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.


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.

  • What Complete Air Bags Can I Control from the Cab of My 2021 Ford F-350 Super Duty with In-Bed Hitch
    Since you are transporting a fifth-wheel trailer, I assume you are looking for rear-axle air bags. We only carry Firestone-brand Ride Rite air bags that will work with 4-wheel drive models of 2021 Ford F-350 Super Duties with an in-bed hitch. That is the Firestone Rebel # F95FV. Apart from the 7,500-pound load-leveling weight capacity, the springs help prevent sagging while towing. They are also 100% made in the U.S.A. As far as compatibility, these air bags work with a fifth-wheel hitch...

  • 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...

  • Troubleshooting A Firestone Ride-Rite Air Spring Kit With Compressor Missing Error Codes
    Hi Chris, If your compressor is showing as missing then that tells me it's likely either a lack of power/was wired incorrectly or you have an air leak and the compressor was running for too long (4 minutes) and not building pressure. I recommend rechecking your wiring to make sure it's correct with no loose connections and then check the voltage at the compressor with a multimeter # PT89ZR to see if you're getting 12 volts. If not, then check your fuse and trace the power wire back to...

  • Firestone Air Bag and Wireless Compressor Kit for 2020 Ford F-250
    The Firestone Ride Rite part # F35FV is a confirmed fit for your 2020 Ford F-250 with the OEM in-bed fifth wheel rail kit. Then for a wireless compressor kit the Air Command Compressor System w/ Wireless Remote and Heavy Duty Compressor # F96VV is a really great option. It's wireless like you are wanting an since it uses a heavy duty compressor the bags will inflate quicker as well.

  • Air Helper Spring Fit for 2022 Ford F-350 SRW 4x4
    The Firestone # F35FV Ride-Rite kit fits some 2022 Ford F350 SRW 4x4 models. To determine if it'll fit your truck, you'll need to measure the distance from the TOP of the jounce bumper stop to the top of the axle tube, as shown in the provided diagram. If this distance is 40, 70 or 80mm, then the kit will work. If its 50 OR 55mm, Firestone doesn't offer a compatible kit. If the measurement IS 50 or 55 mm, the Air Lift # AL23FJ will work.

    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.

  • Firestone Air Bag Kit and Compressor Recommendation for 2017 Ford F-250 with 6 inch Lift
    Firestone has 6 inch spacer kit for use with their kits as part # F2374. But you have to determine first if your lift is all suspension or if it's a body lift and suspension lift combination which is most common on lifts of your size. Basically the spacer you'll need is the amount the suspension height changed. So let's say your lift was a 4 inch suspension lift with a 2 inch body lift. Then you'd need the 4 inch spacer part # F2370. I also attached a link to a page that has all of the...

  • Firestone 7,500 lb Kit or 5,000 lb Kit for a 2024 Ford F-250 Super Duty 4WD
    Both Firestone Ride-Rite kits are good options for your 2024 Ford F-250 Super Duty 4WD, but I like to recommend the 7,500 lb # F95FV rating over the 5,000 lb Rating # F35FV simply because it means the air bags can be used for the same application but they won't be pushed as hard as the 5K kit, even with heavier loads. It's important to note that these don't increase your weight capacity - they're only designed to help support a suspension system that's in good working order. I also recommend...

    To add a set of air bags to your 2024 Ford F-250 4WD, I recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs item # F95FV. I really like the Firestone airbags because they use a crimp rolled design which is much more durable than the band clamp used with the Air Lift kits like item # AL89DQ.

Since you've got an F-350, I recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs item # F95FV. This system has a 7,500 lbs load leveling capacity. It will keep you rear end level with the rest of your truck when you are hauling a heavy load in your gooseneck trailer.

    Yes we do have air bag kits that will fit your 2023 Ford F-250 Diesel Tremor Edition. The Tremor does have a few tweaks to the rear suspension, but nothing that will effect fitment of air bags.

For a compressor kit the Firestone part # F2097 would be a great option to make keeping air in the bags easier.

  • Are The 7,500LB or 5,000LB Firestone Air Bags Springs Better For a 2023 Ford F-250 Super Duty?
    I recommend going with the 5,000lb Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F35FV on your 2023 Ford F-250 super duty. These have a capacity which is higher than what your F-250 is even capable of supporting on the rear axle. The 7,500lb Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs # F95FV are going to be overkill and will not have any benefit over the 5,000lb springs on your F-250.

  • Do Firestone Ride Rite Air Bag Kits for 2020 Ford F-350 Affect Ride Quality
    When you have the minimum air pressure in the air bag kits like the Firestone kits that fit your 2020 Ford F-350 it would not affect the ride quality at all. As you add pressure you may notice it get bouncier. The ride quality is not significantly different between the 5000 and 7500 kits either. You just would get additional support on the higher end of the bag's pressure range. So for the 7500 lb kits that fit your truck you'd want the # F95FV if you have a dually model or the part #...
