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 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.

I put these on my 2014 F150 prior to getting a Scout Camper. They are highly effective. I use them to raise my ride height back to stock height, and you can feel the stability and support.
The only thing that kept me from giving 5 stars is the poor quality of the hardware (the nuts and bolts, not the plates and materials). Seems like they should be using a grade 5 or higher. I had one of the bolts snap when I was installing it.
by: Dave11/13/2022
Product worked as should. Instal was fairly straight forward and easy to manage. Would buy again as this is my 2nd set already (not due to failure but buying different truck). These will probably be purchased for my next truck as well.

Package shipped next day, everything was in the box. Be careful of [on-line] installation video. Some of the parts are outdated in the video. Installation went fairly smooth cant wait try them out. Should lessen some tension on the easy lift.

Awesome, seriously upgrades the towing experience. I tow often with my 2013 f150, including a 24 foot travel trailer, fully loaded dump trailer, horse trailer etc. and these are awesome. Honestly just makes the trip more enjoyable. Having a perfectly level ride is great, and it's even more comfortable of a ride when unloaded. When I'm not towing I leave about 10 psi in the bags since my shocks are a bit wore out, and it's a huge improvement.
The only thing I would change, is to put an onboard compressor in the truck and a switch in the cab to adjust them on the fly.
by: David04/01/2020
The Ride-Rite kit was shipped and delivered promptly. The online installation videos that etrailer provided online for the product help make the install a breeze. The ride height is completely where it should be now, even though it is close to the maximum weight capacity for the truck. Good quality product, fit perfectly and installed easily.

Installed it with no power tools in about 3 hours. Everything went together well. I just wish the valve bracket was longer so it would fit a little better on the receiver and clear the bumper

I installed this about two weeks ago. I don’t have a lift so spent a lot of time on a crawler. Thank goodness there is sufficient underbelly height on my Silverado 2500HD.
I bought these just to remove a bit of sag when I hook up the fifth wheel. Installation was pretty easy and the instructions were fine. Although I learned from my mistakes doing the first one, which made installing the other much smoother. I haven’t had the fifth wheel hooked up yet, but I don’t think there will be any issues. I have had them inflated to 10 PSI and the haven’t lost any pressure yet. That’s with an empty bed, so we will see how they hold up with a load.
Since I didn’t get an air compressor kit with them, I was able to use two spare TPMS sensors that I had on hand to monitor the PSI of the air bags.
So far so good. etrailer service was great as usual.
by: Jamie06/21/2023
Install with 1 person took 4 hours, mostly looking for misplaced tools. I had on for 1 year and have had no problems. I did install a 3 way tee which allows for air to be equal on both air bags from 1 valve stem. What a difference these make while towing. I can actually tow my trailer at level height and get a better ride inside the truck. If you get these bags, you will want to buy a bigger trailer!
by: Randy01/19/2023
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.
by: Mike06/07/2024
They do not fit. The kit claims it bolts right on the 2018 transit 350HD and it does not. First thing I found is you need to drill holes in the frame, even though the packaging says bolts right on. I put the top bracket on the frame with the bouncer bolt to line up to drill the hole and found the bracket is not even the correct size - it extends too far back and hits the cross beam on the frame. see pic. I spoke with e-trailer and they confirmed I have the correct parts according to Firestone. I am sending this back and going with sumo springs .....

I install this for a customer that I have on the recommendation of etrailer as being the one that was necessary for this vehicle. On receiving the product was having problems as the truck was not set up the way that the illustration showed the truck was bought new by the original owner and had 50,000 miles and have never been modified spoke to fire stone about that at the recommendation of a trailer other parts were necessary, it turned out to be quite a mess. Mini phone calls hours of trying to make something work. The system failed at about 500 miles customer was very upset. I spoke to eat trailer no help at all referred me to fire stone no help at all. It was just to say the way things go sometimes and they were very sorry. I ended up having to give the customer his money back very expensive for me all the way around very poor recommendation on what I should’ve bought for this vehicle very poor product service by a trailer and fire stone both so end result after turning the truck back to stock, I haul the airbag system that I purchased to the dump
by: Shane04/29/2024
Works perfectly! It's so nice not having the truck sag and sway after installing the ride rite air bags. I built my own hard side pop up camper on my flatbed dually and it turned out a little heavier than I wanted but with the airbags I hardly know the camper is there.
by: Ernie06/05/2023
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.

I have purchased a few items for my 2020 Fontier e.g. tow package, wiring, electric brake control, fog lights/switch, etc. - it's a 'tweener' year i.e. new power train with old style body. This Firestone Airbag recommended by etrailer.com is NOT a bolt on product for the 2020 Nissan Frontier. The driver's side rear is the issue where with the new power train there is a cannister - not sure exactly what it is...but, it interfears with the hardware. After cutting, fabbing spacers, adjusting brake lines I got it installed - took me two 14 hour days. When it was finally installed after a lot of headsctatching and figuring out how to solve yet another problem - I felt like Firestone should have paid me for all the hassle.
by: Kevin05/17/2023
The airbags were easy to install. There was an extra part that wasn't mentioned in the instructions. I figured it must be a muffler shield and inserted it. After 7 months of use a clunking noise occurred. The top nuts had loosened up. Lock nuts might helped. It took time to find the doc of the noise and a couple hundred dollars in mechanics fees. The other issue has been how long the bags hold air. I need to check them every couple of weeks when I'm towing my 24' RV on long trips. They do reduce the road bounce and rocking motion some that I got them for. My nausea is less than it was as a result. I don't like the fact that my truck rides 1/2" higher on one side than the other and I can't correct it with the bags
by: Butch02/08/2023
etrailer was very helpful with making sure I ordered the right product. As for the product... I love the addition to my 20201 Toyota Tundra TRD PRO. It made towing my 2021 Lance 2285 Travel Trailer a dream. The truck and trailer sit perfectly level now and the truck handles great. Easy install only took a couple of hours. In my pic... the stabilizer jacks are down because I was doing a quick overnighter and didn't want to unhitch. But the stabilizers aren't lifting the camper or truck.. just kissing the ground to keep the camper from rocking when inside. Its the only pic I had handy.

First, my order was processed and shipped on a Sunday. There's not too many companies doing that outside of Amazon. Awesome! If not for UPS delay in Sparks, NV, I would have received my order in less time then mentioned at check out.
Second, my Firestone kit came complete. I was skeptical due to some reviews stating they received the wrong size air hose connector. Not this one. Seems they've worked it out. Kit is installed and doing exactly what I expected.

High quality and easy to install. These air bags are working very well and keeping my truck level while towing my tow hauler.
by: Ryan W07/31/2023
So far so good. I installed these in just over 2 hours on my 2013 Chevy 2500HD for help with my fifth wheel. I pull a 12.7k pound (dry) camper. My truck was level prior to airbags, but had really harsh bouncing over bridges, put holes, etc. The side to side way and roll was noticeable was noticeable as well. These bags put all of that to an end. I've towed twice with them and 35psi seems to do the trick (doesn't life the truck higher in the rear, and takes away the bounce and roll).
I must point out that installation while straight forward, still had some issues with stock components. The parking brake cable and brackets had to be removed on both sides for the springs brackets to be installed. The passenger side bracket covered the OEM parking brake bracket location and the driver side is too tight of a fit without crimping the brake cable. My brake cable is no freely resting across the truck which I'm not a huge fan of.
by: Jon02/28/2024
The kit did exactly what I was hoping and helped to level out the rear of the truck (2016 long-bed, 2x4, Frontier) when towing my 24'camper trailer. Installation was straight forward with the most difficult aspects being removal of existing rubber axil bump stocks
by: Jeff04/19/2024
It happy. Poor packaging allowed parts to bang around in shipping and paint and pieces of metal to flake off on the larger pieces.

- Can Airbags be Used with a Weight Distribution System on a 2014 Ford F-150Adding a set of airbags like the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F2542 which is what I recommend for your 2014 Ford F-150 can be used with a weight distribution system and will be an excellent one-two combo for you. The airbags will improve ride quality dramatically taking a lot of the bumps out of the system which will also help prolong the life of your existing suspension components.

This will allow the air springs to extend to their maximum length without being damaged. The uninflated air springs are capable of supporting the weight of the axle when the vehicle is lifted by the frame. If the vehicle is to remain on the lift for an extended period of time I recommend using some jacks to support some of the weight from...

The spacers you need for a 2-inch lift is the Lift Spacers for Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - 2" Spacers # F2366. These spacers will work with the Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs as long as the length between the mounting brackets is between 7.5-8.5 inches. I went ahead and attached a diagram...

- Is There a Firestone Air Bag Kit and Gooseneck Hitch that Fits 2013 Ford F-150Firestone has an air bag kit # F2542 for your 2013 Ford F-150 that would fit with a B and W Gooseneck hitch # BWGNRK1104 but if you have the # F2525 there isn't a way to make it fit with a gooseneck hitch as the brackets interfere and there isn't a replacement that alleviates that problem. So the best option I have would be to go with the # F2542 if you don't have this kit already and then go with the B and W Gooseneck # BWGNRK1104.
view full answer... - Replacement Right and Left Frame Mount Brackets for Firestone # F2542 Ride Rite Air Helper SpringsWe do indeed offer the frame brackets for the Firestone # F2542 Ride Rite air spring kit. The left frame bracket is # F5739 and the right bracket is # F5738.

The good news is that one of the two Firestone kits, part # F2542, was specifically designed to work together with the B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch # BWGNRK1104. So this is the air bag/gooseneck combination I recommend using. Not only are they perfectly...
view full answer... - Suspension Enhancement and Gooseneck Hitch Recommendation for a 2014 Ford F150 Black OpsThe Black Ops 2014 Ford F-150 has a 6 inch suspension lift on it . So the setup I can recommend is the part # F2542 for a air bag kit. This kit can only be used with the B and W hitch part # BWGNRK1104 so that would be the hitch I would recommend. Since you have a 6 inch lift you would then need the 6 inch lift spacers # F2375.
view full answer... - Differences Between Firestone Ride Rite Air Helper Spring Kits # F2542 and # F2525According to my Firestone representative, the only difference between the # F2542 and the # F2525 is that the mounting brackets on the F2542 are a bit different to allow a B and W fifth wheel hitch or a fifth wheel hitch with the # RP30035 universal brackets to be installed. The Firestone # F2525 would not be compatible with frame brackets for a fifth wheel hitch.

Their # F2542 had been tested with the B&W hitches, but not with anything from Reese. Because the F2542 mounts to the outside of the frame rail, I believe the install brackets for the Elite Series would interfere with the install of the airbag kit. Going with a Timbren system like # TFR1502D for 2WD or # TFR1504D for 4WD would be compatible, as they replace the factory jounce stop on the bottom of the frame...

This is because this particular air bag system is designed to fit the B&W install brackets. If you are using Firestone kit # F2525 then you will not be able to install the B&W hitch.

My Firestone rep tells me that there's a good chance that a Universal Install Kit like the Reese # RP30035-426 would fit, but since they haven't tested it, we can't guarantee fit.
