Hey Kristopher, great question. You have a 2022 Ram 1500 correct? If so, I definitely recommend going with the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57375. I can confidently say that using these will take care of all of the sagging, and will eliminate most, if not all, of the boat effect you are experiencing. This will be a much better option than the Firestone Coil-to-Air-Spring Conversion Kit # F2595 in my opinion.
When you are not towing you can lower the pressure inside the... view full answer...
Hey Richard, thanks for reaching out and giving your experience!
The Timbren brand is really popular because they've built a name for themselves and while they do work, a common theme we've discovered with them is that they are too stiff, especially when the tow vehicle is unloaded. We often joke that Timbrens will either fix your back problems or give you back problems.
For a better system I recommend using air bags instead. These give you complete control over how much support the suspension... view full answer...
Hello Joseph. Since you will be towing a 5th wheel, and hauling a truck bed camper, I highly recommend going with an extreme duty air bag kit with a dual path compressor system.
For the Air Bag Kit, I recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs # F2709. This is the 7,500 lb capacity kit which is ideal for heavier, more constant loads like a truck bed camper. They can be adjusted from 5 to 150 PSI, so you will be able to fine-tune your suspension to suit... view full answer...
All of that gear adds up quickly so air bags are definitely a great idea. I always recommend Firestone since they have the best construction by far and are incredibly reliable. For your 2014 Silverado 1500 the correct kit would be the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2430. These have 5,000 lbs of load-leveling capacity and the air springs come with a limited lifetime warranty.
For a compressor I like the Firestone Air Command # F2610. This is a single-path system so it will keep... view full answer...
Hi Jim; thanks for the question and we can get your 2018 Ford F-150 set up with some rear suspension help since you have quite the load in the bed of your truck. The best way to do so is definitely with air bags as they allow you to customize the exact amount of support you need instead of a static amount like bump stops.
They also won't be as harsh when you aren't taking your truck overlanding as they only have to have 5 psi in them at most. Since you are going off-road I assume you... view full answer...
As long as your 2022 Ram 3500 doesn't have the factory air suspension I recommend the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs # AL88231. Since these are adjustable with the air pressure you can better dial in your ride height. They also have the internal jounce spring unlike other air bags which help to reduce bouncing which is a common problem when using air bags to haul heavy loads. The Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System # AL74000 pairs great with these since it can monitor... view full answer...
Currently the Firestone Automatic, Single-Gauge Pneumatic Height-Control Valve w/ Compressor # F2186-2047 is our only system which allows you to set a height for the vehicle. The compressor has a maximum pressure rating of 150psi so it can be used with a variety of different air ride systems. view full answer...
Hello Dejay. So, there are a lot of different features these Air Lift compressor kits offer. While there are other factors that go into pricing, the price is generally a reflection of the features you are getting.
For example, on the lower priced end we have the Air Lift Load Controller II Compressor System # AL25592. This is a pretty basic compressor system. It uses an analogue gauge that mounts in the cab of the vehicle. It is pretty much just a compressor and a gauge with a switch... view full answer...
Hey David, thanks for reaching out!
If your RoadActive Suspension Kit isn't getting the job done for you then I recommend making sure your OEM suspension is in good working order and that the RAS is adjusted to give the most help possible.
Aside from that my only other recommendation would be to remove the RAS and go with the Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs # F2703 rated for 7,500 lbs instead. These require a bit more maintenance than the RAS but they are... view full answer...
We've got a couple options for Air Lift kits that will a 2002 Ford E-450 chassis. Which one you need will depend on where the supply lines are ran on the frame. Both kits have a 5,000 lbs load leveling capacity. I have listed them below:
Outside of the Frame - Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle item # AL57131
Inside the Frame - Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle item # AL57242
For an onboard compressor, I recommend the Air Lift WirelessONE Compressor... view full answer...
Hey Curtis, it's a bummer to hear about the frustrations you have had with the Firestone Air Command part # F2610 but for a kit to replace it I would recommend the Air Lift Heavy Duty kit part # AL25854. This is a no-frills heavy duty compressor kit that will work great and be very reliable. What we have found is that Firestone makes the best air bags but Air Lift really does the highest quality compressors. view full answer...
Hey Paul, thanks for reaching out again!
Looking into suspension enhancements can be exhausting and overwhelming, especially when you've found a solution that works for you but it seems like there is a better alternative out there. You've stumbled upon the exact dilemma that faces everyone wanting to upgrade from jounce-style to air bag enhancement and there's nothing wrong with your thinking - or with either solution.
The jounce-style you currently use are designed to be more cost-effective... view full answer...
With the weight of your camper I recommend the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs # AL35FJ. I prefer these as they have the internal jounce bumper which helps to reduce the bounce that is often associated with towing a trailer and using air bags. They will also fit with the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1116 you plan on installing.
The Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System # AL74000 is my favorite compressor kit. This is because it has a... view full answer...
Hello Brad, we do have rear air bag options for your 2005 Chevy Silverado 2500 4x4. I recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2250. These are 5,000 lb rated air bags. I like the Firestone bags better than other brands because the bags themselves are more durable. This kit will also be compatible with any in bed fifth wheel or gooseneck hitch.
You also have the option of adding an onboard compressor like the Firestone Air Command Standard Duty Air Compressor # F2610.

Hey Brian,
So I'm sorry to say there isn't a way to add an app or way to wirelessly use the Second Motorhome Kit for Roadmaster BrakeMaster Systems for Hydraulic Brakes # RM-98300.
I can see where you're coming from though, as wireless is wayyyy easier than manually monitoring and checking the air bags. It's such a pain I personally wouldn't want to go with anything but wireless, so if you were looking for something like that the easiest to use is the Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System... view full answer...
I would check the airlines coming from your Air Lift WirelessONE Compressor System item # AL25980. If you're certain it's not the air bags themselves then it's got to be one of the supply lines. You can upgrade them with the Air Lift Upgrade Kit for LoadLifter 5000 and LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs item # AL52300. view full answer...
That is an interesting description Donna and I know exactly what you mean. There's two options to add Firestone airbags to your 2019 Ford F-350 dually. Both have a 5,000 lbs load leveling capacity and are compatible with in bed hitches. Which one you need will be determined by whether or not your truck is 2WD or 4WD. I have listed both options below:
2WD - Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs item # F2600
4WD - Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs item # F35FV

Unfortunately Louie, none of our air bag helper springs are going to improve the unloaded ride quality on your 2018 Ram 2500 4wd. This is due to the factory suspension being designed to be able to haul heavy loads. When you are carrying loads the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs # AL88289 will give you the best ride quality as they have the internal jounce springs which help to absorb large bumps rather than getting the bounce most trucks with air springs will have.... view full answer...
Hey Will, so we don't have an air bag kit that fits your 2011 GMC Yukon XL 2500 but we do have a really great solution with the Roadactive suspension kit part # RAS4611 which I would have recommended over an air bag kit anyway as it's an easier install, easier to maintain, and also improves ride quality and handling unlike all other options. view full answer...
Yes, the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57341 will fit your 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 double cab with the Duramax diesel engine and factory puck system. We installed the upgraded Springs # AL88341 on a similar 2022 which I have linked the installation video below for you to reference.
I recommend installing the Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System # AL74000 with the air springs. This is my favorite kit as the smart manifold monitors the air pressure while you drive... view full answer...
