Firestone Coil-Rite Air Spring Basics

Firestone Coil-Rite springs fit inside your existing rear coil springs to maximize the effectiveness of your suspension system. The added cushion provided by the air springs allows your vehicle to better handle a heavy load or trailer. 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 for more effective braking and handling under heavy loading or when you encounter adverse road conditions. The air springs also help to level your headlight beams and reduce wear on your tires.


Firestone Coil-Rite airline installation

Adjustable Air Pressure

The air pressure in your Coil-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 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 Coil-Rite air spring components

Air Spring Construction

Coil-Rite springs are constructed of durable, elastic polyurethane to ensure years of service. Single replacement springs (sold separately) are available for maintenance to an existing Coil-Rite kit.


Air Spring Installation

The Coil-Rite springs install inside your existing coil springs. The custom-fit springs attach to your vehicle's spring seats.

  • Is Aftermarket Trailer Hitch Safe to Use Over OEM Trailer Hitch for a 2017 Nissan Pathfinder
    Yes, even though the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76031 only uses 6 bolts as opposed to the 10 bolts for the OEM trailer hitch it has gone through an extensive amount of stress tests to ensure that the 6,000 lb trailer towing rating is completely safe. I highly recommend going with this over the OEM for your 2017 Nissan Pathfinder so that you can add some extra components. For a cost-effective brake controller that is reliable I recommend the Tekonsha Primus IQ # TK90160....

  • Air Suspension for 2017 Nissan Pathfinder
    There is one rear suspension enhancement for your 2017 Nissan Pathfinder, the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs # F4118. These springs can adjust from 5 to 35 psi and will help keep your Pathfinder level from exactly the amount that you haul, at least 500 lbs to no more than 1,000 lbs. For an onboard compressor you can use the Firestone Air Command II # F2178, which is a dual function compressor that allows you to inflate each of the springs individually to help level your ride. I've...

  • Replacement Parts for Firestone Coil-Rite Kit on a 2018 Nissan Pathfinder
    Hey Jim, thanks for reaching out! For replacement tubing you need the 18' long 1/4" Tubing # F49ZR and then to replace the Inflation Valves you need 2 of the part # F32VV you can use for the Coil-Rite # F4118 kit on your 2018 Nissan Pathfinder. Aside from that the only other part we have for your kit is the 5/16" Flat Washer # F52VV which it looks like there are 4 that came with your kit initially. Is there anything else you're needing from the kit?

  • Will Firestone F4118 Kit Reduce Sag of 2014 Nissan Pathfinder When Towing Horse Trailer
    Hey Reba, yes the Firestone kit part # F4118 that you referenced would do a great job providing additional support to the rear suspension of your 2014 Nissan Pathfinder so that rear suspension sagging would be greatly reduced.

  • Suspension Upgrades for a 2022 Nissan Pathfinder
    The suspension upgrade we have for a 2022 Nissan Pathfinder is going to be the Air Lift 1000 Air Helper Springs for Coil Springs - Rear item # AL63WQ. These 1,000 ibs capacity molded polyurethane air springs fit inside your existing coil springs for added support when hauling heavy loads. They support your existing rear coil spring suspension when you're hauling or towing and keep your vehicle level when you are hauling a heavy load.

  • Helper Spring Option for 1998 Toyota Sienna
    We do have a suspension enhancement solution that will work with your 1998 Toyota Sienna. I'd recommend the Firestone Coil Rite Air Helper Springs, part # F4118. The nice thing about an air system is you can tailor the firmness of the suspension to fit what you're carrying or towing. The air pressure can be adjusted from as little as 5 psi all the way up to 35 psi. Timbren doesn't offer a solution for your vehicle, but in all honesty the Air Bag solution would be a better option because...

  • Are There Any Air Lift Air Bags for a 2020 Nissan Pathfinder
    The only confirmed suspension enhancement option we have for a 2020 Nissan Pathfinder is the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F4118 so this is what I must recommend be used. It is true that these air bags usually fit a variety of other applications as well but we can only confirm those tested by the manufacturer. There is not a confirmed fit from AirLift for a 2020 Nissan Pathfinder.

  • How To Improve Rear Suspension On 2018 Nissan Pathfinder When Pulling Travel Trailer
    I recommend installing a rear-suspension enhancement system. This will not only level out your vehicle and reduce body roll, but will also improve the overall handling and braking. The only kit that is confirmed to fit your 2WD 2018 Nissan Pathfinder is the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle # F4118. This is an airbag setup that will assist your factory suspension; it does not replace the factory suspension. These airbags need to be inflated or deflated according to how...

  • Recommended Rear Suspension Enhancement For 2020 Nissan Pathfinder Towing Trailer
    The Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs # F4118 you were looking at for your 2020 Nissan Pathfinder will do a much better job at preventing sag when your trailer is hooked up than your current suspension enhancement, but it may still sag slightly. That will be dependent on the tongue weight of your trailer. The # F4118 provides up between 500-1000lbs of load leveling support which is adjustable between 5-35 PSI. I included a video of the # F4118 for you to take a look at.

  • Air Bag Helper Springs for a 2015 Nissan Pathfinder Towing a Travel Trailer
    Suspension enhancement will help with the rear end squat on your 2015 Nissan Pathfinder. SUVs tend to have softer suspension compared to most trucks so even when using weight distribution some squat can still happen. For your Pathfinder # F4118 is the only option. When you are ready to start towing couple the trailer to the vehicle like normal. Then adjust the air springs as needed. I have included a link to the installation details for you.

  • Determining If Coil SumoSprings Will Fit 2014 Infiniti QX60
    I may have an option for you, but at this time there is no rear suspension enhancement confirmed to fit your 2014 Infiniti QX60, and even though it is similar to a 2014 Nissan Pathfinder the suspension enhancement for options like the Firestone # F4118 you were looking at is not confirmed to fit. Instead there are universal options like the Coil SumoSprings # CSS-1094 which fit in-between the middle coils of your rear coil springs and give your suspension additional support to prevent...

  • Will the SumoSprings CSS-1195R Fit a 2020 Pathfinder 2 Wheel Drive?
    I confirmed with SumoSprings that the # CSS-1195R will fit the 4 wheel drive models of the 2020 Nissan Pathfinder, but it will not fit the 2 wheel drive models, unfortunately. However, the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs # F4118 will fit your 2 wheel drive. This is also fully adjustable and will be the better option, in my opinion.

  • Comparing SumoSprings and Firestone Air Helper Springs for a 2017 Nissan Pathfinder
    There are only two suspension enhancement options for a 2017 Nissan Pathfinder, the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F4118 and Coil SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs part # CSS-1195R. They will both work well to reduce sag but the air bags are a much better option since you can reduce pressure while not in use for a factory ride. The SumoSprings would be engaged constantly so you'll get a rougher ride while not towing.

  • Will the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs Withstand Extreme Cold Temperature
    I called my contact at Ride-Rite about the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F4118 for your 2017 Nissan Pathfinder and they informed me that you should have no problems with them in the extreme snowy/cold Virginia weather. The air springs are rated for use in weather as low as -40 degrees fahrenheit. It is imperative that you use an airline tubing cutter such as a tubing Cutter part # AL10530 to ensure a leak-free connection is made between the airline and fitting.

  • Determining If 2014 Nissan Pathfinder Can Use Weight Distribution Hitch.
    I would be happy to help! Nissan's response was what we call clear as mud. I have no idea where they are getting that you only need a weight distribution hitch if a load is 8000lbs or more, as that is not any sort of industry standard weight. I recommend checking the trailer hitch receiver of your 2014 Nissan Pathfinder for the load rating sticker, and seeing if it mentions a weight rating for weight distribution hitches. Since they do not mention that you vehicle/hitch can handle the...

  • Recommended Parts to Tow a Trailer with a 2015 Nissan Pathfinder
    You are definitely on the right track when it comes to everything you need for towing with your 2015 Nissan Pathfinder. The Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs # F4118 is a good idea to help with sag, but we always recommend using a weight distribution (WD) system for any trailer that weighs more than half of the curb weight (unloaded weight) of the tow vehicle. A WD system will help with sag because it distributes the total tongue weight (loaded tongue weight of the trailer and anything...

  • Recommended Rear Suspension Enhancement For 2018 Nissan Pathfinder
    I have another option for you, but you would not want to use the SumoSprings # CSS-1195R and Firestone Coil-Rite # F4118 together on your 2018 Nissan Pathfinder as the SumoSpring will rub against the Firestone Coil-Rite and could cause issues. Since your new travel trailer is over 50% of the weight of your Pathfinder you would be better off with a weight distribution hitch to level the trailer and prevent sag. A weight distribution hitch redistributes the tongue weight of the trailer...

  • Should Additional Transmission Cooler be Used When Towing at Max Capacity with 2014 Pathfinder
    If you are planning on maxing out the 5,000 lb towing capacity of your 2014 Nissan Pathfinder then yes, it would be wise to install a supplemental transmission cooler like the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit # D13502. Since you will really be pushing your transmission to its limits this additional cooler will help to reduce some of the heat stress, but towing at max capacity will still be pretty rough on your vehicle. I also recommend using the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution...

  • Can Air Lift AL21838 Union Tee Air Line Fitting Be Used With Firestone Air Helper Springs
    Both the Firestone # F3025-1 and the Air Lift # AL21838 are intended for use with 1/4 inch diameter air tubing, so either union tee is interchangeable. Either one would work just fine with your # F4118 Firestone Coil-Rite air helper springs. The union tee will allow you to fill both airbags simultaneously using one Schrader valve.

  • Are the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs F4118 A Confirmed Fit for a 2016 Nissan Pathfinder
    The Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F4118 is a confirmed fit for your 2016 Nissan Pathfinder and the only option of its kind that we have for you. The air bag works by expanding which then limits the amount that the coil springs can compress. This will then reduce sag once a heavy load is applied. In order to install them you basically fold the bag and then slip them though the space in the coils. The bag does not need to extend the length of the entire coil, there can be...

  • Is There a Replacement Air Spring for a Firestone 4118 Air Spring Kit on a 2020 Nissan Pathfinder
    I was able to verify with the manufacturer that the correct replacement air spring for the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs # F4118 on your 2020 Nissan pathfinder is air spring 6118. The bad news is that the replacement air springs are no longer available. While it is far from ideal, if you are needing a replacement air spring for the 4118 system, you'd have to get the entire # F4118 kit or find one second hand.

    We have not had a chance to install the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs # F4118 you were looking at in a 2020 Nissan Pathfinder so there is not a video of the install available. I did however include a link to the written instructions that go over how to get the kit installed. Basically you will need to feed the springs into the coil springs on your Pathfinder with the valve pointing down, and then run the air lines to the rear of your vehicle and install the two valves to fill...

  • Weight Distribution Compatibility with a 2005 Nissan Murano Class III Trailer Hitch
    If your 2005 Nissan Murano came with a factory installed Class III trailer hitch, then your owners manual should tell you if a weight distribution system can be used or not. I can tell you that a weight distribution system cannot be used with any of the Class III trailer hitches that we offer for your vehicle. Your travel trailer is fairly light, but if your vehicle sags a lot when towing your trailer, then you could look into the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs, # F4118. These...
