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.


Firestone Ride-Rite air spring installation

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.

  • Rear Anti-Sway Bar for 2011 Georgetown 360 Motorhome on a Ford F-53 V10 Chassis and 22K GVWR
    The correct rear anti-sway bar for the 2011 Ford F-53 motorhome chassis V10 rated for 22,000 pounds is # RM-1139-149. Check to ensure there is enough factory u-bolt available to accommodate the factory nut, washer and 1/2" plate. If the u-bolts are not long enough, the # RM-590050-00 u-bolt replacement kit is needed; sold separately. I have linked a video showing an example installation for you. Rear anti-sway bar # 1139-144 only fits up to the 2005 Ford F-53 chassis.

  • Why Won't Firestone Air Bag Kit Fit a 2008 Thor Motorhome
    We list the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2170 as a non-fitment on your 2008 Ford F-53 Thor motorhome because that's what Firestone has marked in their fit guide. When I reached out to my contact at Firestone for more details he said it may fit, but when they looked at the Thor line of motorhomes the vast majority of them had some type of interference with the upper bracket. This could be gas lines, water lines, electrical wiring, or other pieces. Because of this they have...

  • Suspension Enhancement For 2000 Ford F53 Motorhome
    The suspension enhancement we offer for your 2000 Ford F53 are designed to be installed between the axle and the vehicle frame. For your F53 I recommend the Firestone Vehicle Suspension, part # F2170. Installing any enhancement system will not increase the load-carrying capacity of the vehicle and should only be installed on a vehicle with a properly working suspension. The leaf springs we offer here are designed to work with trailer suspension. You may want to check with your motorhome...

  • Suspension Enhancement for a Motor Home Built on a 2011 Ford F-53 Chassis
    It sounds like you may want to first have the suspension components inspected because any enhancement product will need to be installed on a vehicle with good working suspension. For the front, I recommend going with a Firestone air bag system, # F2070, Having air bags will allow you to level the vehicle as needed. For the rear, the air bag kit is # F2170. This will fit as long as the distance from the outside of the frame to the inside of the tire is at least 8 inches. Using air bag...

It will install in place of the bump stops on the vehicle. They are designed to work with a suspension system that is in good working order.

  • Recommended Air Bags for 2000 Winnebago Adventurer Motorhome
    In order to add air bags to a 2000 Winnebago Adventurer it needs to be a 32V - Ford, 35B, 35U, or 37G. Based on the length and F-53 it sounds like you have the 32V. If that is the case, I recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Double Convoluted - Rear Axle # F2170. These air bags will install between the frame and the rear suspension to help keep you level. This will help improve steering and braking while also reducing tire wear. The # F2170 has four layers of reinforced...

    The Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2170 will definitely help you level your 2011 Coachmen Encounter 37TZ back out with it's 4,800lb capacity.

  • Replacement Upper Mounting Bracket for Firestone Air Bags on 2005 Coachmen Mirada Motorhome
    From what I have found, there is only one rear kit that fits the Ford F-53 Chassis used on your 2005 Coachmen Mirada Motorhome. That kit is the # F2170. The FSN-21-9015 number you provided is actually the part number to the sticker on your Firestone Ride-Rite Helper Springs, and not the model number of the helper spring kit itself. We do have the upper bracket for the # F2170. What you need is the Replacement Upper Bracket for Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs Kit - Qty 1 # F5216.

  • Is an Air Compressor Required for Firestone Ride Rite Air Helper Springs
    The Firestone # F2070 Ride Rite Air Helper Spring system is a confirmed fit for the front axle of a 2007 Ford F-53 motorhome chassis. Out of the box, the kit provides 2 Schrader valves that can be filled by using a compressor. An on-board compressor is a very handy and convenient feature to have so you can adjust the pressure in the system according to the loads carried and road conditions you encounter from the comfort of the motorhome, but it's not absolutely necessary.
