Firestone Airide makes light work of heavy loads. Their Airide Helper Springs (Ride-Rite) provide more level loads, a more comfortable ride, and less bottoming out when hauling heavy loads. Firestone air helper solutions offer the broadest vehicle fit and a simple no-mods, no-fuss installation.

Firestone Air Bags & Air Spring Kits

In 1938 Firestone Industrial Products debuted the Airide Air Spring and revolutionized air suspension. In the decades since then, Firestone has continued to develop air springs for a variety of applications. You can haul with comfort, confidence, and control in your Ford F-Series Super Duty, Dodge Ram, or Chevrolet Silverado/GMC Sierra pickup.

Firestone offers products such as On-Board Air Systems and Air Spring Spacers that are universal in design and provide products that are engineered specifically for your vehicle to ensure proper fitment. Firestone's Ride-Rite and Coil-Rite Air Bag Helper Springs provide vehicle load support with air pressure that can be adjusted based on your changing needs. Dedication to durability, reliability, and attention to detail ensures every Firestone product meets their strict standards of quality.

Air Bag Helper Springs Kits

Most of the Air Bag Helpers springs offered by Firestone are installed between the frame and suspension of your vehicle and reduce inter-leaf friction. Firestone constructs their Helper Springs with high-quality materials to ensure long service life even in the toughest conditions. The Ride-Rite Wireless All-In-One Helper Spring Kits are an all-encompassing kit that bundles a Rite-Rite Air Helper Spring Kit and Air Compress Kit for the complete leveling package. The Red Label Extreme Duty Air Springs are available for most 3/4, and 1-ton applications and can handle up to 7,500lbs of towing capacity with up to 150 PSI Max Air Pressure.

One of the most popular kits from Firestone is the Rite-Rite Air Bag Helper Springs that are available for most 1/2, 3/4, and 1-ton trucks. These airbags can handle up to a 5,000lbs capacity with the ability to hold up to 100 PSI Max Air Pressure. The Coil-Rite Air Bag Helper Springs are offered for most light trucks, SUVs, and RVs with up to 2,000lbs Capacity and are available for both front and rear applications. Unlike the Air Bag Helpers springs that are installed between the frame and suspension, the Coil-Rite Helper Springs fit inside your existing coil springs. The Red Label Extreme, Rite-Rite, and Coil-Rite Helper Springs help to eliminate trailer sway, squatting, and bottoming out to help make towing safer and more comfortable.

On-Board Air System (Air Bag Helper Springs)

Firestone offers a wide array of Air Compressor Kits that allow for easy air pressure adjustment via wireless or analog control. The compressors are offered for Standard, Heavy Duty, or Extreme duty and come in dual or single-path options. A Single Leveling system always controls equal pressure on both sides while a dual Leveling system allows for side-to-side pressure control.

The Standard Duty Air Compressor is ideal for moderate usage, including towing boats, trailers 20’ or smaller, and medium-sized payloads. The Heavy Duty Air Compressors are perfect for everyday use in 8-lug trucks with trailers larger than 20’, slide-in campers, and heavy loads. The Extreme Duty Air Compressor includes a 2-gallon air tank and 25’ air hose and is best utilized for constant usage, plus off-road tire or truck tire inflation.

Firestone offers three different ways to control the On-Board Air System for your Air Bag Helper Springs. An Analog setup controls the air pressure by a flip of the switch with a pressure gauge that is generally mounted in the cab of your vehicle. The Wireless App allows you to control the air pressure with a free downloadable app via Bluetooth on your compatible smartphone. A smartphone is not included. The Wireless Remote allows you to control the air pressure with a Bluetooth remote control powered by a lithium-ion battery that is rechargeable with a USB-C connection.

Air Springs Spacers
