Firestone Ride-Rite Air Spring Basics

Firestone Ride-Rite springs are designed to increase safety and reduce the strain on your vehicle when you are hauling heavy loads or towing a heavy trailer. The springs partner with your existing rear suspension system to help keep your vehicle level, maintain even load distribution and increase stability. 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 and improve braking and handling. The air springs also help to level your headlight beams and reduce wear on your tires.

Adjustable Air Pressure

The air pressure in your Ride-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 to 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 Ride-Ride air spring components

Air Spring Construction

Firestone's double-convoluted Ride-Rite air springs are designed to give you maximum load support and enhance the performance and ride comfort of your vehicle. The rubber springs provide cushioning between your suspension components and operate at up to 100 psi. The springs have four layers of reinforced rubber to ensure durability and enhance load support. A braided wire girdle creates the double-convoluted shape of each air spring, increasing the burst pressure of the spring. The rubber springs are attached to corrosion-resistant metal end plates with a time-proven, rolled crimp seal that keeps the bags securely anchored.


Firestone Ride-Rite air spring installation

Air Spring Installation

Each Ride-Rite kit includes custom-fit brackets that connect to your axle and frame. The brackets provide the mounting points for the air springs. Drilling may be required for some applications.

  • Replacement Bail Clamp for Firestone Air Bags on 1999 Ford F-350
    Are you sure you have the 2400? The # F2400 is designed to fit the 2005-2007 models of the F-350. The correct kit for the 1999 is the # F2550 which uses the Replacement Bail Clamp # F3077. If you're sure it is the 2400 we do not carry the bail clamp but I can see about adding it. You can let me know by responding in the comments below.

  • Swapping Old Firestone Air Bags From A 2018 Chevy Silverado To A 2020 Ford F-250 Super Duty
    Thank you for the pictures you sent to help verify the 6401 air bag used in your old # F2400 kit. Unfortunately the compatible kits for your 2020 Ford F-250 Super duty use the 8397 and 6397 air bags so you won't be able to just swap out the brackets to reuse them on the newer truck. Instead I recommend installing the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Double Convoluted - Rear Axle # F35FV. These 5,000-lb Capacity Ride-Rite air springs will enhance your factory suspension for safety...

  • Do I Need a Spacer for a 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500 w/ a 1" Rear Lift?
    No, it won't. The Firestone Ride-Rite Axle Spacer Bracket for Lifted Vehicles item # F5557 only works with one air bag kit and it is the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs item # F2400. Yours does not have an equivalent part. A spacer kit shouldn't be needed for your 2024 Silverado 2500 when using the Firestone item # F2709 because you only have 1" of lift. Firestone doesn't even make a 1" spacer. If you think there's too much space, you can always add the 1-1/2 inch Lift Spacers...

  • Recommended Firestone Air Bags for a 2007 Ford F-250
    The good news is yes you can install a set of Firestone air bags onto your 07 F-250 and it will not interfere with your B&W Turnoverball gooseneck hitch. The bad news is, the Replacement Air Spring for Firestone Ride-Rite Kit # F6781 you have is not compatible with your truck. These were made for an entirely different vehicle, and Firestone does not have a hardware kit for your truck. Instead, you'd need to use a different set of bags altogether like the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper...

  • Are There AirLift Air Bags Compatible with B&W Turnoverball 1108 on 2006 Ford F-350
    I have a solution for you, but there are not AirLift airbags available that will work with your B&W Turnoverball # BWGNRK1108 system on a 2006 Ford F-350. However, there is the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Double Convoluted - Rear Axle # F2400 which are similar to the AirLift bags and will give you an air bag system that's compatible with your Turnoverball's brackets. If you also need a compressor system to keep the bags aired up then you can use the Firestone Air Command...

  • Will Firestone Air Bags Work with B&W Gooseneck Hitch on 2006 Ford F-250
    The B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part # BWGNRK1108 which is a fit for a 2006 Ford F-250 and what I recommend will work with the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F2400. The upper bracket for the air bag will use the same hole as the gooseneck hitch so you'd just simply use the hitch bolt and pass this through the upper air bag bracket and the side plate for the gooseneck hitch.

  • Compatibility of Air Lift Air Bags and B&W Gooseneck Hitch 1108 on 2007 Ford F-250 Super Duty
    I do have a solution, but the Air Lift # AL57291 is only compatible with the B&W 1105 and 1199R. These and other Air Lift air bags will not work with the # BWGNRK1108. What you can use instead is the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2400. Even if the Air Lift did fit, I would recommend the Firestone since they have a superior design and will be more reliable. These have the same 5,000 lb load leveling capacity and won't interfere with your B&W hitch once installed. Since you're...

These options will both work with your B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part # BWGNRK1108 but you will need to remove the center bolt for the side bracket, place the upper airbag bracket though this bolt, and then reinstall.

  • Looking For Replacement Upper And Lower Brackets For Firestone Air Bags On A 1995 Ford F-250
    Though we do have all the brackets and hardware needed as replacements for a Firestone Ride-Rite Air # F2071, listed below, I do need to mention that the air bags for this will not be the same as what comes with the # F2400 kit. The # F2071 for your truck will use the # F6781 bag, whereas the # F2400 will use a # F6401 bag. I included a quick diagram showing the difference between the two for you to check out as well. With how differently these mount, the brackets will not fit without modification...

  • Firestone Air Suspension Kit Recommendation for 2005 Ford F-350 with 4 inch Lift Kit
    For a Firestone Air Bag Kit for your 2005 Ford F-350 you would want the part # F2400 which is a confirmed fit. Then since you have a 4-1/2 inch lift kit you would want the 4 inch spacer kit # F2371. Then the compressor kit part # F2168 would fit and work well. The Extreme you referenced is no longer available but this kit is a heavy duty compressor with an air tank.

    Enhancing the suspension of your 2006 Ford F-350 while towing with B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch # BWGNRK1108 will improve your ride, though it is not a requirement to tow. What air bags will do is allow for an even load distribution because they inflate individually. They also improve your truck's handling and prevent it from sagging. There is only one air bag kit that fits your '06 Ford F-350 that will work with a gooseneck hitch, the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2400,...

    So your best solution is going to be the Firestone Air Bag Kit part # F2400 which is confirmed as a fit for your 2005 Ford F-Series Super Duty and was designed specifically for fitting trucks that have in-bed hitches like the B and W hitch your truck has. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well. For a compressor kit the part # F2158 would be a great way to monitor the air pressure and make inflating the bags easy.

  • Can Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs be Installed in 2005 Ford F-250 with 5th Wheel Hitch
    The Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2400 can be installed in your 2005 Ford F-250 and you should not have to do any drilling. The reason for that, according to the directions, is that when you install the upper bracket with the 3/4" bolt it will be long enough to go through the Ride-Rite bracket, your hitch bracket and the frame. If you take a look at the directions as well as the photo I added from the linked video of these springs being installed on an '05 F-250 you can see...

  • Air Bags and Turnbuckles for 2006 Ford F-350

If you want to be able to make adjustments from the cab no matter where you go I would also add an air compressor like the # F99VV. This system has wireless control and will let you adjust each air bag independently. When you say the wired to tie...

It's a good kit too; Firestone is generally regarded as one of the top manufacturers for air bags. If you want to add a compressor to monitor and control the bags's psi from inside your truck I recommend the Air Command I, part # F2097.

Both the Firestone Air Helper Spring Kit # F2400 and # F2398 you were looking at will work with a 5th wheel hitch but since your 2006 Ford F-250 is a 4WD model you will need to go with the # F2400 as it is designed for trucks that are 4WD where the # F2398 is designed for 2WD trucks. This kit gives you up to 5000lbs of load leveling support which you can fine tune to your specific need by adjusting the air pressure between 5-100 PSI. To keep from having to manually...

    According to Firestone, their # F2400 Ride-Rite Air Helper Spring Kit is compatible with in bed hitches including your Curt # C60685 EZr Double Lock gooseneck hitch. You might also be interested in an on-board compressor kit like part # F2219.

  • Compatibility of Firestone Ride-Rite Air Spring Suspension with Curt Gooseneck Hitch

If you'd care to reply with the part number of the Firestone Air Bag kit you have, I'd be happy to provide you with some specifics. If you'd like a built-in compressor system that allows you to adjust the air pressure in the springs by flipping a switch in the cab, I'd recommend the Air Command Compressor system, part # F2158.
