Ride-Rite air helper springs can be installed on most light trucks, RV's and vans. Ride-Rite air helper springs are installed between the frame of the vehicle and the suspension, providing load support through the use of air pressure.

Firestone has made a commitment to provide the customer with the best air helper spring kits in the industry. Ride-Rite has become synonymous with quality, durability and with customer support truely second to none.

Ride-Rite / Sport-Rite air helper springs use a pair of convoluted or tapered style air springs. These air springs are capable of *3,000-5,000 lb. of load carrying capacity per set. It is extremely important to remember that the air helper springs do not increase a vehicle's carrying capacity. Although the air springs are capable of lifting a great deal of weight they are intended to maximize the vehicle's load capabilities within the recommended Gross Vehicle Weight Rating.
* Do NOT exceed the vehicle's recommended Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)


Ride-Rite air helper springs will:

  • Keep the vehicle front end down - improve steering control, level headlight beams and improve tire wear.
  • Level off-center loads - individual inflation valves allow for adjustment side-to-side and front-to-rear.
  • Reduce suspension fatigue - keep leaf springs from sagging under repeated or constant load.
  • Air adjustment improves the ride - allowing the air springs to be matched to the load.
  • Reduce bottoming out - protective air cushion softens contact between the axle and frame.
  • Increase vehicle stability - absorbing road shock, providing ideal ride conditions for passengers and load.
 
Basic Kit:
Everything is included for a quick installation. Brackets, air springs, hardware and inflation valves for manual inflation. Average installation time is approximately 1-2 hours.
 
Control Kit:
Ride-Rite control kits provide instant ride control within the cab of the vehicle. They allow quick inflation and deflation for various road and load conditions.
