Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs Installation - 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 2500- Video

Speaker 1: Today on our 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 2500, we're going to be taking a look at and also showing you how to install the Firestone Ride Right Double Convoluted Air Helper Springs for the rear axle, part number is F2596.Now if you're in the market for a set of airbags for your truck, it's probably because you've got a situation and something like this. Either you're carrying a utility trailer that's often loaded and it's causing vehicle sag, maybe you've got a gooseneck, a fifth wheel, in bed camper, any number of things. Just anytime we're loading down our truck, essentially what you're going to have is vehicle sag.The more of a load that we put on our truck, the more the rear ends sag. And when that happens we're taking the truck out of its normal operating range, we're putting excess weight on the back, that's going to make this rear suspension work a lot harder. When your lead springs have extra work to do, they're going to build up heat, friction, and eventually it's just going to fatigue quicker than what it normally would.Now we know the rear end sags, but we really don't tend to think about the front end very much. And there's a lot of things that happen that can be very detrimental to the ride quality of your truck when that rear end sags. more
