  • Concerns About Using Air Bag Suspension in Cold Weather
  • According to Firestone And Air Lift, there aren't any special procedures needed during cold weather regarding the care and use of their air suspension and compressor products. It'd be a good idea to spray off the air bags as soon as warmer weather allows, but other than that no special care is needed for cold weather. You might find that you need a few more pounds of pressure is necessary to maintain the same level of support when the weather is cold, but other than that you'll have no issue.

  • Does Air Lift Vehicle Air Bag Kit for the 1967 Pontiac GTO # AL60844 Provide Lift in Ride Height
  • The Air Lift Vehicle Suspension Kit for the 1967 Pontiac GTO, part # AL60844, is a correct fit for the 1967 GTO (as long as it is not the wagon model). Air bag kits like this are designed primarily to provide support to a suspension that is in good working order when it is handling a heavy load. They are not designed to provide suspension lift or increase weight capacity so your ride height will remain unchanged. But if faced with a heavy load in the rear they will help prevent some of...

  • Are Front and Rear Axle Springs Required for My 2021 Ford F-250?
  • Helper springs are helpful if you are planning to occasionally haul heavy loads on the back of your 2021 Ford F-250 (4-wheel drive). The springs provide load-leveling support, a reduction of strain on your rear suspension, and an improvement of both safety and ride quality. If you plan to occasionally haul cargo, a rear suspension upgrade will be enough. You will not need to upgrade the front suspension. For a great economical option that will still allow you to manually adjust air pressure...

  • Is Firestone F9335 Heavy Duty Air Suspension Compressor Waterproof
  • According to Firestone, the compressor is water resistant. It would typically install under the bed of the truck where is would be exposed to splashing from the road which doesn't present a problem. Firestone doesn't recommend submerging the compressor, however.

  • Will Air Lift Air Suspension System Raise Ride Height of 2017 Ford F-250
  • The internal jounce bumpers in the LoadLifter Ultimate air bag system # AL88399 could possibly raise the vehicle ride height a tiny bit, even when aired down, but the LoadLifter 5000 without the jounce bumper, part # AL57399 will NOT raise the vehicle ride height when aired down to the 5psi minimum, as confirmed by Air Lift. In this instance where you'd want to air down before pulling into the garage, an onboard compressor system like # AL25856 would be pretty convenient. You can add or...

  • Will Firestone F2582 Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs Change Ride Height of 2019 Ford F-150
  • At the 5psi minimum recommended by Firestone, installing their # F2582 Ride-Rite kit will not change your existing ride height, as long as your suspension isn't worn and is in good working order. If the suspension is worn, it could slightly raise the ride height. Also, you might need a lift spacer depending on how much lift has been added. If the lift is less than 1-1/2 inches, you won't need a lift spacer, according to Firestone. If the lift is greater than 1-1/2 inches, you will need...

  • Can You Set a Specific PSI For The Viair Portable RV Air Compressor Kit # VA39WR?
  • The Viair Portable RV Air Compressor Kit # VA39WR does not give you the ability to set the compressor to a specific PSI. The compressor features an on/off switch on the compressor to shut it on and off otherwise it will continue to run unless the compressor overheats.

  • Will Air Lift Air Bags Raise 2018 Ram 2500 When Unloaded
  • Air bags are not really going to raise your 2018 Ram 2500 when it is unloaded, as they simply serve as a support mechanism for your current suspension; it is possible the back of your truck could ride at most an inch or so higher, but it won't serve as a lift. This is true of all air bags, including the ones you asked about from Air Lift, the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57289. The air bags of the # AL57289 measure 6 inches tall as a standard, but there isn't an inflated/deflated...

  • Is the Firestone Air Command II Offered Without the Compressor
  • The Firestone Air Command II part # F2168 is not offered without the compressor nor are any of our tank systems. That said, we do offer the tanks separately, the Firestone Air Tank part # F9125 and dual gauge displays, the Dual Function Air Spring Control Panel part # F2241. I have attached our entire selection of replacement Firestone parts as well if you want to try to make your own kit.

  • Air Suspension Enhancement System For 2017 Toyota Tundra
  • Since the Air lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate # AL88299 does not come with a gauge for the cab of your 2017 Tundra, you can use a pressure gauge to check how much pressure you have in the system. If the loads you are carrying will not vary a lot, using a manual gauge would probably work for you. If you want to be able to change the amount of pressure you have in the springs from the comfort of your truck cab or when you are outside, I recommend an air compressor system like part # AL25980....

  • Does B&W Offset Gooseneck Coupler Reduce Towing Capacity of 2018 Ram 2500
  • That's a smart question but the B&W Extend-A-Goose Gooseneck Coupler # BWTEXA4200 actually has a towing capacity of 24,000 lbs and vertical load limit of 6,000 lbs which is still quite a bit more than the 5th wheel towing capacity will be for a 3/4 ton truck like your 2018 Ram 2500. Keep in mind the your towing capacity will be limited to the lowest-rated component of your towing set-up; for example, the maximum fifth wheel towing capacity of a 2018 Ram 2500HD is 17,980 lbs and that is...

  • Troubleshooting An Air Leak On An AirLift Air Bag Kit
  • While issues with these kits are highly uncommon, we do deal with air leaking on rare occasion. In most cases it will be leaking from a fitting and it is easily fixable once we have found the source of the leak. A soap test is the easiest most fool-proof way of finding the source. I could probably count on one hand the number of times I have heard of this over the last several years. If I recall correctly all but one was "user error" and we were able to address and fix the issue. Anything...

  • Will SumoSprings Work in Freezing Temperatures
  • According to my contact in the Engineering department at SuperSprings the correct SumoSpring fit for a 2015 Suburban 1500 would be # SSR-204-40. According to them, the SumoSprings # SSR-204-40 springs will remain functional down to -25ยบ F. Operating in temperatures below that won't harm anything, but the SumoSprings wouldn't be very pliable at those temperatures so the ride quality would suffer to a degree. I've linked you to a product description video for the # SSR-204-40 SumoSprings.

  • Will Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Air Bags Add Lift to 2013 Chevy Silverado 3500
  • There won't actually be any lift added on your 2013 Chevy Silverado 3500 with the addition of the Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs # F2709. These air bags are going to do a superb job of adding support to your truck's suspension, but I verified with Firestone that they won't give your truck any amount of lift. They will be able to help level it out when the back end is sagging, like when you are towing or are hauling a heavy load, but otherwise won't lift the...

  • Will Added PSI on Firestone Air Bags for Ram 2500 Help Trailer Bounce
  • Thanks for the purchase of the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2299, and those along with an Air Ride pin box like the Trailair # LC158778 put you very much ahead of the game in terms of towing comfort. But as far as psi in the air bags, there really isn't a recommended level. You should really just experiment to see what the most optimal setting is for you, though I will say 10 psi is pretty low. I think it would probably be a good idea to pump that psi up to see if it makes...

  • Compressor System That Can Upgrade From 2-Gallon to 5-Gallon Tank
  • There is a compressor system that will allow you to upgrade from a 2-gallon tank to a 5-gallon tank, but the Air Lift needs to use its 2-gallon tank. Instead, what you can use is a kit from Firestone: - Air Command I Xtreme Duty Compressor with Analog Gauge, Air Tank, and 25' Hose # F2543 The # F2543 comes with a 2-gallon tank, but you can upgrade to the larger tank with the Firestone Air Tank, 5 Gallon # F9242.

  • What Stops The Air Lift Load Controller II From Overfilling One Spring Over Another
  • Due to the low pressure sensor on the Air Lift Load Controller II Compressor System for Air Helper Springs # AL25592, the system will sense when one helper spring or the other is low and automatically begin filling with air. So, body roll wouldn't make one side fill up more than the other due to systems the automatic pressure regulation.

  • Rear Anti-Sway Bar for 2018 Ram 2500 With 4WD
  • The Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar # RM-1129-135 that fits your 2018 Ram 2500 with 4WD replaces the factory anti-sway bar, and just like the aftermarket anti-sway bars for motorhomes, they are an improved version of an anti-sway bar, made from 4140 chromoly steel which is a high-grade steel that means they are much stronger than standard steel. The anti-sway bar will be an upgrade but I also highly recommend adding air bags for additional suspension enhancement. The Firestone Ride-Rite...
