• Comparing Air Springs And Jounce Springs For A 2022 Chevy Silverado DRW 4x4
  Hi Duane, Air Springs are better for leveling loads and will typically give you a rougher unloaded ride quality so these might not be the best option for your setup depending on what your intended use is. Air springs are the best option when it comes to leveling the truck back out after placing it under a load so if you're planning on hauling a variety of items in the bed or towing multiple trailers they would have the most adjustability. If you're only towing occasionally and ride comfort...

• Firestone Air Bags for 2026 Ford F-350 FX4 Dually
  Hey Doug! The Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F35FV are the right kit for your 2026 Ford F-350 FX4 dually. However, you will need to measure to be sure it fits. The distance from the top of your rear axle to the top of the jounce bump stop must equal 40, 70 or 80mm for this application to fit. The same is true for the Red Label # F95FV with the higher rating. If you're looking for a complete kit with an air compressor you can choose from the following: -Firestone Ride-Rite Air...

• Best Air Bag Kit For 2026 Chevy Silverado 1500 With 3" Lift Kit
  Hey Cody, thanks for reaching out. We do have air bag kits that will work on your 2026 Chevy 1500. Then you can use a spacer to compensate for the lift.

• Best Suspension Enhancement Option For 2024 Toyota Tacoma Trailhunter
  Hello Tim, thanks for reaching out. The best option for this will be an air bag kit, the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F83VV.

If your Trailhunter is lifted, the air bags can still be compatible, but you may need a spacer to compensate for the lift. Based on the specs I found online, the...

• Will the Air Lift Air Bags AL88338 Fit a 2017 Chevy Silverado 3500 Cab and Chassis?
  Hey Mike. The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs with Internal Jounce Bumpers item # AL88338 do not fit the cab and chassis models of the 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 3500. Just the standard 2WD and 4WD with single rear wheels or duallys.

I checked with Air Lift and they do not have an option for the cab and chassis...

• Should Firestone Heavy Duty Air Compressor Connect to 2019 Silverado 3500 Battery
  Hey Joe, welcome back! Firestone does intend for the # F56VV to connect directly to the battery. The compressor can pull quite a bit of power when it is running, and you don't want it sharing that with other factory circuits. You might be able to get away with running a small compressor to the fuse box, but this is a heavy duty air compressor so the battery is the only real way to do this. The ECU does remain in a low-draw standby mode so it can “wake up” from the remote or app. Yes,...

  Since you have the cab and chassis model of the 2024 GMC Sierra 3500 you'll need to go with the Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs item # F56FV.

All mounting brackets and hardware are included for installation. I prefer the Firestone brand over Air Lift anyways. The main difference...

• What Compressor For Firestone Ride-Rite Air Bags on Ford F-250
  Hey Davy, Totally understand it can be frustrating not knowing what the air pressure is in your Firestone Ride-Rite Air Bags # F2597, and it sounds like you're just wanting to use a compressor system with an air gauge. That's a smart idea because it's absolutely going to make it much simpler to monitor the psi in the bags.

• Are Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Air Bags Compatible With 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500 ZR2
  Hi Kevin; the Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs # F2709 are compatible with your 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500 ZR2. Firestone makes the best air bags so you'll definitely be happy with their performance. If you want an air compressor to go with them I recommend the Firestone Air Command # F2097 or # F56VV if you want it to be wireless. Assuming you still have the # AL25980 you purchased last year it won't work since it maxes out at 100 psi and these run up to 150 psi.

• Air Compressor Kit Recommendation to Work with Ride-Rite Air Bags on a 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500
  Hey Cody, thanks for reaching out! Great choice with the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2430 and Air Command Heavy Duty Air Compressor # F56VV! Since you're wanting a reserve to work if the compressor ever fails, I recommend getting the Air Lift WirelessONE Tank Kit # AL67DQ instead. This has a compressor that installs the "normal" way of drilling, and the tank gives you 2 gallons of air you can use to still fill the bags if the need arises. What are your thoughts on this?
