When your trailer or bed load makes the rear end sag, steering and braking can feel off. The Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs add up to 5,000 lbs of rear axle support to keep the truck level and stable. By installing between the frame and the rear suspension, these double-convoluted air bags help maintain even tire contact, proper headlight aim, and balanced braking when towing or hauling heavy gear.
Every haul is different, and these springs let you adjust for it. Each side can be inflated separately through manual valves to level off-center or uneven loads. Add air pressure for a firm, steady ride when loaded or drop to minimum pressure for a softer ride when empty. With manual inflation valves included, you can easily fine-tune comfort and control for any trip or terrain.
Hauling weight doesn’t have to mean feeling every bump. The reinforced rubber construction and double-convoluted design absorb road shock between the axle and frame to prevent bottoming out. Four layers of heavy rubber, a braided wire girdle, and corrosion-resistant metal end plates work together to soften impacts and protect your suspension from strain on rough roads or steep grades.
Ride-Rite air springs are built for serious work. The rolled crimp seal keeps each bag securely anchored, while the durable rubber construction delivers maximum load support without permanent sagging. Brackets, hardware, air line, and separate valves for manual inflation come included in the kit. Switches, gauges, compressors, and tanks are available separately if you want quick inflation from inside the cab.
Installing load support doesn’t have to be complicated. Each Ride-Rite kit includes custom brackets that mount between the frame and axle with all required hardware. Some applications may need drilling, but once mounted the setup is easy to access for inflation at the bumper valves. With clear routing points for air lines and a proven fit design, you can get back on the road with confidence in your setup.

My Firestone Air Springs as well as being a relatively easy install, are still doing their job perfectly. I installed them on a 2014 F350 that is loaded down with a steel bed, tool boxes and is fitted with an 1,100 lb. welding machine with 400 ft. of welding leads. I find that the air bags have held up well and I would not hesitate to recommend them along with etrailer.com

This kit for your vehicle does require drilling into the frame in order to install, so there won't be any holes that line up for a simple bolt on installation. We will reach out shortly and help find a better solution for you.
