Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs Installation - 2002 Ford Excursion- Video
Speaker 1: Today on our 2002 Ford Excursion, we're gonna be taking a look at and installing the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs, part number: F2255. As we take our vehicle on our test course, you can see that it's going over our speed bumps here; it's a much rougher ride. Now, if we go down farther we get to our slalom course. As I'm making the turns it really doesn't feel as stable as I would like it to, and it just generally feels like I am hauling something extremely heavy in the back.We're gonna take our vehicle back through our test course over the bumps, and I can immediately tell you it's a much softer ride, and it just feels like I have a lot more control. Now, if I go down to the slalom part of the course, I can tell you immediately, the truck just feels like it wants to go faster and I have much more control, and I feel the steering much more responsive. As you can see here if look at both of them, the factory settings, you can see much more travel on the axle, whereas one with the air bags, it's gonna cushion that a little bit and give us a little bit more of a smoother ride. more
