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 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.

2020 Ram 3500
Over the years I’ve ordered quite a bit from eTrailer.com and used them again for this upgrade. 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.

VERY PLEASED WITH THIS PRODUCT. MUCH BETTER THAN THEIR COMPETITOR.
by: Rob11/07/2022
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.

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.

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.
by: Scott11/02/2022
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.
by: Donnie 03/17/2023
High quality. Fast shipping always satisfied with e trailer!!
by: Steve 05/07/2021
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.

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.

- Recommended 7,500 lbs Air Bags for a 2015 Ram 3500 To add a 7,500 lbs air bag system to your 2015 Ram 3500, I recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs item # F2710. These air bags will level out the rear end of your Ram when you are towing your gooseneck trailer or if you're hauling a heavy load in the bed. I recommend adding the Firestone Dual Air Command System w/ Standard Duty Compressor item # F39VV. This onboard compressor will allow you to adjust the PSI in your air bags individually from your phone.
view full answer... - Which Firestone Air Bags for 2015 Ram 3500 with B&W Gooseneck Hitch InstalledI have a solution for you, but the Firestone Ride-Rite # F2709 you referenced are designed for Chevy HD trucks and not Ram trucks. However, you can use the # F2710, which are confirmed to fit your 2015 Ram 3500 Mega Cab and can be used with the B&W Turnoverball # BWGNRK1314 that you've got installed. In order to keep your air bags filled up you may want to also add a compressor system like the Firestone Air Command II - Analog Gauge w/ Heavy Duty Compressor - Dual Function - 150 psi #...
view full answer... - Will the Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label F2705 Fit a 2018 Ram 3500 with Prep PackageYes, the Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs part # F2710 will fit your 2018 Ram 3500 with the factory prep package. This is because the airbags mount in the same location as the factory jounce spring so no interference issues will be present. If you are also looking for an air compressor kit I recommend the Firestone Air Command I part # F2097. I have attached a review and sample install video for you.

We have 2 different Firestone Ride-Rite air bag kits for your 2020 Ram 3500 4x4 and the difference is their weight capacity: Standard 5,000 lb Capacity - # F2615 Red Label 7,500 lb Capacity - # F2710 Most people use the standard version but some people like to go with the Red Label simply because you have a higher ceiling to work with and you'll just keep a lower pressure in the air bag when it's not needed. Please note these will not fit if you have the factory...
view full answer... - B and W Gooseneck Hitch and Firestone Air Bag Kit Recommendation for 2017 Ram 3500For your 2017 Ram 3500 long bed the correct B and W gooseneck hitch is the part # BWGNRK1314 which has been confirmed as a fit. I attached an install video for this as well. If you ever needed to tow a fifth wheel trailer all you'd ever need is the part # BWRVK3500-5W then as this fits this hitch. The Firestone air bag kits are confirmed as a fit with gooseneck hitches like this so for that you'd want the # F2710 which is the correct fit for your Ram.
view full answer... - On Board Air Compressor System for Air Bags and Filling TiresThe Air Lift QuickShot Compressor System # AL25572 is a great choice for an onboard air compressor that will work with the Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs # F2710 and will also allow you to fill tires. This will not be able to pump enough air quickly enough to use pneumatic tools unfortunately. I have not seen a 12 volt air compressor capable of providing enough output to use pneumatic tools. The Air Lift compressor will put out 0.81 CFM at 100psi. I recommend...
view full answer... - Will Firestone F2710 Ride-Rite Air Helper Spring System for 2019 Ram 3500 Work With In-Bed HitchAccording to Firestone, their Red Label Ride-Rite Extreme Duty # F2710 air helper springs would be compatible with an in-bed installed 5th wheel or gooseneck hitch on your 2019 Ram 3500 short bed. The springs provide up to 7500 lbs of support, but wouldn't increase the weight carrying capacity of your truck. You might also be interested in an on-board compressor system like # F2219 for a dual path system that would allow you to control either air helper spring individually to compensate...

That being said, I would always choose Firestone if given the option. At 4,000 lbs you will be fine using a kit rated for 5,000 lbs as long as you don't think you will be getting close to exceeding that capacity. For your truck I recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Double Convoluted - Rear Axle # F2615. These air bags have a 5,000 lbs load-leveling capacity....
view full answer... - How Much Can a 2015 Ram 3500 DRW TowThe towing capacity of your 2015 Ram 3500 will vary based on engine size, cab configuration, drive type, axle ratio, and GVWR. If you can provide me with these additional metrics then I would be happy to look this up for you but there is a trailer towing guide with this information that is available to the public from Ram. According to my research, these towing capacities can vary from 12,020 lbs to 30,000 lbs so it is possible that your truck can handle the trailer you wish to pull but...
view full answer... - What Firestone Red Label Springs and Compressor do You Recommend for My 2022 Ram 3500 Dually 4x4?The correct Firestone red label helper springs you need for your 2022 Ram 3500 dually 4x4 is the Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs # F2710. Apart from the 7,500 pound load capacity, the Red Label springs include an adjustable firmness from 5 to 100 psi. You will be able to inflate the air bags manually individually. It is important to note that air bags like the Red Label are not designed to increase the overall weight capacity of your 3500. To add an air compressor...
view full answer... - Can Firestone Red Label Air Bags Withstand Rough Terrain in an Oil FieldFirestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs # F2710 are pretty tough. I would not be too worried about the occasional rock but long pointy things like branches could puncture an air bag. But I imagine that you are traversing this rough terrain carefully and not driving fast so I would not be all that worried about the air bags under those conditions. You will want to follow the routine maintenance outlined in the owner's manual for the air bags to ensure they stay in tip...
view full answer... - Firestone Air Bag Kit Recommendation for 2014 Ram Dually 3500 with Factory Rail KitFor your 2014 Ram 3500 that has the factory rail kit for fifth wheel towing and does not have air suspension the Firestone air bag kit part # F2710 is a confirmed fit and will work well.
view full answer... - Comparing the Air Lift 7500 Airbags vs Firestone 7500 Airbags for a 2020 GMC Sierra 3500For your 2020 GMC Sierra 3500 4x4, I recommend using the Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs part # F2710 over the Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs part # AL57541. The main reason is in regards to the construction of the airbags. The Firestone airbags use a crimp rolled design which is much more durable than the band clamp used with the Air Lift counter part. I have attached a photo of the crimp roll for you. In order to take full advantage of these...

- Replacement U-Bolts for Firestone Air Bags On a 2018 Ram 3500 HDThe closest bail clamp we have from Firestone will be the # F66JR. This will measure 6-3/4" tall by 4-3/8" wide and also has a 3/8" diameter. From what I could find out, this will replace the U-Bolt/Bail Clamp on the Firestone Ride-Rite systems # F2615, # F2616, and # F2710, which are all fits for a 2018 Ram 3500 HD.

For the B&W hitch, you will want to go with the Companion # BWRVK3600. This is rated up to 25,000 pounds and is American made. This will also lock right into the pucks in your bed and will be a quick and easy install. The Mighty Cord 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Wiring Harness # A10-7007 will also be a good option for the bed hook up. This has a nice sturdy door...

The TorkLift StableLoad # TLA7310 will improve handling by pre-activating your vehicle's factory lower overload springs and helps to evenly distribute weight. The SumoSprings Rebel Helper Springs # SSR-301-47-2 will further this support and will offer 5,000 pounds of supporting capacity when they are compressed to 50%. With that being said, this will be more...

For a compressor kit to make inflating and maintaining pressure in the system you would want the part # F2178. This allows you to have control of the air bags at any time so you don't only have the manual inflation valves that require planning ahead.
view full answer... - Is it Normal for PSI to Double in Air Bags After Loading 2014 Ram 3500I spoke with my contact at Air Lift about kit # AL57295 on your 2014 Ram 3500. He stated that what you are experiencing is normal. What I recommend is getting the truck loaded up and the trailer coupled and then adding however much air is needed to the air bags. If this is a 5th wheel trailer then at 25,900 pounds the pin weight pressing downward on the rear axle will be around 5,180 pounds so in that case it would be slightly over the capacity of this system. If you are not towing the...
view full answer... - Solution for Improving Ride Quality While Towing Trailer and Hauling Arctic Fox 811 With Ram 3500I have some solutions for you, but I would not recommend using a ball mount like the # SHK34RR at the end of your Reese Titan extension. Although this is and others like it are designed to absorb road shock, there will be a lot of extra movement at the end of the extension. It would likely negate any benefit or make it worse. The first thing I would do is add the Blue Ox Hitch Receiver Immobilizer # BX88312. This is a simple add-on that will help keep that long extension stable and secure,...

I also recommend adding an on board compressor kit such as Firestone Air Command II - Analog - Heavy Duty Compressor & Air Tank - Dual Function - 150 psi Item # F2168 so you can adjust the air pressure from the comfort of the truck cab.
