Do the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs Require Drilling to Install?
Question:
I have a 2011 ram 3500 cab and chassis, do I need to drill holes in my chassis to install this kit? Also do I need to remove my wheels to install this kit or can I just jack up the truck?

In order to install the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2478 you are going to be required to remove the rear wheels and rest the axle on jack stands. When it comes to drilling, you will be required to do some drilling into the vehicle frame to install these airbags. I have included a picture of the part of the instructions where it shows where drilling is likely going to be necessary. You'll also likely need to do some cutting or drilling to install the air valves on your bumper.
