• What Brackets do I Need to Fit the Firestone # 6781 on My 2015 Ram 1500?
  Thanks so much for providing the picture. The air bag you have is the Firestone # F6781. However, with this particular spring, the brackets that are compatible with this spring are not compatible with your vehicle. This is because the brackets that are compatible with your 2015 Ram 1500 are designed to fit certain models of air springs that have different mounting hole locations. You can try to use brackets designed to fit the air bags like the # F5092 and the # F5376, but these brackets...

• Firestone Coil-to-Air Spring Conversion and Compressor System For a 2009 Dodge Ram 1500
  Adding the Firestone Coil-to-Air Spring Conversion Kit # F2595 on your 2009 Dodge Ram 1500 will allow you to level your suspension when towing or carrying heavy loads in your bed. While this will not actually increase your suspension like a lift kit it will make up for the sag in your current suspension due to having a suspension system that is at least 13 years old. I recommend using the Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System # AL74000EZ to control the air pressure in your air springs....

• Does Firestone Coil to Air Spring Kit # F2595 Lower and Raise Suspension Height with Air Pressure
  When there is a low air pressure in the Firestone Coil to Air Spring Kit part # F2595 the suspension will sit lower by a couple inches. To get an idea check out the last 45 seconds of the install video I attached and you can see our installer putting air in the system and you can see the rear suspension rise up slightly.

• Recommended Air Bags for a 2015 Ram 1500 with In-Bed Hitch
  The only true air bag option for a 2015 Ram 1500 with in-bed hitch is the Firestone Coil-to-Air-Spring Conversion Kit part # F2595 which replaces the coil springs. If you don't want to do that then you can install an in-spring air bag like the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F4185. Unfortunately, all other air bag options for this vehicle won't work with this vehicle due to the brackets interfering with one another.

• Can The Firestone Ride-Rite Be Used To Lower My 2017 Ram 1500?
  We have had this come up in the past and Firestone has confirmed that yes, the: -Firestone Coil-to-Air-Spring Conversion Kit # F2595 can lower your truck when compressed to the minimum 5 PSI, however they do not specify how much lower the truck will be. Additionally, none of Firestones air bags have internal bump stops. The reason being is because Firestone's air bags being more robust, eliminating the need for them. Finally, to inflate/deflate the springs you're going to need a compressor...

  The Firestone Coil-to-Air-Spring Conversion Kit - Rear Axle, part # F2595, will work on your 2009 Dodge Ram 1500. This is NOT a direct replacement for your factory air shocks, nor do we offer any direct replacement. However, I did confirm with Firestone that they will work with your existing factory air shocks. They are rated to have up to 3,000 of load leveling capacity. It will not increase your vehicle's weight-carrying capacity, but it will help your truck by offering more support under...

• Comparing Rear Anti-Sway Bar with Air Bag Kit for a 2018 Ram 1500
  Installing the Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar # RM-1129-135 on your 2018 Ram 1500 will help with sway while an air bag kit like the Firestone # F2595 will not only help with that sway, but it will also help with rear sag. If you're leaning towards something that is maintenance free and helps with the sway then go with the anti-sway bar. For something that offers more control and will help with rear sag then definitely go with an air bag kit. Let me know what you're looking to get out of...

• 2018 Ram 1500 Firestone Ride Rite Air Bag Kit Recommendation
  As long as you don't have the factory Air Suspension or the Rebel model you'll want the Firestone Coil-to-Air-Spring Conversion Kit # F2595 for your 2018 Ram 1500. This is an air spring kit that can be adjusted to fit your towing/hauling needs depending on how you're using your truck from day to day. The 3,000 lb weight rating of this kit has to do with how much payload weight the air springs will help to support as these aren't designed to take the place of your OEM suspension. They won't...

• How to Choose The Right Air Compressor System for Firestone Ride-Rite Airbags
  There are a few things you will want to look for when choosing a compressor system such as: compressor size, single/dual function, and optional air tank. A standard duty compressor is capable of up to 130 psi whereas a heavy duty compressor is capable of up to 150 psi. The bigger the compressor you have the less work the compressor has to do which in turn creates less stress on the compressor. An underworked compressor will last far longer than an overworked compressor. You will also...

• Troubleshooting Firestone Coil-to-Air-Spring Conversion Kit Deflating in Extreme Cold on 2016 Ram
  The best thing you can do is make sure you have additional air pressure in your # F2595 when the temperatures are going to be that low. According to Firestone, these air springs are tested to -40 so they are able to handle the cold you're experiencing. If you had them set at the correct psi at a higher temperature you're going to have to add extra air when you know it will reach those sub zero temps. More than likely the shop was heated to above freezing, so you're talking about at least...

• Will The Firestone Coil-to-Air-Spring Conversion Kit Fit On a Lifted 2016 Ram 1500 4x4?
  The Firestone Coil-to-Air-Spring Conversion Kit # F2595 will only fit at stock height on your 2016 Ram 1500 4x4. They do not offer lift spacers which are compatible with these air springs. If you do find a 6" lift kit which maintains the factory coil springs you can use the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs # F4185. As many lifts will send new coil springs I may be able to help you find a set of Air Helper Springs which will fit into the new coils but I will need to verify the diameter...

• Replacement Mounting Parts Needed for Firestone Air Bags on a 2014 Ram 1500
  Hey Stephane, thanks for reaching out! I can check on the replacement mounts, but I wanted to reach out first and see if you're installing the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs # F4185 or the Firestone Coil-to-Air-Spring Conversion Kit # F2595 on your 2014 Ram 1500? These install differently on your truck and we don't always have the replacement parts readily available so if you can let me know which one you're installing I can look for those parts for you.

• What Is the Per Bag Weight Capacity of the Firestone Coil-to-Air-Spring Kit for a 2017 Ram 1500
  The total capacity of the Firestone Coil-to-Air-Spring Conversion Kit part # F2595 which is a fit for a 2017 Ram 1500 is 3,000 lbs. That said, this only really translates to payload or pin/tongue weight so you won't ever have to worry about exceeding this figure. Firestone doesn't really rate each airbag individually.

• How To Select The Correct Air Bag Helper Springs For a 2019 Ram 1500
  When selecting air bag helper springs I like to take into consideration not only the weight the truck can haul but also how often the truck carries heavy loads. As I see you have a 2019 Ram 1500 you have a few options. Do remember these will not increase payload or towing capabilities, they only improve vehicle stability and safety when carrying loads. The Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs # F4130 are the lightest option. These have a capacity of 500-1,000lbs. I recommend these for...

• Will Firestone Air Bags Work with Timbrens on a 2014 Ram 1500
  If you're referring to the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F4185 then yes, you can use these with the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System part # TDR1500DQ. If you're referring to the Firestone Coil-to-Air-Spring Conversion Kit part # F2595 then the gap would be too tight between the spring and bag therefore I do not recommend this.

• Does Firestone Coil-to-Air-Spring Conversion Kit # F2595 Include a Compressor
  The Firestone Coil-to-Air-Spring Conversion Kit # F2595 does not come with a compressor and one is not technically required as you can manually inflate the bags with an external compressor, but realistically you will want a compressor kit. For a heavy duty compressor kit that will make inflating the bags easier the part # F9285 would work well.

• Best Suspension Enhancement Option For A 2022 Ram 1500
  Hey Kristopher, great question. You have a 2022 Ram 1500 correct? If so, I definitely recommend going with the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57375. I can confidently say that using these will take care of all of the sagging, and will eliminate most, if not all, of the boat effect you are experiencing. This will be a much better option than the Firestone Coil-to-Air-Spring Conversion Kit # F2595 in my opinion. When you are not towing you can lower the pressure inside the...

• Will A Weight Distribution System Require Suspension Enhancements on a 2017 Ram 1500
  The use of a properly rated and installed weight distribution system will not require the use of additional suspension enhancements such as the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancements. However, as your 2017 Ram 1500 has coil springs on the rear of the vehicle which tend to sag/squat more than the comparable leaf spring rear suspension setup, I recommend replacing these coil springs with a set of air springs such as the Firestone Coil-to-Air-Spring Conversion Kit part # F2595 which will increase...

• Difference Between the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement and the SumoSprings Solo Helper Springs
  The better option to help minimize the level of squat you are expecting on your 2014 Dodge Ram 1500 while towing is the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System part # TDR1500DQ. The Timbrens are made of a much stiffer material in comparison to the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs part # SSR-307-47 which will in turn provide you with more support. However, while engaged the SumoSprings will provide a slightly softer ride in comparison to the Timbrens. For the best of both worlds...

• Will the Firestone Coil-to-Air-Spring Conversion Kit Lower a 2017 Ram 1500
  I spoke to my contact at Firestone and they informed me that the Firestone Coil-to-Air-Spring Conversion Kit part # F2595 while installed on your 2017 Ram 1500 will lower the rear of the truck while deflated to the minimum pressure which is 5 psi but they were not able to say how much. In order to lift and lower the rear of the truck on command you will want to install a compressor kit for which I recommend using the Firestone Air Command I part # F2097 as it has a heavy duty compressor...

Please not that none of our suspension enhancement kits will increase the weight capacity of...

• Air Helper Spring Suspension For 2020 Ram 1500
  Because the 2020 Ram 1500 uses a coil spring suspension, there isn't a Ride-Rite system available for the 1500 series. For an air adjustable suspension, you'd want to use the Firestone # F2595 coil to air spring conversion kit you'd looked at. The kit adds 3000 lbs of support to level the front and rear ride height of your truck. The # F2550 you'd referred is a fit for a leaf spring suspended Ford F-Series truck, and therefore wouldn't work on your Ram 1500. I've linked you to the...
