Firestone Ride-Rite Rear Air Helper Springs Installation - 2005 Ford Excursion- Video
Today on this 2005 Ford Excursion, we're going to review and install the Firestone Ride Right Air Helper Springs, part number F2251. This is what the airbags look like when they're installed, in this case we're looking at a driver's side, and with the kit you get the brackets that bolt to the side of the frame that use existing holes. Below our air spring has brackets that attach to the axle and spring pack and all the hardware is included for it as well. On top you can see your air line fitting and our air line that comes with the kit and runs towards the back of our vehicle. At the end, there's a bracket that's optional if you want to use it or not, simple little device, that goes onto the bottom edge of your hitch or top edge, whatever you'd like, and you've got your air valves connected to it, left and right side. A few good reasons to have airbags put onto your excursion, or any truck for that matter is that for different loads that you're carrying, for example, in this case here we're using a cargo carrier with a load in the back, and you don't want anything on the inside for your vehicle, and it brings it down somewhat. The airbags, of course, bring the truck back up to level and it handles better. This cargo carrier could also be a motorcycle carrier, maxing out the tongue weight of the hitch as well. more
