Firestone Ride-Rite Rear Air Helper Springs Installation - 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 3500- Video

So today on our 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 3500, we're going to be installing Firestone's Ride-Rite RED Label Extreme Duty air helper springs for the rear axle. It's a double-convoluted design, which has a higher burst pressure than your traditional design. The airbags sit between the frame and your axle to help provide load-leveling support. What's nice about airbags that sets them apart from other suspension enhancements such as Timbrens is the fact that it's adjustable. You can increase or decrease the pressure depending on the load you have to get the most optimal ride and braking and handling performance.There is some maintenance required. Air pressures will fluctuate with humidity and temperature, so you may have to adjust your airbags from time to time if you don't load very often to maintain the pressure.It's a no-drill installation. more

Timbren Rear Suspension System Installation - 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 3500- Video

Today on your 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 3500, we're going to be installing timbren rear suspension enhancement system. And this is what our Timbrens is like when they're installed, they just replace our factory jounce bumper, but they're much more robust looking. To continue, they don't contact when the vehicle is unloaded, but it will contact right away once you put a little bit of load on it. The spring itself is designed to compress and the more it compresses, the stronger it gets providing more and more support.If you have a small load in the back to where it just barely touches, you're going to get some minimal support. It's just going to help smooth out your ride, reduce some sway and just be an overall more enjoyable experience. When you put down a large load, the springs going to really compress and start to swell. more

Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs Installation - 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 3500- Video

Today on our 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 3500, we're going to take a look at and also show you how to install the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs made for the rear axle. This part number is F2528. Anytime we're getting a lot of weight in the back end of our vehicle, whether it's from let's say a salt-spreader, maybe your fifth wheel or your gooseneck, as we get that sag in the rear end, not only does our rear end come down, but that front starts to angle upward. In the rear, we're going to have excessive friction building up in our leaf springs. Also with that heavy load in, those jounce bumpers are going to be hitting and making contact with the stop, which is going to cause for a rough ride. In the front, once that angle comes up, we're changing steering geometry, so our braking, our stability, our handling aren't going to be nearly as well, and we're also going to increase tire wear. Another side effect will be that our headlights are tilted upward, causing us to not be able to see the road as well as we should. Here's what your airbag kit is going to look like installed. more
