5,000-lb Capacity. Load up your gear or hitch a trailer! This complete air suspension kit with on demand compressor and in-cab controller keeps your truck level, the ride smooth, and handling steady - all from your driver's seat.
When your truck squats under a heavy trailer or bed load, it throws off balance, braking, and steering. This Ride-Rite kit fixes that by adding air bags that work with your factory suspension to level the truck and restore control. With the air bags, compressor, and in-cab controller all working together, your truck stays level, your headlights stay aimed where they should, and your braking stays consistent. The double-convoluted design delivers up to 5,000 lbs of load support, smoothing out rough roads and giving you a steadier, safer ride when your rig's working hard.
Forget dragging out an air hose or stopping at a gas station air pump. The included compressor and in-cab control switch let you fine-tune air bag pressure right from the driver's seat. Add a few pounds when you hitch up, let some out when you unload. It's quick, easy control that keeps your setup dialed in for every drive.
Firestone built this kit so you can get the job done without chasing parts. You get the air bags, custom-fit brackets, in-cab controller, fittings, lines, hardware, and a bolt-on mount for the compressor - no drilling required. The air bag brackets line up with factory attachment points, cutting down on guesswork and helping each piece fit where it should. Depending on your experience, the install can take a day or stretch into a weekend project. Either way, everything you need is in the box when you're ready to dive in.
If you drive in snow, salt, or coastal air, you know how tough corrosion can be on metal parts. Firestone uses plated, coated, or brass components to help protect them from rust and wear, so your suspension stays strong season after season.
Firestone's been building air suspension longer than most of us have been driving. Made in the USA and backed by a lifetime air bag warranty, each kit is built for years of dependable towing, hauling, and everyday use.

Hi, everyone. Steven here with etrailer. Today we're taking a look at our Firestone Ride-Rite airbags. With the complete kit, you're gonna have the easy mount compressor and the end cab control gauge as well. Now these are ready for 5,000 pounds capacity. They are a custom fit, so make sure you're checking the fit guide at etrailer.com where it says buy vehicle information, things like year, make, and model, and any other questions that ask you to be sure you get the right parts the first time.
As you can see, there's a lot of parts here on the table. Basically, you got your airbags, all the brackets needed to mount that. It is a precision made kit, so it's gonna bolt straight into the factory attachment points on the vehicle. You have the bags with the brackets, and then you also have the compressor with its own bracketry to go and be installed as well. So you should have no drilling whatsoever.
In some vehicles, you may have minimal drilling, maybe one or two holes need large or something like that, but 99% of 'em, it's no drill whatsoever. So it's an easy installation. Just follow the instructions you should be good. And as you can see you're getting a whole lot of hardware. That's all your nuts, bolts, your Schrader valves for the airbags, cable ties, the T fittings that are push connect fittings for the airline tube.
Make sure that when you're cutting the airline tube to length, you're getting a nice clean cut. The installers here have told me over the years that's the biggest area where they've ever seen air leaks, if any is that that fitting When you push it in, you need to have as straightest cut as possible to make that skill up as best as you can. And of course the airbags, these are very nice. Firestone been around for ages. They make an amazing product if you need to get your ride back level.
So why we want airbags, why we need 'em. Well, if you're towing and maybe you're squatting where you're hooked up on your tongue weight and those kind of things in the rear, this will get you back to a normal ride height that's gonna keep your headlights back up level versus pointing at the sky. It's gonna give you traction back on your front wheels and it's gonna give you a better overall ride. And with this kit, it's very convenient to simply be able to inflate or deflate from inside the cab. And this is what we would call a single path kit, meaning you can either go up or down both bags at the same time. So it's gonna be very easy to operate whenever the time comes for you to add or remove air as needed. Well folks, there's a lot of information, a lot of parts. Reach out to us and you have any questions about this or any other kits we carry and have a great day.
I like how the Firestone All-in-one comes with everything I needed without needing to piece together a bunch of parts. The best part is that the air bags and the compressor system come in one package, so everything is already matched and ready to install. I still had to mount the compressor myself, but there’s no guesswork on what works with what.
Installation takes a little time, but the bags make a noticeable difference. They level out the truck, cut down on squat, and help everything feel more stable when you’re towing. And with the onboard compressor, I can add or remove air whenever I need, without carrying around a bulky compressor or stopping at the gas station.
It’s a solid, well-built kit that simplifies the whole process. For anyone who tows often and wants a clean, all-in-one solution, it’s a great fit.
