Question:

I have the ride-tire #2299 kit installed but one of the bellows blew out. This is the 5000 lb rated kit. Does the red label heavy duty #2703 7500lb bellow fit this same mounting hardwear or do I need new hardwear. Thanks.

Expert Reply:

The Firestone # F2703 uses different mounting bracket than the # F2299 so swapping the bellows out wouldn't work. To be completely honest the best option when it comes to this situation is simply to replace the entire system with a new kit because swapping out singular parts will end up costing you more than the kit and you won't have a warranty.

The correct red label kit for your 2005 Dodge Ram Pickup is actually the # F2701 and not the # F2703. With this you'll be increasing the psi capacity so if you have an on-board compressor you'll want to make sure it's rated for 150psi. If not you could use one like # F2266.
