Nut Needed For Top Bracket Mounting Bolt On Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Air Helper Springs # F2709

Question:

Hi. I have a set of Firestone riderites on my 2015 Silverado 2500hd. They have been on the truck since 2015. The top of the passenger side bag shifted to the inside of the upper bracket while towing my 5th wheel this week. There appears to be a single bolt in the center of of the bag that keeps the bag aligned. There isn’t a nut on the bolt and it appears to have come off. Do you guys offer parts for the system? Thank you

Hey Stuart,

If you have the Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs # F2709 then the bolt you're referring to should have a 3/4" internal tooth lock washer, 3/4"-16 nut, and air fitting # F3046-1. You should be able to get the washer and nut from your local hardware store. There's also an alignment pin that's just a metal stud and will slot into the middle hole in the top mounting bracket for the air spring.
