7,500-lb Capacity. Heavy duty air springs support rear suspension for safety and stability when hauling your heaviest loads. Springs 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 truck level, maintain even load distribution and increase stability. Hauling heavy loads or towing a heavy trailer can make the rear of your truck 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 truck 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 truck 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 truck's bumper to provide easy access to the manual inflation valves.
Air Spring Construction
Unlike standard Ride-Rite air springs, the RED Label air springs operate up to 150 psi to maximize its weight capacity. 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 RED Label Extreme Duty kit includes vehicle-specific brackets, fasteners, and hardware for fast, no-drill installation. The hardware installs directly on your axle and frame and the air springs install onto the mounting points provided by the brackets. Additional equipment like control panels, compressors, and air tanks are sold separately.

It's not hard to install if you have mechanical abilities. I don't like to drill in the plastic on the interior, so I didn't want a switch or gauge hanging off the dash so the Bluetooth feature is great. I purchased some extra airline and mounted the compressor and other various parts inside my toolbox in the bed. I've done that with previous pickups I've owned. It's a little more work and materials, but I think it keeps everything cleaner and I don't have to worry about snow and dirt building up on the compressor.
Installation was relativly straight forward. Cutting the air lines straight was hard without a special tube cutter. Recently air leaks have been an ongoing problem. In the last month the pressure has gone to zero every night and the pump doesn't turn on until I open the app. Twice this month I had to unplug the pump and plug it back in to get it respond to the app. I wouldn't recommend.
Installation took about 2.5 hours with just me installing it. Install went smooth and all the parts and hardware were correct. Driver side took longer than the passenger side. Also located the air fill valves inside the gas fill lid for easy access. Have not put a load on the truck yet but should not be an issue. The last 2 photos is where I installed the air fill valves.
Installed on a 2015 F350 Super Duty with Reese universal bed rail kit previously mounted. Straight forward install with includeded instructions. No additional drill or modification except neeeding to reroute 1 wiring harness to maintain proper clearance around left bag. The left upper bracket shims didn't directly line up. There is a slight overhang of the bracket along the frame rail due to this, but enough surface area covered. Left side used (1) 1/2" and (1) 1/4" shims. Right side bracket used (2) 1/2" shims. Torque specs are labeled on top of air bag.
Everything went together fairly well once I realize not to raise the truck off the ground. When my fifth wheel was installed brackets were added to the frame so I work around those. However everything fits and is working well
Easy to install. Did exactly what I needed. I tow a 35 ft toy hauler TT. Very tongue heavy especially with no toy. These bags made it easy to keep my F350 level for a much better drive.

Zero issues with these bags. Work perfectly.
Had the bags for a year now and we had no issues with hauling heavy loads in the F350. I do adjust the air pressure to about 10 psi when I do not carry a load to help out on the ride.
After purchasing a set of Firestone Ride Rite bags from another online company and never receiving them after 6 months, I purchased a set from e- trailer and received them in just a few days. Wonderful company to work with. I will use e-trailer for my future purchases.
Works great. Video was an asset but not exact. You still must use a little common sense. Very happy

The air bags are working great. Im really happy I purchased these from e- trailer. I check them Often and top off as needed. It would be nice to have an on board air compressor though.
The hardware for the equipment was not what the correct install needed. All 4 carriage bolts were 1/2" to short.
The 3/4"× 1 3/4" fine thread bolt was missing.
Now driving around trying to

I am so sorry it arrived that way! I will have our customer service team reach out to you about this.
Been using them for a year now, softens the ride with no trailer and improves the ride and keeps vehicle level with a trailer. I'm very happy with etrailer and the firestone airbags. F350 SRW
Once installed this system works wonderfully! While we ordered the one specific for our Ford F250 so it would bolt right up the kit is not made for use on an F250 with the B&W gooseneck mounting plate under the bed. Additional bracketing had to be fabricated to complete the installation
This is the best company to order from. They were very helpful when I called for questions on what I needed. And shipping was so fast.
So far not impressed.
Installation is fairly difficult, no cutting, but lots of forcing things into position. Driver side airbag does not sit vertical, the bottom of the bag is slightly inboard relative to the top of the airbag. This misalignment caused me to cross thread the screw in the bottom of the airbag, now I have to replace it.
Plan on a full 8 hour install, not 1.5 like the instruction say.

The kit will fit tight and could be even tighter if any load is on the vehicle. There will also be a difference if the vehicle is on the ground, on a two post lift or a four post lift. The air springs may not be perfectly vertical and can be up to an inch per convolute off 2 inches total on a double convoluted air spring with no problems. Also, the rear end will move around a little while driving. If the blind nut is cross threaded, then the air spring will need replaced. This is not something that is covered under warranty. However, I will send you some additional information via email. If you can respond with pictures I am wanting to see what else we can do for you.
Installation was a challenge. But the engineering is excellent it does just bolt on as promised...and performs greater than my expectation.
Your service us always great. This came way faster than I thought. We are going to add this to our F350 when we have our 5000 pound truck camper on. It should level the load and make a smoother ride. We will add them after we take the camper off for the season.
Thank You!!
Excellent product was worth every dime I recommend it to everyone.
Great kit. Easy to do in the driveway. Had to modify the passenger side just a bit as I was installing a b&w gooseneck hitch at the same time and a couple components didn’t work well together.
I cannot rate these seeing I just received them 3 days ago , it looks somewhat easy to install an the kit looks like it's well made
I would like to do a better review when they ate installed
Just opened my package today, box was well packed. All the parts appear to be there. I’ll know more next week when we install them. I haul a 38 foot RV with my F350, probably around 24-26 gross all pack with 62 gallons of fresh water.
So if these bags live up to the reviews I’ve read I’ll be certain to add mine too.
Ride safe
Works great. Fit my F250 perfectly and did not interfere with the 5th wheel puck system(etrailer). I’m not a mechanic but was able to do it myself by jacking up the rear so the axle was hanging freely.
Adding the compressor may have added a better experience considering you can add or subtract air from the system without stopping. I’ll be adding that system before hitting the road again.

Works great. Thought of installing an onboard compressor but decided it wasn’t necessary because the system doesn’t loose air. I think it was a good investment.
I haul a 37' Fifth Wheel and 24' equipment trailer with my F-250. The Red Label air bags have made traveling through the mountains a breeze. Handling was greatly improved. I highly recommend them for any type of towing.
It works as it should and I am happy with it.
Easy install with wheels on carriage bolts should be 3.5 inches not 3 inch
at least for my 2016 f350 dually I also had to make adjustments as I have gooseneck fifth wheel hookup .
Slow shipping and what I received the item the box had big holes in it and the bag of bolts was ripped open so I have to find bolts before I can install it

It can be tough to cut the airlines without a line cutter like part # AL10530. Since the air bags appear to be leaking, the easiest way to find the leak is to mix a spray bottle with soap and water, then spray the soapy water mix on all of the air bag components with the air bags filled up. If you see any bubbles that is a leak, and you will need replace or fix what is leaking. If it is the air line, cutting it with a line cutter and reattaching may work best. If it seems to be a threaded connection, then tighten the swivel fitting another half inch turn. If it still leaks, deflate the air spring, remove the fitting, and re-coat the threads with thread sealant. Reinstall by hand tightening as much as possible and then use a wrench for an additional two turns. With regard to the app, the suggestion that I have is to delete and reinstall the app to see if that helps with the connection.
