When the bed is full or the trailer is heavy, the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs keep your truck level and in control. Each bag adds up to 5,000 lbs of load-leveling capacity to help reduce rear-end sag and restore even weight distribution. By keeping the vehicle level, you maintain proper steering and braking response, stable headlight aim, and better tire contact with the road.
Every haul is different, and these air springs adapt on demand. With a pressure range from 5 psi to 100 psi, you can fine-tune firmness for towing, hauling, or running empty. Inflate or deflate manually through separate valves for each side to balance off-center loads and keep handling consistent. You can start around mid-range pressure, take a test run, and dial in what feels right for your setup.
Rough roads and uneven cargo don’t have to beat up your suspension. The Ride-Rite’s double-convoluted rubber construction cushions the ride by absorbing road shock and softening contact between axle and frame. This design reduces strain on leaf springs, helps prevent bottoming out, and adds a layer of comfort when hauling heavy gear across highways or job sites.
These air springs are made for real work. Each one uses four layers of reinforced rubber for durability, braided wire girdles to strengthen the double-convoluted shape, and corrosion-resistant metal end plates sealed with a rolled crimp for a secure hold. The kit includes all mounting brackets, hardware, air line, and manual inflation valves so you have everything needed for installation.
If you want more convenience later, Ride-Rite springs are compatible with Firestone compressor systems like Air Command setups for quick in-cab inflation and deflation. That means you can start with manual valves now and add onboard control when you’re ready—all while keeping the same dependable 5–100 psi performance range.
The construction material of the fittings may vary.

I'm glad you have found something that works well for you! Nice to know you can get the job done fairly easily and don't need a too crazy tool selection to do it :)

Gosh darn UPS! I'm glad that the kit did finally make it to you even if UPS wanted to hold on to it. Have you driven with the airbags yet? If not let me know how you like it when you do!

Still works great after a year. Definitely makes a difference in the ride quality when you have a heavy load. No leaks. I used the T so only have 1 valve to mess with. I like having the ability to dial in a little bit of rake in the truck Had previously leveled the truck by cranking the torsion bars in front, also have 1.5 blocks in rear. 2007 Duramax
