Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs Installation - 2018 Toyota RAV4- Video

Rob: Rob, here at etrailer.com. And today, we're going to be taking a look at the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs for the rear axle on our 2018 Toyota RAV4.Now, whether you're towing a boat trailer, jet ski trailer or maybe you just have a car full of gear, or you have a cargo carrier on the back of your RAV4 carrying a lot of gear, we get a lot of weight added to the back and the back end starts to sag down. Now, this is going to do a couple different things. Our ride quality is going to suffer because our suspension is not having as much travel, which means, potentially, we could start bottoming out, just a really uncomfortable ride. Not to mention, all the strain and stress that it puts on the rear suspension, eventually wearing things out.And then, here in the front, the front is actually going to start stretching upwards because it's going to cause a teetering effect, all the weight on the back of our RAV4. So, our tires aren't going to have as much contact with the ground, which means our steering and braking is going to be diminished. more
