Hey, everybody, Ryan here at etrailer. Today on our 2022 GMC Sierra 2500, we're gonna be showing you how to install the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs over the rear axle, but before we get into that, let's take a minute, check these out and make sure they're gonna work for you. So what an airbag is going to do is provide your truck with additional support here in the back. And whenever you're hooked up to a real heavy trailer or got a bunch of weight in the bed of your truck, what tends to happen is a truck squats down and kind of gives you a poor ride. It's not ideal to drive around like that.

Hey guys, it's Jake here with etrailer. Today we have a 2020 Ford F-150, and we're gonna be taking a look at and I'm gonna show you how to install the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs. What air helper springs are designed to do is provide support in the rear end of your truck when you're hauling either a heavy load in the bed, or from the hitch on the back.

This is designed to bring it back up to where the truck is level.

Hey guys, it's Jake here with etrailer. Today, we have a 2023 Chevy Silverado 3500, and we're gonna be taking a look at and I'm gonna show you how to install the Firestone Ride-Rite Airbags. There's a lot of different reasons why you might be wanting to add a set of airbags to your truck. The specific reason we have here is our driver here is a hotshot driver, which means he just delivers small LTL loads for different companies and stuff. So he's pulling a 50-foot gooseneck trailer and he needs support in the rear end of his truck. The factory suspension, even though this is a 3500, they do come pretty stiff, but once you get closer to that max capacity to the truck, the back end of the truck starts to sag pretty good. more

Hello neighbors, it's Brad here at etrailer, and today we're taking a look at installing the SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs on a 2013 Fleetwood Bounder Classic. Adding these to your front suspension is going to add a lot of added benefits, not just supporting weight, but also it's gonna allow for sway to be reduced, and it's gonna get a little bit more planted of a feel as you drive, meaning you're gonna get more steering feedback and it's gonna just have a little bit quicker steering response, and overall, it's gonna be a little bit more comfortable because this is gonna absorb a lot of that shock. Your factory jounce bumpers are pretty short. So for that to actually make contact, it takes quite a bit of pretty heavy hits on the road for that to even do anything where these engage pretty quickly. And that's the great part too is this two piece design allows for this to really open up. So your suspension is still able to move quite a bit without limiting the travel, but you get all the added benefit of that cushioning as well as the weight support. more

Now as I mentioned, these are custom fit springs that are designed to fit your 2010 and newer RAM 2500 and 3500 four wheel drives and then your 3500 cabin chassis four wheel drive and then your 1994 to 2014 Dodge RAM 2500s and 3500s and then the 3500 cab and chassis. Now to confirm that these springs are going to work for you please take advantage of our vehicle fit guide here at etrailer.com, input the year make and model of your vehicle and our fit guide will let you know if these springs will work for you or if we have something comparable that will work for you. Now, as you no doubt know a heavy front load can cause front end sag as your factory suspension compresses under the weight of the load. So what this means is that the front axle is trying to support not only the extra load, but also the weight of your vehicle. And because there is less weight on your rear axle your rear tires make less contact with the road which causes problems with traction, steering and braking. more

Review of RAS Vehicle Suspension - Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit - RAS4521-ST- Video
Hi, everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com, and today, we're gonna take a look at this RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit. Now, this is a custom fit kit that is designed to fit the 1986 to 1995 Toyota pickups, and then your 1993 to 1998 Toyota T100 pickups, and then the 1995 to 1997 Toyota Tacoma, and then finally, the 1998 to 2004 Toyota Tacoma excluding PreRunner. So to confirm that this kit's gonna work for you, take advantage of our vehicle fit guide here at etrailer.com, input the year, make, and model of your vehicle, and our fit guide will let you know if this will work for you or if we have something comparable that will work for you. Now, as you probably know, when towing or hauling a heavy load, you may encounter a number of problems that can make your driving experience difficult or dangerous, such as sway, body roll, or bottoming out. So when your vehicle is weighted down, your factory leaf springs can't counteract these problems to the extent that they are supposed to. The weight will overpower your leaf springs and cause them to twist or flatten out, and when that happens, they cannot support, level, or stabilize your vehicle effectively. more

Hey guys, it's Jake here with etrailer. Today we have a 2020 Ram 1500 and we're gonna be taking a look at and I'm gonna show you how to install the Timbren SES rear suspension enhancement system. Now, when it comes to rear enhancement suspension systems, you're gonna have a couple of different options. First off, it's gonna be your least aggressive option, which will be like a set of Sumo Springs. They're essentially going to be a softer foam like Timbren or a jounce-style bumper. Next up is going to be your Timbrens, which is a more aggressive version of a jounce bumper made out of a harder rubber, designed to support heavier loads. more

Air Lift Loadlifter on a 5000 Air Helper Springs Installation - 2018 GMC Sierra 2500- Video
Hey guys, this is Jake here with etrailer.com. Today we have a 2018 GMC Sierra 2500 and we're gonna be taking a look at and I'm gonna show you how to install the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 airbags. A prime example of why you should get a set of airbags is right behind us. We have a truck here that tows a fifth-wheel camper and the pin weight on it is about 2,000 pounds. That is a lot of weight pushing down on the bed of this truck. So adding a set of airbags, they will sit in between the axle of your truck in the frame and they're designed to take some of the weight so that your vehicle suspension doesn't have to do all the work. more

Hello neighbors, it's Brad here at etrailer, and today, we're taking a look and installing these SumoSprings Front helper springs for coil suspension on the front axle of a 2019 Winnebago Travato. Now, the ProMaster 3500s, you see a lot of times, as work vans or delivery vans, but you can see here, we have it in the van life configuration. And so, either way, you're gonna have weight associated with it, and that really means that this already fairly tall vehicle just feels a little bit more top heavy. And as far as steering, it's kind of numb from the factory, and adding weight's just gonna make it that much worse. So, adding these is not only going to just fill the void in the spring, and really help supplement it, it's gonna just give you that better overall handling, and just better steering feel throughout, not only just parking lots, but out on the highway, and that's kind of a great thing to have, and especially in something like this. It's kind of a big sail out on the highway, so if you can kind of reduce some of that sway side to side, it's gonna be a great addition, and you're really gonna notice it every time you drive. more
