What are the Torque Specs for Installing Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs on 2010 Tundra?
Updated 05/13/2025 | Published 05/08/2025
Question:
I just bought kit F2445 for my Tundra. The instructions say “torque to spec in step 6”, but then it doesn’t tell you what the torque specs are. Do you have the torque specs for the 3/8” bolt, the 5/8” nylon jamb nut, the 3/8” nuts for the carriage bolts, etc? Thank you.

Thank you! I’m just trying to level the truck from the weight of my tool boxes and a lumber rack. I also tow a dump trailer occasionally. It only took 20psi to get it back to stock ride height, and the ride quality is so much better!
