Question:
One of my firestone ride rite air spring has a whole in it and I would like to replace it with another one. The stamp on the top clamps says 5376. It has 1/4 inch air tube. Will Part #F6873 work for my 01 Ford F150 4wd? Thanks!

Expert Reply:
The reason your Firestone air bag wore such a massive hole in the side of it is that the kit you have installed was not designed to fit your 2001 Ford F-150 and instead was designed for a Dodge Ram truck. If you install the same air bag you have now you'll have same problem down the road.
The kit you should have installed on your truck was the Firestone part # F2320 which uses the Sport Ride bags that are a totally different design.
To answer your question though the exact replacement air bag your current setup would need is the part # F6781.
