned would not work as it's not correct size. Firestone makes probably the best air bags around though so this will work great.

  • What is Tongue Weight Capacity for etrailer Hitch for 2014 Chrysler Town and Country for Carrier
    Hey Ted, there isn't a weight distribution type setup that can be used with a cargo carrier like the Flint Hill Goods # FHG69ZR that you referenced. So what that means is with the etrailer hitch part # e98854 you would be limited to 400 lbs of weight with a cargo carrier and what you plan to carry with it and there isn't a way to safely increase this number. I know those power wheel chairs can be heavy so hopefully that is enough. To add additional suspension support to get rid of any...

  • Air Lift Air Helper Springs Or Firestone Coil-Rite For a 2012 Chrysler Town and Country
    The Air Lift 1000 Air Helper Springs # AL60814 will not require the upper supports like the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs # F4169 on your 2012 Chrysler Town and Country. You do not have to worry about the bags being cut on either kit. The bags are designed to flex and will not cut inside the springs from normal use. Both kits also feature a lifetime warranty on the bags incase there is a issue with them for you later down the road. I do prefer the Air Lift air line being ran...

  • Recommended Helper Springs for 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan
    If you're looking to improve your ride quality and reduce the rear-end sag experienced when towing, a set of Coil-Rite air helper springs like # F4169 offered by Firestone would install inside your existing coil springs and would offer additional support. An air helper spring will allow you to adjust the rear suspension according to how much trailer tongue weight or how much cargo in the rear of the vehicle is being applied to the rear suspension of the Grand Caravan. If you don't yet...

  • Air Bag Rear Suspension Enhancement for 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT
    Hey Don, we have the Firestone Coil Rite part # F4169 for your 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan which is a great option for additional suspension support. It's also the only fitting option we have for your vehicle as well. But the compressor kit part # AL25804 would work great too. Are you towing with your Grand Caravan?

  • Installation of Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs # F4169 in 2014 Chrysler Town and Country
    The Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs # F4169 that you referenced are indeed a correct fit for the rear coils springs in your 2014 Chrysler Town and Country minivan. Installation requires you to pull off the stock jounce bumpers and drill a 7/16-inch hole in the jounce bumper mount. The written installation instructions for this kit have been sent to you in a separate email. These indicate to install the bag with the inflation valve at the top, and then to insert the included protector,...

  • Remove Jounce Bumpers to Install Air Helper Springs on 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan
    The yellow rubber inside the coil spring on your 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan is a jounce bumper. The jounce bumper is removed to install both the Air Lift # AL60814 and the Firestone # F4169 air helper springs. To remove the jounce bumper, you will pull the bumper out at an angle. You can remove the jounce bumper before or after you drill the grommet for your air line. I have attached the installation video of Air Lift Vehicle Suspension # AL60814 on a 2010 Grand Caravan for you.

  • Trailer Hitch and Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for 2018 Dodge Grand Caravan
    The etrailer.com hitch part # E98854 is a confirmed fit 2 inch hitch with plenty of capacity that is confirmed as a fit for your 2018 Dodge Grand Caravan. I recommend this hitch highly as it has great towing capacities at 4,000 lb trailer weight and 400 lb tongue weight as well as it's priced great. Then for suspension enhancement I would recommend an air bag kit like the Firestone part # F4169 over a jounce style as with an air bag kit you can lower the bag pressure when not needed so...

  • Will the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Spring Fit a 2007 Ford Fusion AWD Without Rear Strut
    We have found that some of the 2007 Ford Fusion AWD models have struts not only in the front, but in the rear as well. The Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs, # F4169, were designed to fit the models that only have the bump stops inside of the rear coil springs, not the struts. We had a 2007 Ford Fusion on our lot, so I took a picture of the rear suspension with the bump stop in the coil spring. If your rear suspension looks like the photo that I have attached, then you can use the...

  • Rear Air Helper Springs for a 2006 Saturn Vue
    Yes! I am happy to say that the AirLift 1000 Air Helper Springs # AL60727 will fit your 2006 Saturn Vue with rear shocks. I confirmed this with Air Lift. It fits both 2- and 4-Wheel drive models. You could also use Firestone system # F4169. I have linked a video review of the Firestone kit for you.

  • Air Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan
    For an air spring kit confirmed as a fit for your 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan the Firestone Kit part # F4169 would work great to give you rear suspension support. Then for a compressor kit we have the part # F2158 which will allow you to regulate the amount of pressure in the bags. You should note that air kits like this don't give you more towing capacities than you would have normally. They just help you use the current towing capacity safer.

  • Firestone and Air Lift Coil Spring Air Bag Comparison for a 2010 Chrysler Town and Country
    The Air Lift 1000 Air Helper Springs, # AL60814, and the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs, # F4169, are very similar systems. The main difference between these two systems is that the Firestone system includes upper supports that are placed between the air bags and the jounce bumper bracket. Both systems will install the same way on your 2010 Chrysler Town and Country with the exception of the upper supports for the Firestone kit. I have attached the installation instructions of...

  • Pressure-Fit Air Lines on Firestone Air Helper Springs, Part # F4169, Used on 2008 Town and Country
    Firestone Coil-Rite Rear Axle Air Helper Springs, part # F4169, do use pressure-fit air hose connections as you noted. I spoke to a technician at Firestone about the concern of the air lines staying place. He confirmed that the fittings used are barbed and that with the moderate maximum pressure of this system, 35 psi, that it is very unlikely for an air hose to come loose from the bag or the inflation fitting. The other part you reviewed, Air Lift AirLift 1000 Air Helper Springs, part...

  • Suspension Enhancement Recommendations for a 2004 Saturn Vue Red Line
    If you look at the video I have linked of the CURT Trailer Hitch, # 13591, being installed, you will see that the muffler is actually positioned lower than the hitch. You will not have to worry much about bottoming out unless it is a very steep grade. Adding suspension enhancement will not raise the vehicle height it will provide support when under load. You would be more likely to bottom out when a trailer attached if the vehicle sags from the tongue weight of the trailer. In this case,...

  • Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Spring for 2007 Saturn Vue AWD
    According to Firestone, their # F4169 Coil-Rite Air Helper Spring Kit is compatible with AWD models of the 2007 Saturn Vue. When installing the system, it is very important that all the cuts in the air lines are perfectly straight and square in order to prevent leakage. We recommend using a tubing cutter like part # AL10530. You can see the installation instructions by clicking the provided link.

  • How to Inflate Both Firestone Air Bags with Same Valve on 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan
    I would recommend your method of running both air bags to one inflation valve so that you can easily inflate both to the same pressure easily. To do that all you need is a union tee like part # F3025-1. You'd run both bags to the Tee and then run a single line from it to the inflation valve and you'd be set.
