Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Air Helper Springs Installation - 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 3500- Video
Connor: Hey everybody, Connor here today at etrailer.com. We're going to be taking a look at the Firestone Red Label Air Helper Springs here on our 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 3500. So here's what our Air Springs are going to look like when they're installed on our truck, they're going to actually replace the factory jounce bumper here an they're going to bolt on using an upper bracket and a lower bracket. It is a completely bolt-on installation, so we don't have to drill any holes or make any modifications to our truck to be able to install these. So adding airbags to your truck is going to be a great option for anyone who's looking to tow or haul frequently. So basically what this does is, it helps us reduce rear-end sag that's going to be a consequence of putting a lot of weight in our truck bed or carrying a trailer with a heavy tongue.So in regards to suspension enhancements, you have quite a few different options for your truck here, however, I believe airbags, particularly the ones we have installed here, are going to be your best option. more

Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs Installation - 2011 Chevrolet Avalanche- Video
Connor: Hey, everybody. How's it going Connor today here at etrailer.com. We're going to be taking a look at Firestone's Coil-Rite air springs here for our 2011 Chevy Avalanche. As you can see, it's going to be a bag that installs inside of the factory coil springs. Now, essentially how this works is we're going to inflate the air bags to a varying degree of PSI, depending on how much support we need. That is then in turn, going to stretch out and it's going to make this airbag really stiff here, but what that does is, it sort of prevents the coil springs from compressing as much relative to how much air pressure we have in there.Therefore, if we have a bunch of weight in the bag, and we're experiencing some sagging issues here with our coil springs, we can actually stop them from compressing as much with these airbags here. more

The big difference here is that the SumoSpring is significantly larger. So we're going to make contact much sooner than what our factory jounce bumper was as the jounce bumper from the factory is really just designed for when your suspension is bottomed out but this one here is designed to give us support throughout the load as it's being squished. more

Hi there Silverado owners, today in your 2017 Chevrolet Silverado we're going to be taking a look at and showing you how to install SumoSprings Rebel custom helper springs for the rear axle.And this is what our SumoSprings look like when they're installed. They connect between the rear axle and the frame to offer load leveling support throughout the back of your vehicle. What I like about the SumoSprings is that they are designed to work with one another to help minimize sway as well as jauntiness when going down the road, they're designed to compress up to 50% to provide you with a maximum of 5,000 pounds of load leveling support. Now you do want to keep in mind this doesn't increase the amount that you can carry, just how much the SumoSprings will help assist supporting.Before we begin our installation, we're going to go ahead and simulate a heavy load. We've got a water tank here with about 2000 pounds of water weight on it. We've got it on our trailer, hooked up to the back of our vehicle so we know we've got the back loaded down plenty good. more

And this is what our SuperSprings look like when they're installed. They will install above your factory leaf springs and they'll provide additional assistance for your leaf springs, acting just as in another lead spring plate. They perform similarly as an overload spring, but they do offer support pretty much throughout the entire travel. If our vehicle's unloaded, they offer minimal support so it feels very much like a factory ride height, but the more we load our vehicle down, the more this spring is going to work with our factory springs to provide us additional support which will help keep our ride height from dipping as much under a heavy load, and it'll also offer increased sway control during evasive maneuvers and when going over uneven bumps.Our shackle attaches our new spring to the bottom side of our factory springs, and we have a roller here down at the bottom that allows it to move as necessary as our spring flexes. more

Ryan: How's it going Ryan here at eTrailer.com. Today on our 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, we're going to be taking a look at and showing you how to install the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs for the rear axle. Airbags are going to be beneficial whenever we're hauling a heavy trailer or even have a heavy load in the bed of our truck for a couple of different reasons. With the factory suspension, without airbags, with that heavy load in the back, the truck is actually going to sag in the back and that's going to lift the front end up higher, shining our headlights up potentially in other motorists' eyes and not on the ground down where we want them. And since our tires won't be sitting perfectly flat on the ground, those are also going to get worn out faster and we're not going to have such responsive steering and braking as we would whenever we're driving it stock.So what we like to do to get a feel for the improvement that our airbags are going to make is take measurements of the front and back of the truck, the factory suspension, and no weight. Then put weight in it, and then we can compare all of our numbers. more

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

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

Now it's not gonna allow for your factory suspension, especially your shocks, to be able to absorb the bumps as you're driving down the road. They'll be more compressed and they won't be able to have full range of travel to give you a smooth ride. Also, you're gonna find out that as your back end comes down, you're gonna have less weight on the front of your truck because you're not gonna have the steering, the handling, the braking, and the safety that you're looking for. more

Now not only that, but it's going to wear out your brakes faster and potentially, since the back end's dropping down, it's going to bring the front end up which could cause major tire wear or unsafe alignment of your headlights blinding people when you're going down the road.Now the load we have in the back of our bed actually dropped the back end two inches down and it actually raised the front end a half an inch up. Which I can tell you by driving around, I could definitely tell there is a major load in the back and it just didn't really feel as responsive driving around.

Speaker 1: Today, in our 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD, we'll be having a look at, and installing the Firestone Ride Rite Air Helper Springs for the rear axle, part number F2596.Here's what our airbags look like installed. These airbags will assist our vehicle's factory suspension allowing it to do its job properly. These airbags will support up to 5,000 pounds of weight in the bed of our truck, or if we're towing a heavy gooseneck or fifth-wheel trailer with a high pin weight, these will help support the weight of that, as well. These don't give us an additional 5,000 pounds of carrying capacity. These will only maintain our vehicle's ride height and handling characteristics up to 5,000 pounds.These are double convoluted design, giving us a smooth ride. One unique feature about these airbags compared to other airbag systems on the market is the fact that our airbag is crimped inside of this cap here at the top and again on the bottom. more

Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs Installation - 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500- Video
Speaker 1: Today on our 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, we're gonna take a look at, and also show you how to install, the Firestone Ride-Rite Double Convoluted Air Helper Springs for the Rear Axle, part number is: F2430.Here's a look at the air bag from underneath the vehicle. As you can see, as we talked about, we have our frame connection point here, and our axle connection point here. A few other features that are nice is that with the double convoluted-design: we don't need a great deal of space for our airbags to work, and not have to worry about them getting damaged by rubbing up against something. We only really need about a half inch of space all the way around our bag. Another interesting feature of the air bag is gonna be the way they designed their roll crimp here at the top. With this kind of spirals around the rubber, and this will actually allow you to temporarily hang your axle for general maintenance, oil changes, fluid flushes, things like that. more

Best 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Suspension Enhancement Options- Video
Speaker 1: Today we're going to be taking a look at the best suspension enhancement options for your 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. Our jounce-style springs are going to be great for somebody who carries the same load, or has the same camper or whatever it may be, all the time. Now the overload pad is going to be nice for somebody who carries a load every once in a while, but when they're not carrying a load they don't want to affect their ride quality, because we can go right back to factory ride by disengaging our overload springs.Now the air springs are going to be nice for somebody who carries a lot of different loads, maybe pulls a lot of different trailers, because we have full adjustability not only left and right but also the height and support that we get from our air springs. Finally, the lead spring helper springs are going to be nice for somebody who maybe tows a lot, and maybe they have an older vehicle that has a little bit of fatigue in the springs and the backend's just naturally sagging. These will lift them up and also give you the support as you need.Each one of our suspension upgrades is going to essentially do the same thing. It's just a matter of how they do it. more

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
