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 Ram 2500 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.

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.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.
Easy instalation and adjustments for different loads.
Very easy product to install looking forward to see how it perform very good instructional videos on etrailer
From what I can see this will be a help while towing.

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.
Ordered Firestone air-assist springs that ended up back ordered ... George J reached out to me to explain the situation and kept me posted on the status checking with me when they were ready to ship ... so very good and rare customer service that is greatly appreciated ... good job!

Air springs have worked well allowing adjusting hitch height to level trailer tend to hold air pressure well minor fit issue when installing passenger side brackets that requires grinding ca. 18 of truck suspension bracket to allow installation.
They are working great fits great easily put on with a little mod to passenger side.
Great price and would use etrailer again thanks.
This did not help to make the back more stable so I could put a camper in the bed. I just sold the truck as was not good for camper, and the Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Vehicle Suspension did not help.

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.

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.
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.
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.
A thank you from Quebec !!!
The site is very functional.
The information is relevant and the follow-up is personalized.
I received my items in good condition
For these, it's a matter of bolting them to the frame of the truck and are used to maintain a camper carried in place. Tie down #

Au plaisir!!
It is a good addition for when we pull our 5th wheel! It keeps the truck level while loaded.
Installed these air bags on my 2018 Ram 2500. The install was easy and have had zero issues with them. Great product!!
The inventory of components and parts did not include the air springs and all the hardware. Now I'm waiting for a resolution.

It is disappointing to receive the kit and not be able to install it. Customer Service will be in touch to have the missing components shipped out.
Quality and well built,I put this kit on my 2021 ram 2500 was rather easy to install and now I have the ability to adjust my rear bed height for towing any load without sag. I highly recommend this kit and they are top notch manufactured thanks etrailer you guys are the best.
Super easy to install and work great
As always from etrailer.. great communication, on time, well packaged. I would recommend to anybody.
My sales rep Adam was very helpful and getting the information I needed to help me solve my problem my truck was seesawing back-and-forth from side to side with the slide in camper on it due to having coil springs the airbags completely stabilized my truck and made it drivable it sure beat the heck out of spending $10,000 to upgrade to a heavier truck ( the newer ram three-quarter ton trucks have coil springs in back instead of the traditional leave springs) and much to my surprise the order arrived three days earlier than anticipated. I will be doing my future shopping with etrailer.com and Adam
Very easy Installation I did everything in my driveway. Hugely recommended
Easy kit to install. I just need to a remote compressor kit for it now.

This is the compressor kit that we recommend with this suspension kit: item # F2219.

The product works as advertised. The only problem I had on the install was due to a poor fit of the passenger side upper bracket. The problem was RAM's, not the Firestone bracket. I had to do a little grinding on the bracket to get it to fit over a nasty weld on the truck frame. I would have ground on the frame instead but I couldn't access the spot with my grinder.
This kit works great just what I wanted for Ram 2500 Diesel pickup truck. This lift package raises the back of my truck up when am pulling my fifth wheel trailer.

Still working good. I had a leak in both hoses and but a tee inlace of a splice and then capped them. They work great to adjust different loads.
