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

Firestone Ride-Rite air spring airline installation

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.


Air Spring Construction

Firestone Ride-Ride air spring components

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.


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. No drilling required.

  • Recommended Air Bag Suspension for a 2019 Ford F-350 Dually
    That is an interesting description Donna and I know exactly what you mean. There's two options to add Firestone airbags to your 2019 Ford F-350 dually. Both have a 5,000 lbs load leveling capacity and are compatible with in bed hitches. Which one you need will be determined by whether or not your truck is 2WD or 4WD. I have listed both options below: 2WD - Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs item # F2600 4WD - Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs item # F35FV I also recommend adding...

  • Best Suspension Enhancement to Reduce Squat on 2019 Ford F-250 Super Duty When Towing 5th Wheel
    So the issue you are having with squat on your 2019 Ford F-250 Super Duty will actually not be resolved with either of the SuperSprings suspension kits you mentioned. Those will help to a point, but they aren't going to resolve squat because they are going to flex with weight on them so your truck is still going to squat. To prevent squat the best suspension enhancement option for your 2019 F-250 is going to be air bags. The reason is because they allow you to fill the air bags to whatever...

  • Is There a Cushioned Pin Box Upgrade that Fits Heartland Big Country Fifth Wheel
    If you have a Reese pin box on your Heartland Big Country 5th wheel already you most likely already have a cushioned pin box, or you have a Sidewinder which provides turning clearance. You should first let me know which specific pin box you have so that I could see what replacement would give you better ride quality. It might already be cushioned and the change wouldn't be that noticeable. If that's the case a fifth wheel hitch with a tight jaw design like the Reese # RP30928 would be your...

  • Can I Use Airbag on a 2019 Ford F-250 with the Factory Prep Package
    The only airbag kit we have that will fit your 2019 Ford F-250 is the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs part # AL57399 for standard or part # AL88399 for ultimate. The ultimate version has an internal jounce spring which lets you temporarily carry a load with zero air pressure in your springs. The Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F2600 will not work for you because the airbag installs on the outside of the frame rail which is currently occupied by the factory prep...

  • Air Bag Suspension Kit Recommendation for 2019 Ford F-250 Super Duty
    For your 2019 Ford F-250 the Firestone Ride Rite air bag kit part # F2600 is the best kit available. We've found that the Firestone air bags are higher quality than the competition so we recommend them the highest. Then for a compressor kit that will make inflating and monitoring the air pressure easy we have the Firestone kit part # F2097. This kit has a heavier duty compressor too so it will inflate quicker.

  • Air Bag Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for 2017 Ford F-250 that Won't Add Height
    The jounce bumper in the # AL88399 can cause a slight increase in ride height even when the bags are uninflated. There is a much better option for you since you do not want any additional height. Instead you'd want the Firestone kit part # F2600 which will not add height when uninflated and actually will give you a higher quality air bag. This would be your best solution.

    The towing capacity of your 2019 Ford F-250 Crew Cab Powerstroke with the 6-3/4' bed will vary from 14,100-16,600 lbs depending on drive type, axle ratio, and gross combined weight rating.

  • What Suspension Capacity Does Firestone Ride-Rite 2600 Offer for 2017 Ford F-350
    So the capacity listed for the air bag kits like the Firestone Ride Rite part # F2600 is the amount of additional suspension support the kit can provide. So this kit will give you an additional 5000 lbs of support which will help you carry the factory payload figure your truck has. These do not give you additional capacity above what the vehicle already has. Basically they just help support the factory capacity so that it can be used to it's potential.

  • Which Airbags Will Work with the B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch on a 2017 Ford F-250
    The Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F2600 that you referenced are for a 2017 Ford F-250 2WD. If you have a 4WD then you would most likely be using the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F35FV instead. If this is the case then the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch w/ Custom Installation Kit part # BWGNRK1116 will work for you as the gooseneck brackets install on the outside of the frame rails whereas the airbag brackets install underneath the frame...

  • 7,500 lb or 5,000 lb Firestone Air Bags For 2021 Ford F-250 Super Duty
    That's a good question, and we can definitely point you in the right direction for Firestone air bags on your 2021 Ford F-250 Super Duty. The weight ratings are exactly what you said, the amount of weight it can assist up to; so when towing a trailer, the air bags have a capacity of up to either 5,000 lbs or 7,500 lbs. You really only need the 7,500 lb Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F95FV when towing a 5th wheel trailer that will have a pin weight of more than 5,000 lbs, otherwise...

  • Does Firestone Ride-Rite Air Bag Kit # F2600 Have Internal Jounce Bumpers
    The part number for the Model 267C1.5 air bag that fits the # F2600 kit is # F6781. It does not have an internal jounce bumper in it like some models do. Per the installation instrutions of the # F2600 kit the factory jounce bumper should be reinstalled. I contacted Firestone to double check and they confirmed that the factory bumper should be put back in to keep the truck from bottoming out.

  • Best Airbag System and Compressor Kit for a 2017 Ford F-350
    We currently carry two different brands of airbags/compressor systems; Firestone and AirLift. I personally like Firstone as they have been around longer and tend to have better quality products. For your 2017 Ford F-350, I recommend using the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F2600 which is a complete kit that has everything you will need for installation. It will also work with an in-bed hitch if you have one or will be using one in the future. In order to operate the airbags...

    For your 2022 Ford F-250 Super Duty I recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Double Convoluted - Rear Axle # F35FV (4WD) or the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Double Convoluted - Rear Axle - 2WD # F2600. Firestone's airbags are constructed with four layers of reinforced rubber, which is a thicker, more reliable construction than other air bags. This means the Ride-Rite air bags are the best-performing, most dependable air bags available. A braided wire girdle creates...

  • Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for 2017 Ford F-350 with Factory In-Bed Rail Kit
    The issue you are having is because you have the factory fifth wheel rail kit in your 2017 Ford F-350. Firestone does not list the # F2600 as a fit for the versions of the 2017 F-350 that have in-bed hitches like yours. For a kit that does fit your truck we have the Timbren kit part # TFR350SDJ. Not only will this fit with the factory rail kit but it also won't ever require you to maintain air pressure or run any air lines. It's basically a much simpler install that you never have to...

Instead I recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Double Convoluted - Rear Axle # F89ZR which my contact at Firestone was able to confirm will fit your truck.

  • Recommended Air Bags for 2022 Ford F-350 Tremor With Flatbed
    The best air springs/air bags for their 2023 F-350 are going to be Firestone. I'm assuming this is a 4WD with the Tremor package so the correct kit would be the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F35FV. If for some reason this is a 2WD the # F2600 would be the kit you need instead. The Firestone air bags use 4 layers of reinforced rubber and are securely anchored with their rolled crimp seal. These come with a lifetime warranty on the air bags and a 2-year warranty on the hardware.

The # F2600 will fit a 2019 F-350 but only the 2WD version. The # F35FV is made for 4x4 options that are dual rear wheel so it is the correct fit for your truck. Unfortunately we don't have a video of this installation but it is similar to many others that install in the same location. If...

  • How to Gain Bed Rail Clearance and Reduce Sag on 2019 F-250 While Towing 5th Wheel at Max Height
    Starting with the bed rail clearance concerns with your new 2019 Ford F-250 and the Redwood 3401RL you are considering, your best option is really just to raise the height of your 5th wheel hitch (it should have multiple height settings available) and lower the pin box on the trailer if possible. This should comfortably get you to the 5-6" bed clearance measurement we recommend. The potential issue here, as you pointed out, is that this will technically raise the nose of the trailer slightly...

  • Will Firestone Airbags Work with a B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch On a 2017 Ford F-350 4x4 Dually
    The Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F35FV will work with the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part # BWGNRK1116 on your 2017 Ford F-350 4x4 Dually. The brackets for the airbags install underneath the frame rail whereas the brackets for the gooseneck hitch install outside the frame rail which is why they will not interfere with one another. Please note, the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F2600 is for 4x2 models only.

    Good Questions! Long story short there is never a time air bags are required. That being said it is a really really good idea to have them for the sake of the hauling rig. Using an airbag kit like the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Double Convoluted part # F35FV on a four wheel drive or the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F2600 on a two wheel drive model will take a lot of the stress and strain off of the rear suspension of your 2017 F-350 this will help to ensure...
