Heavy trailers and bed loads can make the rear sag and the front lift, throwing off braking and steering. The Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs add up to 5,000 lbs of load-leveling capacity between the frame and rear suspension to keep your truck level and steady. With the right air pressure, steering stays responsive, braking stays confident, and your headlights stay aimed where they should on the highway or jobsite.
Every load is different, so it helps to fine-tune support. These Ride-Rite air bags adjust manually from 5 psi to 100 psi using separate inflation valves for each side. Add air when you’re hauling or towing to maintain level ride height and reduce bottoming out. Drop pressure back down when empty for a smoother ride. Side-to-side adjustment helps level off-center loads so handling feels balanced.
Each air spring uses Firestone’s double-convoluted construction with four layers of reinforced rubber and a braided wire girdle for strength. This setup cushions your suspension components, softens axle-to-frame contact, and absorbs road shock before it reaches the cab. It also prevents permanent sagging or excessive friction in the leaf springs so your factory suspension lasts longer under heavy use.
The springs are anchored with corrosion-resistant metal end plates sealed by Firestone’s rolled crimp design for a long-term, leak-free hold. Every kit includes custom brackets, hardware, air line tubing, and manual inflation valves for setup. Switches, gauges, compressors, and air tanks are available separately if you want in-cab control later. With solid materials and proven durability, this system handles real load support day after day without giving up comfort or control.

I will be contacting Firestone about this, but what is the year, make, model, and version of the vehicle you are trying to install this on?

After 1 year of use, my Firestone airbags never let me down. Working perfectly. This is the 3rd trucks Ive run Firestone 5000 lbs. rated bags on with no issues.

Still working great as it should and doesnt leak air. The remote controller is really convenient and can be operated from inside or outside the truck. Definitely worth all the work. The shield I fabricated for the compressor keeps road grit etc. Out of the air intake of the compressor which should be a huge help for the life of the system. Love it.

I ended up adding an airlift compressor which was super easy to install and everything works great! I got tired of checking pressures, the air compressor monitors psi and kicks on if needed. I would buy and install these things again if I ever end up getting a new truck. Works great when towing my 12,000 pound bumper pull camper

Still happy with this install, bags help tremendously over bridge joints hauling my 5th wheel. not sure how these compare to Timbren setup, but i would guess better based on being able to adjust pressure. way more stable over bridges and bends in road.
