5,000-lb Capacity. Ride-Rite air springs enhance your factory suspension for safety and stability when you are hauling heavy loads. They reduce strain on your rear axle, keep your vehicle level, and adjust to load size for a consistently smooth ride.

Note: The construction material of the fittings may vary.
Firestone Ride-Rite springs are designed to increase safety and reduce the strain on your vehicle when you are hauling heavy loads or towing a heavy trailer. The springs partner with your existing rear suspension system to help keep your vehicle level, maintain even load distribution and increase stability. Hauling heavy loads or towing a heavy trailer can make the rear of your vehicle sag and the front end rise. This puts more strain on your rear axle and reduces contact between your front tires and the road, causing problems with braking, steering control and traction. By adding air springs to your rear suspension, you can help to level your vehicle and improve braking and handling. The air springs also help to level your headlight beams and reduce wear on your tires.
Adjustable Air Pressure
The air pressure in your Ride-Rite springs can be adjusted manually, side to side, to compensate for off-center loads. A centered load improves the stability of your vehicle by reducing body roll. The air springs will also help to absorb road shock and to soften contact between your axle and frame. This prevents bottoming out, thus improving ride comfort. Route the air line tubing for the springs to your vehicle's bumper to provide easy access to the manual inflation valves.
Air Spring Construction
Firestone's double-convoluted Ride-Rite air springs are designed to give you maximum load support and enhance the performance and ride comfort of your vehicle. The rubber springs provide cushioning between your suspension components and operate at up to 100 psi. The springs have four layers of reinforced rubber to ensure durability and enhance load support. A braided wire girdle creates the double-convoluted shape of each air spring, increasing the burst pressure of the spring. The rubber springs are attached to corrosion-resistant metal end plates with a time-proven, rolled crimp seal that keeps the bags securely anchored.
Air Spring Installation
Each Ride-Rite kit includes custom-fit brackets that connect to your axle and frame. The brackets provide the mounting points for the air springs. Drilling may be required for some applications.

Very courteous and helpful. I’ve put many sets of Firestone airbags on and always had good service from them with quality hardware and typically simple installation so I look for this kit to be no different.
have not installed the kit just yet but everything arrived in a timely manner and if you want excellent customer service contact roger @ he does an amazing job at finding the correct parts for your job.
Purchased after trying to get in to a spring shop
after few months decided to go with this setup happy that I made this choice as the added springs would have made a stiffer ride these make it ride well
Installed on 2021 F350 dully with service body
Exactly what I wanted and was shipped quickly. Will definitely order from this company again. The communication was also above and beyond.
The airbags were easy to install. All of the parts were shaped right for my truck and there haven't been any problems. We are moving right now and I'm pulling a 32 foot gooseneck trailer full of furniture and other things and the ride is great!
My shipment arrived ahead of schedule and as advertised. It was package very well and I am impressed with the quality and fit of the air springs I purchased. I am very pleased with etrailer.com and I highly recomend the firestone product and etrailer.com the vendor who sold them to me. I look forward to further dealings with them.

My Firestone Air Springs as well as being a relatively easy install, are still doing their job perfectly. I installed them on a 2014 F350 that is loaded down with a steel bed, tool boxes and is fitted with an 1,100 lb. welding machine with 400 ft. of welding leads. I find that the air bags have held up well and I would not hesitate to recommend them along with etrailer.com
Looks good!
I ordered the wrong parts. I needed a replacement bellow. I blew a tire and the interior tire destroyed the bellow for my Firestone Ride-Rite air helper spring. I am not sure if Firestone don't provide enough information or if etrailer.com failed to provide enough information for replacement bellows. I had to re-order from a different supplier. The other supplier had the exact information to get the correct replacement bellows. This research was expensive and time consuming, but I finally got the correct part.
All good THANKS!!
the best suspension air bag system on the market.
Great air bags. Easy to install. Excellent shipping and customer service from etrailer.com.
Product delivered on time and is what I expected. Good communication from trailer.
Bought this to counter sagging springs in the rear of my f450. Great improvement. Would definitely do it again.
So far so good we’ll find out if it actually fits. But up to this point service has been excellent
Super fast delivery. And very helpful with the questions I had.
Lori customer service was excellent
fit perfect works great
The Ride-Rite air helper springs work great. If I'm pulling a heavy trailer or loading my truck with a heavy load, I can add air to adjust the ride and level my truck. They really help the ride.
The kit I received had mismatched air fittings: one was a 3/8npt elbow instead of the required 1/8npt elbow. etrailer sent a replacement elbow and I was able to source a reducer to complete the install as I await the replacement. Glad i checked my parts before I started.
The install is pretty straight forward and the instructions are clear. The fasteners are difficult to access if you are doing the install by yourself. Must have tools include quality hose cutter and two 1-1/8in sockets.
The bags added 1in of lift to my unladen 2023 Tacoma Trail Edition at 5psi; 1-1/2in at 10psi; and 3in at 70psi.
At the 5psi minimum pressure the ride is firmer than stock. On acceleration the back end no longer “stuffs” wich is fine with me.
