About Firestone Ride-Rite Air Springs

Firestone’s Ride-Rite series is the brand’s most trusted and widely used line of air helper springs. Each application is engineered to enhance load‑carrying capacity, stability, and ride comfort by using adjustable air pressure tailored to changing cargo needs.

The system reduces inter-leaf friction for a smoother ride and includes independent inflation valves, allowing customizable front-to-rear and side-to-side adjustments.

Most Ride-Rite kits use factory holes for mounting when possible, but this particular application requires drilling. Installation typically takes 1–2 hours and includes all necessary components. Each kit is backed by a two‑year limited warranty.

Firestone has been a leader in air‑based suspension technology for over 70 years, starting with automotive and bus applications in the 1950s. Their continued innovation in materials, engineering, and design ensures superior ride quality and dependable load support for a wide range of vehicles.
