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 vehicle level, maintain even load distribution and increase stability. Hauling heavy loads or towing a heavy trailer can make the rear of your vehicle 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 vehicle 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 vehicle 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 vehicle's bumper to provide easy access to the manual inflation valves.


Firestone Ride-Ride air spring components

Air Spring Construction

Firestone's double-convoluted Ride-Rite air springs are designed to give you maximum load support and enhance the performance and ride comfort of your vehicle. The rubber springs provide cushioning between your suspension components and operate at up to 100 psi. 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 Ride-Rite kit includes custom-fit brackets that connect to your axle and frame. The brackets provide the mounting points for the air springs. Drilling may be required for some applications.

Product says it fits a 2024 toyota tundra, but there's no way to get the two upper brackets to bolt together without weilding or drilling new holes. I have used firestone on chev trucks and was pretty easy. My time to install was about 10-12 hours. Really difficult when says it fits and clearly doesn't. Another 2024 tundra owner's review said they didn't fit so I should have believed him.

Every thing went great ordering, completing the order. The wheels showed up on time as said. Two boxes two wheels per box one with center caps in separate box in between two wheels the other box not so great. The two wheels were touching each other during shipping small scratches are visible but will not affect product



by:

The service and shipping were fantastic. The rim was delivered on time.



by:

Love the way the wheels look, much nicer than the galvanized steel that came on the trailer. I ordered caps but won’t use them. They look really good without the caps. And I’m afraid of trapping salt water in the hub area.



by:

Decided to upgrade my new trailer to some aluminum spoke rims. These closely matched the rims on my Expedition. Super fast delivery, rims arrived in 3 days from ordering and arrived securely boxed and in perfect condition! Thanks George, great product at a good price!



by:

Quick shipping , Great service



by:

These wheels(rims) were exactly what we we were looking for and we think this is a significant upgrade to our 2008 Jayco JayFlight G2 travel trailer over the original, somewhat worn old wagon wheel style rims that came with the trailer. The service from etrailer is just as important to this review as the wheels however.
We had a problem with one of the HiRun tires installed 5 yrs ago while we were on the road from North Carolina to Delaware. Upon closer inspection, and not being able to find DOT Codes, we decided to purchase new american made tires while on the road.
After sourcing the tires here near the beach in Delaware, I called etrailer and wound Talking to Tommy C. On Monday morning I ordered the four rims 4 center caps and 24 Lug nuts, and on WED.(!!!Missouri to Delaware in less than 48hours) they were at the tire dealers and ready to have the tires mounted on them. Friday on our way to the next stop we stop by the tire dealer, get the closest thing to a Pit-stop off with the old - on with the new, and up the road. Excellent Products with Outstanding Service!!!!



by:

The wheels arrived in a timely manner. Opened one box to check wheel and found scraches on outside rim, the other wheel had a protective rubber/plastic cover to protect it. Checked other box and one had protection while the other didn't. Both wheels need protection on the outside rim.



by:

Bought these for a boat trailer that I completely rebuilt (many parts from etrailer.com, including these).

I've been extremely happy with them. They've been in-and-out of salt water a few times, I make sure to rinse them down well (with salt away products) after each time, the before vs. after pics tell the rest of the story. They really dress up a boat on the trailer.



by:

Wheel looks awesome. I am getting a tire mounted on it next week. It was delivered a day early. Packing was excellent. I didn't realize the wheel came with a valve stem.....which I order...so now I have a spare.

Very Happy, I would order again from Etrailer.



by:

Fue un servicio excelente y muy profesional

[service
was excellent and very professional]



by:

Wheels were safely packaged and came promptly. Appear to be good quality and no visable blemishes.

Travel Trailer now looks more modern over the original painted grey steel wheels.

Great value for the price.



by:

Wheel was received promptly two days after my order. This wheel is the exact match to those used on a Columbus 5th wheel. Made a rookie mistake and ruined my original wheel and tire on a curb. Couldn't find this anywhere. Called my RV dealer and they could order from factory with a few week turn around. When I told him I had found it on etrailer and what it cost he advised me to take that route for speed and savings! etrailer.com to the rescue! Thanks for being there!



by:

First off I want to start by saying that I'm a hard person to please. I was looking for a quick replacement of a rim for my 35 ft light by open range travel trailer that's in excellent condition. This place made it very quick,easy and affordable. I'm very happy and will continue to do business with them. Thanks again for your support and help.



by:

Very fast shipping ...order on a Wednesday and they shipped within 1.5 hrs and I received the wheels on Friday in perfect condition and they made a great addition to my Nitro boat and trailer.



by:

One wheel was scratched, but not enough to do a return. This is why I’m giving it 4 stars. Shipping was fast. Haven’t mounted the rims so I can say how they roll but all that should be fine. I’m comfortable with my purchase.



by:

I test fit the wheel before having a tire mounted. My impact socket will not fit into the wheel to remove/install the lugnuts. I’m guessing a thin-wall socket is required to install the wheels onto the hub. I have a socket ordered. Instead of ordering more of these wheels, I’m looking into upgrading from 16” wheels to 19.5” wheels.

I also would prefer to buy a wheel not made in China.



by:

very helpful over the phone and rim arrived a day early



by:

Exact match!! Fast delivery!!



by:

Very nice looking wheel that enhances the look of my little camper. And thank you etrailer for the fast delivery and handling of my order. You guys are great.



by:

Order this wheel a least six times , order accepted, than 2 hrs later it was declined. A problem with my address, than I ordered direct on the phone 2 days later the order again was declined, they said my card had been used internationally. Tried to order from an other vender, no luck so I tried again, but this time the black bearcat rim was not available, so I ordered the grey one, order went through no problem. It was an adventure.



by:

I have owned my RV since 2017 which came with 15" Bearcat rims. In 2020 I upgraded the suspension on my RV which included replacing the Bearcat rims with 16" rims. I am very pleased with the performance of these rims.



by:

This product shipped and showed up earlier than expected. That's awesome. I was able to get the rim mounted to the trailer tire I already had without issues. It's already installed on my trailer. Thank you etrailer! It matches the other rims perfectly.



by:

Great value and awesome looking wheels. Used these to replace my 14 inch similar trailer wheels.

  • Firestone Air Bag Kit that Fits 2024 Toyota Tundra with 1 inch Spacer

  • Recommended Air Bags for a 2024 Toyota Tundra w/ an In Bed Hitch
    Those will not but I have a set that does! For a set of air bags that fit your 2024 Toyota Tundra and are compatible with a 5th wheel hitch you will want the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs item # F89VV. These have a 5,000 lbs load leveling capacity that will keep your rear end from sagging when you're towing your 5th wheel trailer. I recommend adding the Air Command Compressor System item # F2610. This onboard compressor will allow you to adjust the PSI in your air bags individually...

  • Can I Install Air Bags On A 2023 Toyota Tundra With A 1" Spacer On Top Of The Coil
    You can certainly still install an air bag kit on your 2023 Toyota Tundra with a 1" coil spacer. If the lift adds distance between the axle and the frame, you can use the spacer kit # F2536 with the # F89VV Air bag Kit to compensate for the lift. If the your lift kit does not effect the distance between the frame and the axle, you can install the Air bag kit # F89VV as-is, and you will not need any spacer.

  • Spacers Required For a 2023 Toyota Tundra with 3" TRD Suspension Lift
    You will need the 2" Lift Spacers # F2366 to install the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Bag Helper Springs # F89VV on your 2023 Toyota Tundra with the 3" TRD lift kit. This lift provides 3" of front lift and 2" of rear lift so the 2" spacers ensure you do not stretch and damage the springs. I recommend pairing the air bags with the Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System # AL74000. This is my favorite system as it has a smart manifold which will monitor the air pressure in each spring while you...

  • 2024 Toyota Tundra Timbren Suspension Alternative for Softer Ride Quality
    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...
