For safety and stability, air springs are the perfect partner for your rear suspension when you are hauling heavy loads. Springs fit inside existing coil springs to help level your vehicle, improve braking and handling, and reduce tire wear.

Note: The construction material of the fittings may vary.
Firestone Coil-Rite springs fit inside your existing rear coil springs to maximize the effectiveness of your suspension system. The added cushion provided by the air springs allows your vehicle to better handle a heavy load or trailer. 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 for more effective braking and handling under heavy loading or when you encounter adverse road conditions. The air springs also help to level your headlight beams and reduce wear on your tires.
Adjustable Air Pressure
The air pressure in your Coil-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 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
Coil-Rite springs are constructed of durable, elastic polyurethane to ensure years of service. Single replacement springs (sold separately) are available for maintenance to an existing Coil-Rite kit.
Air Spring Installation
The Coil-Rite springs install inside your existing coil springs. The custom-fit springs attach to your vehicle's spring seats.

For safety and stability, air springs are the perfect partner for your rear suspension when you are hauling heavy loads. Springs fit inside existing coil springs to help level your vehicle, improve braking and handling, and reduce tire wear.As most have indicated fitting the bags in the springs is the hardest part. one tip I found helpful was once the bag was partially in, force the bottom of the bag with the air tube into the center of the spring then slowly let the air go back into the bag. Once it had some air in it i was able to move it around and get into place. once installed at 20 psi it raised my back end two inched. from 35" to 37" It is now level with the front of the vehicle. my vehicle is a 2015 armada platinum. Yes it has the auto leveling system. But the system wasn't functional. I've used these before in a 2010 armada platinum and it worked out great
Overall, i like these bags a bunch!!! lifts beyond my expectations!! I carry a hitch mount 2 dirtbike carrier. My Armada suffers from severe squat and suspension bottom out to start with. with the dirtbike carrier, the truck felt as if the front wheels were lifting off the ground... and the carrier would drag upon entry to most driveways.. I will be trying out for the first time in about 3 days. So far, the ride is awesome!!! a lot better ride and control (which I did not expect). Installation does take some planning... do trial fit everything you can... that includes the air line pathway and the location of your air valve... I thought I had everything done and perfect but when I mounted my air valve into the hitch hardware, I couldn't air the valve up.. the hitch plate was too thick... I moved the valve to my thin (plastic) bumper... now works fine... see the pics... If there is something I would like to add, it would be the " Air Lift WirelessONE Compressor System for Air Helper Springs - Hand-Held Remote - Single Path
Item # AL25870"... this would make a complete solution! But there is one BIG "don't like", the air bag valve does point the line straight down toward the ground... with this install, this is now the lowest part of my suspension... I do have a concern when traveling in areas where clearance would be an issue... other than that, I'm excited (over airbags right)! enjoy the pics!
Perfect fit and really easy when changing springs at the same time.
Installed on the rear coils of a 2008 Nissan Armada after removing factory air shocks and installed a 2" lift. Easy installation and works perfect for my needs. Only suggestion would be to add a "T" to the kit so you can inflate at one point versus two.
Bags came quick and as described. I'm a professional technician so install was pretty easy. It is a little tough getting the bags in the springs but with some patience they go in. Can't wait to hook up my travel trailer and see how well they work.

Hi Tommy,What was the difference in ride handling when you hooked up you TT? Do you think an amateur could install these without special tools? Thanks,Alvin

Alvin, the ride was definitely better with the trailer hooked up after I installed the airbags. I run them at 10 psi normally and 25 with trailer hooked up. With no trailer the rear feels more planted to the road and towing it feels more stable. I still use leveling bars to help with the weight but I definitely recommend these if your going to tow. As for install its not difficult but just a pain to get them squeezed down and pushed through the springs. After that the hoses are simple push ins and just be sure to route them so they can move and away from the exhaust. Tom D.
These air bags are amazing! I have a 20' boat and hitch box I often use. The ride was horrible in my Armada when loaded down, but the air bags made a tremendous difference. The ride is smooth with no more bouncing around or bottoming out and the steering and handling are greatly improved. Installation was simple and took less than an hour for a guy who's not so mechanically inclined. When installing, use zip ties to keep bags compressed and then clip the zip ties once the bags are in the springs.
Just finished installing air spring and I am extremely satisfied.my vehicle is back to its original height........p.s customer service is outstanding.thank you.

Looks good, getting excited about putting them on...
Works great. I have them hooked to a compressor so I can inflate and deflate as needed. A great addition to the Armadas factory level system when pulling a heavy load.

Still working great.
Didn't work as advertised. 2015 Nissan Armada has a soft suspension; camper drops rear end 1.25" but this only raised back up 0.25". The camper is well below the Armada's tow capacity so overweight can't be the reason this didn't work. Can't feel a difference going down the road.

It sounds like you need to distribute your weight in the trailer or whatever youre pulling. Or you could look into a weight distribution system. It will help with the sag and if you are experiencing any sway. Let me know your weight limit and I will look into a few for you.

I have been using them when I pull my trailer. It has done the job and helped with firming up the rear suspension

Works great. Only thing I would do different at this point is to use the tee on the air lines
I installed the Firestone Coil-Rite helper springs on my 2006 Nissan Armada. The install went great, all done in about 30 minutes. My Armada used to sag 3 inches when my travel trailer (5,000 lbs) and 500 lb tongue weight before these were installed. Now with them installed it only sags 1inch and ride so much better.
I did this vs a weight distribution hitch as my Travel Travel wasn't really heavy.
I just drove it with 32 PSI from Atlanta to Orlando and back.. worked great no issues so far.
We purchased these to reduce the the sag in our 2017 Nissan Armada while towing our travel trailer. We paid someone to install them and it took them about 30 minutes. He mounted the filler nozzles just under the back bumper. The sag was significantly reduced and we didn't feel like the front of the truck was dolphining with every bump or wind gust.
Hubby installed these today, so I can't comment on east of installation. We did already go for ride and the suspension has greatly improved! Also hooked up pour travel trailer and the vehicle no longer squats at all, of course we have the weight distribution hitch attached, but I can definitely tell a difference even without the trailer attached.
One popped within a week. ETrailer refused to warranty it. Forced me to go thru firestone. That was a 6 week process so i was forced to purchase a second set in the meantime because i had a trip i had to go on with trailer. 6 months later another bag failure. ETrailer customer service unsatisfactory. I advise u Purchase from someone else
Excellent Product! Installation only took 30 minutes start to finish. Yes that includes jacking up the vehicle and installing the air lines. Very simple and easy. If you use this, get the F3025-1 Union Tee. Will use this product in the future.
Was just what I needed for my Armada. Really helped the ride, but the Armada was not up to pulling my new travel trailer. We upgraded to a Ram 2500.
Easy to install. But if putting new coil spring on bag will not fit in between coil on the springs. If install on original coil spring rolling bags up and pushing through spring will work. I I stalled new coil spring. So I just slide bag into coil spring before installing. Done both sides of vehicle in about hour and half. No problems. So far doing great. Raised the SUV back up to the original height. Made it ride and drive better.
Has worked great on my SUV. Make sure you get the satellite air valve connection, makes it easy to check the air from your bumper.
Quick ship, great help from etrailer staff in selecting product. Install was very easy (about an hour). If installing in cold weather it helps to keep the bags inside until just prior to install to make them easier to compress when inserting into the springs. Ride is much improved with these.
Just as described. Took me an hour start to finish. Everything needed is included. Looking forward to using it with the trailer. Great customer service and price match guarantee.
Easy enough install. A little bit of a pain working the bag between the coil spring while laying on your back but it it is doable. Would be easier on a lift for sure. I got them in but they seemed twisted so I gave them a little air charge and blead it back off and was able to readjust to a correctly centered position. Looking forward to hooking up the RV to see the difference.
Easy to install. A bit tough to squeeze though the coil... a bit of elbow grease needed. But otherwise pretty straight forward
worked good fantastic ride in prominent
