Replacement Hardware for 2016 Ram 2500 Firestone Air Bags  

Updated 07/01/2026 | Published 06/28/2026

Question:

I have a 2016 Ram 2500. I have the firestone air bags installed with daystar cradles. My right side daystar cradle has cracked 3 times. I suspect i have an alignment problem that I can’t get right. I want to eliminate the daystar cradles and use the firestone original mounts. I have the 2 large brackets that sit on the axle but I don’t have the bolts or straps that hold the lower bracket to the axle. I also need the 2 conical bolts that hold the air bag to the lower bracket. Can you help me get the right hardware kit?
