Firestone Ride-Rite Air Spring Basics
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.

Not impressed whatsoever. Powder coat peeling off right out of the box, bolts are not long enough for the washers to work and go through the nylocks correctly. Grade 5 carriage bolts with grade 8 nuts. Carriage bolts run into the brake lines unless you bend the brake lines out of the way. Bags don’t line up straight up and down no matter what you do. Brackets that attach underneath the axle bend ridiculously easy as well as the carriage bolts. For $[XX] I was expecting much more. Would not recommend whatsoever, if you want good bags, buy the air lift bags they are much nicer. Bought these to give them a try since this is where I purchased my gooseneck hitch from as well and as very disappointed. Would not recommend at all. etrailer service was great but this product is junk all around. The only nice thing in it is the rubber on the bags themselves. For $[XX] there should be no question in quality at all and the quality here is very poor.

Bags work as advertised. I also ordered the T fitting. System leaked from day one. I was told it would until May: June of 22 to receive new Firestone T fitting. No mention that a Ride Right T would work( it was 1/2 price) Finally ordered a Ride Right T, received it 3-5 business days. System now holds air. Sent old Firestone T back for refund, no credit on card on file, been 60 days or more. etrailer staff dropped the ball on this one. Product is good, etrailer service was poor on this order

I will have our Customer Service team reach out to you. I see that the T fitting part # AL21838 was the fitting that you ordered. I am glad that it is working for you. We typically would not recommend it only because it was made by a different manufacturer and the part would not have been tested with the Firestone system.

Air springs are ideal for leveling your truck bed when towing or hauling heavy loads. For a constant load that requires some extra stability, a different type of load support may work better for you. Many customers have found they like SumoSprings Helper Springs, like # SSR-312-54 for your 2018 Ram 2500, when hauling a truck bed camper.

Outstanding kit. Install was fairly easy. Passenger side frame bracket was had to be bent open a hair to fit over the vehicle frame. Installed with the Air Lift 73000EZ compressor on a 2019 Ram 2500 4x4. Towing a 5th-wheeel with 2300lbs pin weight (11,000lbs trailer). The complete system works beautifully. Can adjust the ride height of the truck to properly level the trailer. Stable tow during high cross winds. Have over 10,000 miles towing in the past year. Very happy with this system.
by: Scott04/14/2020
It does the job, although the bags leak. Multiple times i have gone through the routing of the lones3 and air bags and they leak down when pressure is added to the bed or gooseneck trailer is hooked up. Although I already discussed with tech support about this issue and they were very helpful, the bolts for the brackets are danger close to rubbing on the rear brake line. For the cost of the bags and compressor i would have expected a better design. Again the air bags work very well, its keeps kicking the compressor on as they have a small leak (that I can't find). Bags do a great job of keeping my truck level when hauling heavy loads on my 30ft gooseneck trailer and keeping all 4 tires planted for good traction and even wear

These bags are Firestone RED LABLE or Xtra Heavy Duty High Pressure air bags. I rate these bags 5 star, that being said, the question really is: Do you need bag pressures above 30-50 psi? The most likely answer is No, that being the most likely answer, I would purchase Firestone Standard Air Bags. Why? Presure. I never exceeded 30 PSI with my 2015 Dodge Ram 2500 6.7 Diesel. Yes I pull at or above Max Load. GREAT BAGS & EASY INSTALL. FYI: Install airlines with separate independant fill valves to maintain stable ride in curves and corners. I do not recommend single full point to both bags, bad idea.

2017 Ram 2500
The Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label air springs came packaged really well in a nicely designed box with professional graphics. The provided instructions are very detailed and geared for any average person with a modicum of mechanical abilities. The videos that are linked to this product, filmed by etrailer, are spot on and provided the needed guidance. By choosing to complete the install myself, I am almost certain that I saved several hundred dollars. The drivers side Air Spring went in quickly with no issues. However the passenger/off side Air Spring install was no picnic. The frame mount and upper spring bracket bolt holes did not match up at all. A step drill had to be used with cutting oil to make considerably larger holes to allow the bolts to line up. I have a feeling that the jig that Firestone is using during the manufacturing process may be off a bit. The "wings" on both spring brackets had to be bent a tad to slide up into place to sandwich the frame where the old OEM jounce stops used to be as well. They had to be placed in a shop vise and widened with a long 2x4. This job, which was going along smoothly, turned into a 6hr day rolling around on a creeper. Other than the install issues, the product is made really well. You can tell it is made for heavy duty. It Is finished in a nice powder coating. It works as advertised and raises the rear to support heavy loads for towing. Would like for Firestone to adjust their manufacturing jigs though.

- Recommended Air Springs and Dual Zone Compressor for 2019 Ram 2500 with In-Bed HitchThe Firestone kits are not compatible with in-bed hitches like your B&W. My recommendation for your application is the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle # AL57289 which is compatible with in-bed hitches. Then for your compressor system I recommend the Air Lift Load Controller Compressor System for Air Helper Springs - Standard Duty - Dual Path # AL25852. This will give you the side to side adjustability for off-center loads.

- Air Bag Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for 2020 Ram 2500 Towing 5th WheelThe best air bag kit we offer for your 2020 Ram 2500 is the # F2706 as it can provide up to 7,500 lbs of additional suspension support and also features the highest quality air bags available. I attached an install video for this on a similar 2018 Ram 2500 for you to check out as well. For a compressor kit then the heavy duty part # F2097 will make inflating the bags and maintaining them very easy. The compressor will inflate faster than standard compressors and the gauge inside the vehicle...

With that said, the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs - Front Axle # SSF-301-47 is rated up to 1,000 pounds of capacity, at 50% compression, and will help with sway and absorb bumps and shocks. To further this, you can also add the Roadmaster Front Anti-Sway Bar # RM47VR. This will really...

The Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TDR2500D that fits your truck can do the job, but they can cause a pretty rough ride without a load in the bed due to their hollow rubber construction. So I definitely recommend air bags, and the Firestone bags are the best because they are made with four layers of reinforced rubber, which is a thicker, more reliable construction...

You may not need to max out the higher capacity for carrying your camper, but by using the higher capacity system it means you won't be stressing out the air bags nearly as much, plus you have a higher ceiling for weight.
