asked by: Douglas M
Expert Reply:
On The Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Double Convoluted - Rear Axle # F2598, the more weight you apply to it the more air they will lose but that gradually takes time, it is not a significant amount, and no matter what the jounce spring in the air bag will always give it support. The more common time your airbag may lose air is when the temperature gets cooler
The Air Command Compressor System w/ Light Duty Compressor - Wireless - Smartphone Enabled - Single Path # F2610 will allow you to adjust your air springs remotely using your smartphone, and will help with the air loss due to the heavy load on your vehicle. An air compressor's main function is to convert electric power into pressurized air. When air is compressed, it becomes stronger, making it useful for different applications. In an air compressor, the air is stored under pressure.
