Expert Reply:

You can inflate the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Rear Kit, # F2286, using an air compressor like some people have at home or that can be found at service stations. I recommend the Firestone Level Command II - Single-Gauge with Standard-Duty Compressor - Single Function, # F2158. You can control inflation/deflation from the comfort of your vehicle cab with the push of a button. I have included a link below to the installation details.

Answer 7

It sounds like the purpose of getting the air helper spring would be to counteract the 1 inch compression you're getting in your rear suspension caused by the pin weight of your 5th wheel. If that's the case, I believe that the AirLift 5000…
