Heavy trailers or packed beds can make the rear sink and the steering feel light. The Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs add up to 5,000 lbs of load-leveling capacity between your frame and rear suspension to keep the truck level and steady under weight. With the rear sitting right where it should, braking, steering control, and headlight aim stay consistent mile after mile.
Every load is different, and these double-convoluted air springs let you fine-tune support to match. Inflate manually from 5 psi to 100 psi through individual valves for side-to-side leveling or centered load balance. Running light? Drop the pressure to soften the ride. Loaded down? Add air to firm things up and keep body roll in check. The ability to adjust air pressure gives you comfort when unloaded and stability when hauling or towing.
The four-layer reinforced rubber design cushions the suspension, absorbing bumps and road shock before they reach the cab. A braided wire girdle forms each spring’s double-convoluted shape for strength and higher burst pressure, while corrosion-resistant metal end plates and rolled crimp seals keep everything secure. The result is reliable performance that prevents bottoming out and protects your leaf springs from strain over years of use.
Each Ride-Rite kit comes with custom brackets, air springs, air line tubing, hardware, and separate valves for manual inflation. The components mount between the frame and axle to create solid lift points without affecting your factory suspension geometry. Drilling may be required for some setups, but everything you need for installation is in the box—simple parts that fit together cleanly so you can get back to hauling without downtime.

Ratings & Reviews
excellent product, very easy (uncomplicated) install. anyone who is somewhat mechanically inclined can install themselves. It took me about 3.5 hours by myself with simple tools and a jack on my garage floor. Hardest part was me getting up and down from the creeper.
On my truck, (2015 GMC) i had to remove Ebrake cable brackets on both sides and reroute, not a big deal. also, did not find it necessary to remove spare tire heat shield, worked around it just fine. Routed my schrader valves through the plate screw holders for easy access.
Wonderful directions. Solid product. Very pleased overall. I highly recommend this system.
Quick service and item was as described
Easy installation and product works gre at!
2025 Toyota Tundra Owners - The Firestone Ride-rite brackets do not align with OEM jounce bumpers fastener locations. Save the hassle and do not order this kit.
Was not compatible with my model 1794 LE Tundra.

Hey James! I saw for these airbags, if your model of '24 Toyota Tundra has the optional Air Suspension system, these won't fit. I wonder if maybe that's what causing issues here, or no?
Product says it fits a 2024 toyota tundra, but there's no way to get the two upper brackets to bolt together without weilding or drilling new holes. I have used firestone on chev trucks and was pretty easy. My time to install was about 10-12 hours. Really difficult when says it fits and clearly doesn't. Another 2024 tundra owner's review said they didn't fit so I should have believed him.
INSTALLED EASY AND STILL WORKING AS WELL AS IT DID WHEN INSTALLED OVER A YEAR AGO
Easy to install and good quality. Order was delivered quickly.
Easy bolt on installation. All the holes lined up.
Very easy instructions sent and all worked perfectly with a B n W 5th wheel hitch already installed.
Your SUPPORT / Reviews / Detailed Specs just are "spot on". I don't shop for the lowest cost (Amazon) anymore because all of your information is so valuable; and I want to support you...even if it is more that Amazon. I will continue to support my best source of information (your videos are very helpful)...YOU. I hope your quality of support continues. It ROCKS.

Gary! Thanks, Brother. We're delighted we could help. You are our dream customer, because you actually get what we're trying to do! Have a great day, Sir!
I was hesitant about getting this kit from the reviews of the holes didnt lineup. Just look at the instructions carefully and you will have no issues
Easy to install and work perfectly. I added a T in the line so that I could adjust the pressure for both sides simultaneously.
The product is well made easy installation
My 3 star is more about customer service from etrailer and firestone
Still unresolved need a new bracket for the mounting. Etrailer points to firestone and they point to etrailer.
The issue happened on the road towing on a cross country trip. Thankfully Im resourceful and made a temp repair thats holding.
Installing be sure to follow instructions and torque everything
Parts came with paint missing. etrailer only offered small credit for missing paint from factory. Not happy with quality of paint and zink carriage bolts put pressure on hard brake lines that in time could be a problem with chafing and cause brake failure.
Info for this part was:
At etrailer we provide the best information available about the products we sell. We take the quality of our information seriously so that you can get the right part the first time.

I am sorry to hear that things did not line up for you, Reed. Is your Tundra a 4 wheel drive, or 2 wheel? Does it have the factory Air Suspension system? Just need to gather some information so we can fix the issue.
