Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs Installation - 2013 Toyota Tundra- Video
Today on our 2013, Toyota Tundra, we'll be installing the Firestone Ride Rite Air Helper Springs, part number F2445. First, before we install our new air helper springs, we're going to go ahead and take a manufacturer's right height measurement. From the edge of the wheel well to the ground is 39 1/2 inches. Now we'll go ahead and add approximately 1600 pounds of weight to the bed of our pick up, which lowers our ride height to 36 inches. As we go through out slalom course, you notice the body roll from the amount of weight in the bed of the pick up and our steering is less responsive with our ride height and weight distribution being off. Next, we'll go over our bumps course, where you'll notice there's a minimal amount of clearance between the bump stop and the frame. Next, we'll go ahead and repeat the same process with the Firestone Ride Rite Air Helper Springs installed and aired up to approximately 60 psi. With the 1600 pounds of weight in the bed of the pickup and air installed into the air bags, it will bring our ride height back up to 39 and a half inches. more
