Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs Installation - 2018 Ford F-150- Video
Hi there Ford owners. Today on our 2018 Ford F-150, we're going to be installing Firestone's Ride Rite Air Helper Springs. Air bags is the solution that'll solve issues with hauling heavy loads or trailers behind your vehicle that causes the backend to sag down. The air bags will help lift the rear of your vehicle back up, returning it to its normal ride height.There's a lot of benefits to having it at the normal ride height. When your vehicles sag down in the back, it causes the front to point upwards, which makes your headlights point towards the sky, reducing visibility when driving at night. Additionally, when you have your geometry set like this, your suspension is not acting as it was originally intended to, this can cause increased tire wear and reduced handling performance.When you brake, your weight wants to shift towards the front, and having the weight leaning back towards like this will cause that weight to not shift properly and it will increase the stopping distance required to stop your vehicle. more

Speaker 1: Today on our 2017 Ford F-250 Super Duty, we're gonna be installing TorkLift's StableLoad Rear Suspension Upgrade, part number TLA7311.These suspension stabilizers work in conjunction with your existing overload springs. Your overload spring is normally designed to provide extra carrying capacity once your vehicle has been loaded up, and your spring comes in contact with that overload spring.We're not gonna get that benefit immediately, so to help reduce that backend sag, we're gonna get that body roll and breaking performance back that we we're losing before because of our suspension alignment change.Having your overloads ring engaged all the time will help stiffen up your rear suspension. This'll help improve handling, because you won't have as much body roll. It'll also help your braking performance, because you're gonna have a more stable rear end, so you're not gonna have so much sag in the back. So when you stop, and you have a heavy load, you're gonna be more in line, and the weight can be properly transferred onto your front tires to have a good stop. 'Cause most of your stopping's done by your front brakes.When going over bumps and potholes, you won't feel those as much, and you won't get so much oscillation between the front and back. more

SumoSprings Maxim Rear Helper Springs Installation - 2012 Ford F-53- Video
Speaker 1: Today on our 2012 Ford F-53 Chassis, we're installing SumoSprings Maxim Custom Helper Springs for the rear axle, part number SSR-180-54-1. This is what our springs are going to look like when they're installed. They're going to provide constant point of contact between your leaf spring and the side of your frame, so you'll have benefits for your SumoSprings throughout the entire suspension travel from fully extended to fully retracted. These springs can compress up to 80%, can provide varying amounts of load leveling carrying capacity. You'll have one on each side, so if you have an uneven load, you'll have one spring applying more pressure than the other to help balance that out. Additionally, it will help increase the smoothness of your ride, because you're going to have a proportional amount of spring tension the more it's compressed.It'll also help reduce sway, so if you're hitting any uneven pavement, these will help absorb some of that road shock and minimize the amount of sway you'd have and when wind is hitting up against the side of your motor home, these will also help working in conjunction with one another to help minimize that sway. more

SumoSprings Rebel Front Axle Helper Springs Installation - 2012 Ford F-53- Video
Speaker 1: Today on our 2012 F-53 chassis we're going to be installing SumoSprings Rebel custom helper springs for the front axle, part number SSF-170-40-2. We've currently got our suspension completely suspended so you can see what our springs I'll look like. When you go over large bumps, they will be able to separate and they'll come right back together. The alignment pin here in the center will line right back up with the one above it.These jounce bumpers are going to provide additional cushion in the front of the your vehicle, giving you a smoother ride. They're additionally going to act as load leveling, so if you have a slightly uneven weight inside your vehicle, the SumoSprings will help work with one another to level your vehicle back out and maintain a more stable ride. Additionally, when you hit any potholes, it's going to absorb some of that impact so it'll help reduce driver fatigue when going down the road. more

SumoSprings Maxim Rear Helper Springs Installation - 2018 Ford F-53 SSR-187-40-1- Video
Speaker 1: Today on 2018 Ford F53 chassis, we're going to be installing SumoSprings maximum comfort helper springs for the rear axle. Part #SSR-187-40-1.This is what our spring's going to look like when it's installed. It's going to mount between the upper bracket connected to the frame and the lower bracket connected to our leaf spring.So, when going over potholes or uneven terrain, it's going to absorb some of that shock, so it won't transfer into the body giving you an overall smoother ride.Additionally, when you load down your vehicle, this is going to help provide some cushion and help keep your vehicle at it's factory ride height, when loaded down.This is going to help keep your suspension at the correct geometry, since it's closer to the factory ride height. So, even while loaded down, you're not going to get as bad of tire wear as you we're before. Helping increase the life of your tires and your suspension components.Before we install our SumoSprings, we'll take our motor home out on our test course and we'll see how it drives now.I can already tell when turning even slightly, the motor home wants to rock to the right. As we go over the bumps, it really starts to sway back and forth. more

SumoSprings Rebel Front Axle Helper Springs Installation - 2018 Ford F-53- Video
Speaker 1: Today on our 2018 Ford F-53 chassis, we're going to be installing SumoSprings Rebel custom helper springs for the front axle, part number SSF-170-40-2. Once you lower your vehicle back down and load up the suspension, the two will come together and this nipple will go inside of this cavity here, and they'll collapse together. This'll provide an extra layer of cushion between your suspension and your frame, and that'll help take some of the load off of your suspension parts, increasing the lifespan of your suspension components.This additional dampening force here in the front will help give you a smoother ride by absorbing some of the impacts from the road, from potholes and other uneven terrain. What this means for you is that it's going to help lower driver fatigue because you're not going to have so much shock transfer up into the steering wheel. Additionally, when you have your vehicle loaded down, this is also going to help maintain factory ride height. It's going to provide some additional force between the frame and the suspension, keep it from sagging too low. more

What they do is they work independently, but they work together. more

Speaker 1: Today on our 2017 Ford F150, we're going to be taking a look at and showing you how to install the Airlift right control air helper spring for the rear axle, part number AL59570.Whether you're towing a heavy trailer or your truck's under constant load like ours is with all the toolboxes, ladder racks, not to mention all the other equipment we've put in, you will notice that the back end is going to sag down a little bit and the ride's just not that comfortable. Not to mention, it's going to put a lot of strain on our rear suspension and it's actually going to lift up the front just a bit, which will misalign our headlights and not give us as good a traction on the front tires.Our airbags are going to help support that load and that weight and put our suspension back where it should be. Before we install them, let's take it out for a drive and see how it handles. As I drive my truck over the speed bumps, I can definitely tell you, I can feel it resonating through the seat and it just feels a lot harsher than it normally does, especially with all our toolboxes and equipment in the back.As I come up to the slalom course and I'm going around the turns, it definitely wants to lean extremely hard before it actually starts turning. Since one of my toolboxes has more stuff in it than the other, some turns are a little worse than the others.Here's what our right control air springs are going to look like once we have them installed. These are going to give us that extra support that we need whenever we're hauling a heavy load, or pulling a heavy trailer. more

Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Rear Air Helper Springs Installation - 2017 Ford F-250 Super Duty- Video
Speaker 1: Today on our 2017 Ford F250 Super Duty, we're going to be installing Airlift's Lift Loader 5,000 air helper springs, part number AL57399. WE've now got our vehicle loaded up with an excessive amount of weight, dropping down our suspension. We're measuring now about 41-1/4 inches. So we're down almost 3-3/4 inches from our factory ride height. And when we come to the front and recheck our measurements, our front is raised up to 42 inches from the factory ride height of 41-1/2.So now that our vehicle's loaded down, and it's changed our ride height, what this means to you is that you're going to have reduced braking power because the weight's not going to transfer to the front as it did in its factory ride height. You're going to have reduced handling performance, because your suspension angles are now different than what they were, due to the ride height change. more

We can go around the country seeing places we haven't been before, or take a vacation with our family, but there's one thing that nobody seems to talk about. When we first get our RV the ride is going to be very uncomfortable. It may seem a little bit unstable. Whether we're driving down the highway, and we catch a large cross-wind, and let's face it, we're driving a large box on wheels that's going to catch a lot of air. Or we're simply just going around a corner, and the body's going to lean and roll quite a bit. more

Speaker 1: Today on our 2015 Ford F53 chassis motor home we're gonna be taking a look at and showing you how to install the SumoSprings Maxim Custom Helper Springs for the rear axle. Part number SSR-187-54-1. And these are going to provide up to 5400 pounds of support giving us a lot better of a ride, cushioning all the bumps and uneven roads.The springs themselves are going to work independently from each other, which will help with those off center loads or for going down a lot of uneven terrain. Now our spring, you're going to be able to compress up to 80% giving us that support, but in the time when we're not loaded they can expand up to 50%. So they're gonna give us that comfort and support whether we're loaded or unloaded. But the nice thing about the design of the spring is when they do compress it has very minimal expansion going outwards. more

Speaker 1: Today on our 2012 Ford F-250 Super Duty, we're going to be taking a look at, and showing you how to install, the AirLift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Plus Air Springs with Internal Bumpers, part number AL89396.What these are going to do for you, is when you're hauling a fifth wheel, gooseneck, heavy load in the back of the truck, and the back of your vehicle sags; what these are going to do, is these are going to allow you to raise your vehicle back up to factory ride height. It's much safer when you're traveling, or towing something.Another great thing about these, is you can air these up individually. So that if you have a load that is off-centered, or is weighted more on one side, you can air up one bag a little bit more than the other to bring your vehicle back to level.One thing I really like about these air bags, is even though they replace your factory bump-stops, they're going to have internal bumpers. They're going to help provide that adjustable load support of the air springs and give you the reliability of the jounce springs, so they're going to give you the best of both worlds there.And our bags are going to be constructed of a 2-ply fabric reinforced rubber, so they're going to be really durable, and last long time.This is what our fittings look like installed on our bumper. It's completely up to you where you install them. This is where I chose to install them. more

These SumoSprings are gonna increase ride quality by making it softer when going over bumps. They're also gonna help reduce sway on uneven pavement by leveling out that load, and also keeping it more level under a heavier load. It'll help distribute that weight evenly between one side and the other. As the spring compresses, it'll dynamically push back, helping push that weight onto the other side.What this means to you is it's gonna help reduce driver fatigue, because when you're going down the road hitting those bumps, it's not gonna cause that steering to go veering in one direction as hard as it used to. It's gonna help make it easier for you to keep it going in a straight line. more

As you load up your RV with various gear and people, the springs will help keep it level and distribute the weight evenly across the RV.This is nice when you're going down the road, because any cross winds that would cause your vehicle to sway get absorbed into these, making it much less than it used to be. The dampening effect will help reduce driver fatigue in case you hit any potholes or uneven road surfaces. It will compress, absorb that load and make steering effort less than what it was to keep the vehicle straight. more

Speaker 1: Today in our 2017 Ford F-150, we're going to be taking a look at and showing you how to install the SuperSprings Custom Suspension Stabilizer and Sway Control Kit, part number SSA28.Here's what our SuperSprings are going to look like once we have 'em installed. Now, these are going to give us the support we need whenever we're hauling a heavy load or towing a heavy trailer. Typically, whenever we're hauling something extremely heavy, our suspension wants to flex a lot and our back end sags down. Well, these are going to provide us the extra support by activating whenever our suspension flexes. The rollers on the end of our leaf spring are going to activate our helper spring and provide us that extra support, but also still giving us a nice ride when we're not towing something heavy because it's going to deactivate those springs and still have a nice, comfortable ride.Since they're attached to the front and back of our factory leaf springs, it's also going to act like a sway bar and it's going to prevent our leaf springs from twisting, giving us a lot more stability when we're driving down the road. The multiple notches in the end here are going to provide us with a little bit of customization. more

Firestone Ride-Rite Rear Air Helper Springs Installation - 2017 Ford E-Series Cutaway- Video
Speaker 1: Today on our 2017 Ford E-Series Cutaway, we're going to be installing Firestone's Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs, part number F2458.These air bags are going to help you restore your ride height under a heavy load. They're also going to provide you some additional cushioning, making your ride a little bit smoother. When your vehicle's ride height is set back to its factory even height, that'll also increase your braking performance as 70% of your braking is done by your front brakes, this will allow that weight distribution to act normally.It can be adjusted from 5-100 PSI as desired. If your vehicle's unloaded, set it to 5 PSI, and that will help maintain proper operation of your air bags. You never want to run them fully empty, and you can go up to 100 PSI, which gives you your maximum load support.The big advantage of having air bags over your typical bump stock upgrades, is that it's going to allow further adjustment. You're going to be able to adjust left to right, so in your RV if you've got a couch on one side and not so much on the other side, or you've got your sink, and your stove on one side, if your weight's uneven this is going to allow you to level it out, bringing back any steering and braking performance that you we're losing, and also help to reduce sway.We'll begin by doing some preparation. more
