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 truck level, maintain even load distribution and increase stability. Hauling heavy loads or towing a heavy trailer can make the rear of your truck 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 truck 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 truck 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 truck's bumper to provide easy access to the manual inflation valves.


Air Spring Construction


RED Label spring construction

Unlike standard Ride-Rite air springs, the RED Label air springs operate up to 150 psi to maximize its weight capacity. 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 RED Label Extreme Duty kit includes vehicle-specific brackets, fasteners, and hardware for fast, no-drill installation. The hardware installs directly on your axle and frame and the air springs install onto the mounting points provided by the brackets. Additional equipment like control panels, compressors, and air tanks are sold separately.

  • Size of Air Bags on Firestone Ride-Rite 2706
    I contacted Firestone about this issue and they were unable to tell me if these bags would work with Daystar cradles. They told me they had not tested them, had no affiliation with Daystar and had no information about if they could fit.

  • Differences Between AirLift and Firestone Helper Airbags For a 2019 Ram 2500
    I recommend the Firestone 7,500 lb Ride-Rite Label Air Helper Springs part # F2706 for the 2019 Ram 2500 because of their durability compared to the Air Ride Helper Springs part # AL57589. Both of the brands have a 7,500 lb capacity like you mention however they are constructed differently. The Firestone bags are constructed of 4 layers of rubber compared to the 2 layers of the Air Lift springs. The Firestone bags also use a crimp rolled seal to keep the bags anchored compared to the Air...

  • Air Bag Suspension Kit Recommendation for 2019 Ram 2500
    The best air bag kit we offer for your 2019 Ram 2500 is the Firestone kit part # F2706. We've found that the Firestone bags are the highest quality and longest lasting so we recommend them the highest. I attached an install video for the kit for you to check out as well. For a compressor kit to make inflating and maintaining the air bag pressure as easy as possible the Firestone Compressor kit part # F2097 would be what I recommend. It comes with a heavy duty compressor to make inflating...

  • Firestone Air Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for 2017 Ram 2500
    For your 2017 Ram 2500 the Firestone Ride Rite kit you'd need is the part # F2706. I don't know what air bags you currently have but typically they don't carry over to other vehicles and by the time you piece together everything needed you'd have been better off just buying an all new kit. I attached an install video for this kit for you to check out as well.

    If you had the OEM hitch prep package in the bed of your 2015 Ram 2500 (there would be 4 pucks for the hitch to install into in the bed of the truck), then yes the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch for Ram Towing Prep Package # BWRVK3600 that you referenced would fit your truck. But it doesn't look like you have the hitch prep package based on the vehicle info you ran through our fitguide. If you do not have the factory rail kit you would first need to start with the Custom Underbed Installation...

  • Best Air Bag Kit And COmpressor For 2021 Ram 2500 4WD With Factory Puck System
    Hello Ra, thanks for reaching out. Sounds like you are on the right track here. The Firestone # F2706 is correct for the 2021 Ram 2500 4wd. The problem with this kit is the brackets may not be compatible with some in bed 5th wheel and gooseneck hitches. I wish I could give you a more firm yes or no answer, but you best bet will be to compare the frame of your truck to the diagrams in the instructions and make sure there are no obstructions. You will find the instructions for the # F2706...

  • How to Reduce Sway on a 2016 Ram 2500 with a Lance 820 Truck Camper
    With how the Firestone Air Helper Springs, like the # F2706, will attach to the frame, you would not be able to install a Timbren # TDR2500D as well. Both of these options will mount in the same place, unfortunately. That being said, the # TDR2500D may be better for your situation than the air bags. I do typically suggest air bags as they are fully adjustable, but they can be a little lacking when under constant heavy load and are not as good at handling sway problems. Another upgrade...

  • What Are Differences Between Red Label and Standard Duty Firestone Ride Rite Kits
    The Red Label bags like the part # F2706 are much heavier duty than the standard duty bags like the # F2598 that you also mentioned. The pressure rating is 150 psi vs. 100 psi, the weight capacity is 7,500 vs. 5,000 lb, and overall they are just larger and made from thicker material. If you are going to be at the extremes of your trucks weight capacity I would go with the Red Label for added peace of mind that the bags won't fail otherwise standard duty would work just fine.

  • Recommended Suspension Enhancement For A 2018 Ram Power Wagon With AEV HD Suspension
    If you are looking for something smaller than the Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs # F2706 to shore up the suspension on your 2018 Ram 2500 Power Wagon, you will want to look at a Timbren set up. Though I do prefer air bags, if they won't fit, then they won't fit. Granted I prefer them as they are adjustable so you can deflate them when you are not under load, but as you mentioned using a slide in camper, I would have steered you towards Timbren from the get...

    There are a few differences between the standard Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2598 and the Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs # F2706, which are the correct fits for a 2015 Ram 2500. You mentioned one, which is the standard duty # F2598 has a 5,000 lb capacity and can accept up to 100 psi, while the Red Label # F2706 have a 7,500 lb capacity and are rated to accept up to 150 psi.

I attached an install video for this kit on a 2017 Ram 2500 just like yours for you to check out as well. Then for a wireless compressor setup the Air Command part # F96VV is what you'd want.

  • What Size are the Air Bags for Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label for a 2019 Ram 2500
    For your 2019 Ram 2500 the correct Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label air bag kit is part # F2706. The air bags in the kit have a maximum diameter of 7.52 inches at the widest point, compressed height of 3 inches, and extended height of 8.91 inches. However if your truck is lifted a spacer may be required to make up for the additional height. I have attached a photo of where to measure, and once you find that distance you can choose from the following if a spacer is needed. 6-1/2" - 7-1/2"...

    We do have a selection of rear air bag suspension enhancement for your 2016 Ram 2500 4X4. I recommend going with a Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Spring system. For your 4WD Ram you will to go with the part # F2598, unless you have the RED label. If that is the case you will want to go with the part # F2706 instead. Both are confirmed to fit with an in-bed hitch installed on your truck. The part # F2580 has a 5,000 lb capacity while the part # F2706 has a 7,500 lbs capacity. Neither...

  • Reducing Sag While Towing with a 2019 Ram 2500
    The Firestone kit, part # F2706, does fit your 2019 Ram 2500 and is going to add support to the rear. With that being said in my opinion it's going to be overkill for your 3,000 pound UTV trailer. This is the Red Label Extreme Duty kit so unless you're towing pretty much all the time it's more than you need. But like I said it will work. Instead I recommend part # F2598. It's similar to the Red Label kit with a lower 5,000 pound rating so it should still be plenty for you. It's designed...

  • Recommended Air Bags Kit for Towing a 5th Wheel with a 2016 Ram 2500 4X4

The 5,000 lb system should be more than enough since they will be helping directly with the pin weight of your 5th wheel, but if you plan on doing a lot of towing or utilizing your pickup daily apart from towing your 5th wheel the 7,500 lb kit would be more beneficial. Both of these are compatible with an in-bed...

  • Recommended Air Springs and Dual Zone Compressor for 2019 Ram 2500 with In-Bed Hitch
    The Firestone kits are not compatible with in-bed hitches like your B&W. My recommendation for your application is the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle # AL57289 which is compatible with in-bed hitches. Then for your compressor system I recommend the Air Lift Load Controller Compressor System for Air Helper Springs - Standard Duty - Dual Path # AL25852. This will give you the side to side adjustability for off-center loads.

    For your 2023 Ram 2500 Power Wagon with a 2" lift I recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2598. Air bags are the best option for additional support to keep you level while towing, especially with your lift. These offer 5,000 lbs of load-leveling capacity and can be fully adjusted depending on what you're towing or hauling. The pressure can be reduced to the minimum when you aren't towing so they won't impact your ride. There are times where the Timbren are a fine choice,...

  • Comparing Firestone Red Label and Ride-Rite Rear Air Springs for 2019 Ram 2500 4WD
    Since you both tow a trailer and haul cargo loads I recommend you stay with the standard-duty Ride-Rite kit # F2598. This kit provides up to 5000-lbs of load support which is plenty for trailer pin weight (if you tow a 5th wheel or gooseneck) and is more than enough for a bumper-pull trailer's tongue weight. This kit also better matches the truck's payload capacity which is right around 3000-lbs. This kit is compatible with an in-bed 5th wheel or gooseneck hitch and it installs without...

  • Will Adding Front And/Or Rear Suspension Enhancement Affect The Warranty On A 2022 Ram 2500?
    Adding just rear suspension enhancement will definitely help, but if you will be keeping the camper in the bed of your 2022 Ram 2500 full time, it is a good idea to get the front supplemented as well. With that said, the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs - Front Axle # SSF-301-47 is rated up to 1,000 pounds of capacity, at 50% compression, and will help with sway and absorb bumps and shocks. To further this, you can also add the Roadmaster Front Anti-Sway Bar # RM47VR. This will really...

    The Timbren springs are going to give your 2017 Ram 2500 a stiffer ride when the truck is empty/not towing. For similar springs that have more give thus providing a smoother ride over the alternative I recommend SumoSprings # SSR-312-47. The best option is to use air bags # F2706 (as long as your truck does NOT have the factory air suspension system). Air bags allow you to adjust the stiffness by adding or removing air from the air bags. I have linked a video showing an example installation...
