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.
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 4 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.

5,000-lb Capacity. Ride-Rite air springs enhance your factory suspension for safety and stability when you are hauling heavy loads. They reduce strain on your rear axle, keep your vehicle level, and adjust to load size for a consistently smooth ride.I like what i see so far, I looked at several videos online on how to install them, I learned not to look at them, you DON'T JACK UP YOUR TRUCK AT THE BEAM TO LET YOU HAVE MORE ROOM if you do this the leaf springs move to far away. I just did it in my garage left the tires on and did very little jacking of my 2022 Chevy LTD 1500. I am a older man in my late 60's and got the job done in 4 hours, it was difficult to tighten the nuts and bolts that support the lower brackets but stay with it and you will get them tight. also the socket size to remove the load cushion is 10mm, on the You tube video that I watched you could not understand him when he said what size it was.
I received item # F2609 which arrived a day late but no big deal as I had to wait for the weekend to install them. I opened up the box to find the metal plates have paint that is missing and or chipped away. The air line hose is missing from the list of items. This is a huge problem as I purchased a new trailer for my boat. The paint missing means I have to primmer and paint again as it is a salt water boat and these parts would rust.

Airbags work very well. Seem to be very good quality and I have had no issues with them. They make towing my camper more stable with better steering.
Use it for pulling a 4place atv trailer and 20 foot boat works great does exactly what it’s designed to do. Definitely recommend
Quality of product is good. Instructions were good and install took about 3 hours. Having a lift and removing the rear tires would make it a little easier, but I just installed the kit with truck on ground in my garage.
Ordered one Friday product came exactly when they said it would. Very easy to install and everything was there. Can’t wait to pull the camper with the new air bags installed on my 2020 1500 Silverado. Definitely would buy again.
Pretty easy to install, quality parts and doesn’t cause any permanent impairment to the truck if you want to remove them. Was just enough to add to a heavy load towing or in my truck just what it needed
Great product. Makes adjusting my High Country's ride easy...from my I-phone. Can be done as a do-it-yourself as well.
Great fast shipping. Great price. Ive installed it now and it works great so far. 2020 3.0 chevy.
chris w - 03/24/2022installation was moderately difficult on the garage floor. everything fit
Package arrived in good shape and when promised. Installation was very straight forward as per the instructions. The only difficulty I had was threading the large nylocnut on to the airbag. Because of the limited access and view it was very difficult especially with the brass fitting already screwed into the airbag stem. I removed the airbag, removed the brass fitting then screwed the large nut over the stem several times. This made it easier to install the nut once everything was put back together as per the instruction and complete my installation.
Paul - 05/07/2020These air bags turned my half ton into pulling like a 3/4 ton truck awesome
All questions answered promptly before ordering Firestone ride-rite airbags for my 2019 Silverado. Well packaged for delivery to me. Haven't installed yet but all items seem to be included with my order. Very happy with the process so far and will update once installed and used.
Excellent item. Easy to install works as advertised.
the material used is very good and heavyduty...the only thing that was wrong was alot of the hardware was all over the inside of the box.Good thing was nothing was missing.I pree put one together to make sure nothing was missing..
Tis product was easy to install and did exactly what I needed. They level my truck when I am carrying a lot of tools or have my work trailer connected. The ride is good as well.
The install on this couldn't have been much simpler, just a couple hard to reach spots when installing the lower plate. I would have given this a better rating but the bolts just felt like they should have been heavier for what they are doing. All in all when i load my fifth wheel on my truck it doesn't squat at all and that is with 20 psi in the air bags.
These air bags work under load as they should. Levels the truck and gives a comfortable ride. Rougher ride when empty. Bad if no air and stiff if to much air. Over all a good product0
Worked great for our 2020 Silerado RST fit with no vehicle modification or additional parts. Took a little doing to get it together but it came out great. Can't wait to try it with the trailer.
Awesome product and easy install. Fantastic Service. Painless
Still working great. 1 year later. Would do again on next pickup!
I put this on my 2019 chevy 1500. So far great product easy to install
Simple install, fit well
