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 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.

Their staff always makes sure to get you the correct answer for questions and are quick to follow up, Their prices are always very competitive too.
I knew what I need and ordered online, the well packed box arrived within a few days and was complete and undamaged.
My son and I installed this Firestone airbag kit late on a Saturday afternoon and took our time. The instructions were well laid out and clear. I didn’t watch any install videos. This was a very easy job if you don’t mind getting dirty. It is important to pay attention to the details highlighted in the instructions. It’s helpful to lay the parts out and practice assembly on a few items since you will be on your back and working where you can’t see what your hands are doing above the axle. Don’t get in a hurry.
I added an airline tee (not included ) to my install since I’m only hauling trailers and I’m not worried about adjusting the levels from side to side, this simplifies adjusting air pressure to just one valve. The parts all seem well made and heavy duty for the job. This is the same brand and model popular with hot shots and camper haulers.
Five stars across the board, I know you will all appreciate my low beams not blinding you when I am rolling down the highway.
The product was exactly as advertised, delivered timely, and I have had zero issues with the product.
Air bags are great. Tow a ton. Happy. R ecommend
Excellent service!
Ordered Wednesday afternoon, arrived friday morning.installed Friday afternoon. Easy install. Should have done it years ago!
As a reference point to others, I have a Dodge Ram 3500 without duel rear tires. My biggest loads are my Artic Fox slide-in camper or my 12k utility trailer. I had a set of helper steel springs to help handle the load, but the ride was rough. I dumped the steel helper springs and installed the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Springs. That has allowed me to vary the air pressure with the load in the truck for an improved ride, especially when empty. The structural parts of the kit are very good and well designed and installed quite easily. The air fitting sucked. I never got the ones that go into the top of the air springs installed. I went down to the local auto parts store and got some that fit. I should admit that it was subzero in my unheated garage when I installed them so that added to difficulty of handling small parts in tight spaces. Performance wise they have met my expectations and improved the ride of the truck when loaded or empty.
VERY PLEASED WITH THIS PRODUCT. MUCH BETTER THAN THEIR COMPETITOR.
Great quality. Excellent installation instructions. Performs perfectly. More than compensates for the weight of my 3000lb cabover camper. Handled around 4500lbs of tile pallets no problem. Definitely recommend these bags
We install these for customers and they love them.
Gave sit 4 stars only for the fact: yes it will work with 7k axels. However you will need longer U bolts which etrailer does not offer for the 3” or 7k axels. Had to get longer and upgraded U-Bolts from etrailer. I ordered these from Rough Country.
They were longer than needed cut about 1.25” off.
I got one fill valve, instead off two. So I gave you four not five stars. I did order the tee so I made it work. Good product, No complaints.
Overall I think this is a great product. The only flaw would be the bracket for inflating the air bags. I remounted the air hoses by installing thru the license plate bracket for more security.
High quality. Fast shipping always satisfied with e trailer!!
Installation was easy. Installed on a 2020 Ram 3500 Dually hauling a Lance 1172 slide in camper which weighs approximately 4600 pounds dry. Easily raised the truck to level at 120 psi.
Awesome product easy to install!
Dealer installed it and I haven’t used it much yet, but my older kit on another truck has been great for past 5 years
Just received my air bags today. Haven't put them on yet but excited i have them already. Thank you
Have not install it yet, but it sure looks good and promising
Every thing went perfect 2 hrs and me and my grandson had it done. The ride is noticeably better.
I received my package 10 day’s earlier than I expected! That’s hard to beat these days!
Great service
all good !
