Improve the Towing and Hauling Ability of Your Ford Super Duty with Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Spring Kits

Firestone’s Ride-Rite Series Air Helper Spring Kits maximize the load carrying capacity, stability, and ride quality of your late-model Ford Super Duty truck. Designed and assembled in the USA, the air springs deliver the same durability and service life as those found on heavy-duty trucks, trailers, and buses. 

Ride-Rite Air Helper Spring Kit
The Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Spring Kit is installed between the vehicle’s frame and suspension. It provides between 3,200 to 5,000 pounds of load support simply by lowering and/or raising the air pressure inside the springs. Additional features include: 

Levels Vehicle—Improves steering control and braking effectiveness, levels headlights to avoid blinding oncoming drivers, and reduces tire wear. 

Levels Loads—Individual inflation valves allow for front-to-rear or side-to-side adjustability to level off-center loads. 

Reduces Suspension Fatigue—Keeps leaf springs from permanent sagging under repeated or constant loads. 

Reduces Bottoming Out—Protective air cushion softens contact between the axle and frame. 

Increases Vehicle Stability—Absorbs road shocks for improved ride for passengers and loads. 

Do-it-Yourself Install—No drilling required, and installation can be performed in 1-2 hours. 

Hitch Compatibility—Works with frame-mount and in-bed (gooseneck) style trailer hitches. 

The Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Spring Kit fits 2017-22 Ford F-250, F-350, and F-450 Super Duty four-wheel drive trucks. The kit comes complete with air springs, mounting brackets, airline, inflation valves, and hardware.
 
Ride-Rite Red Label Air Helper Spring Kit
Firestone’s Ride-Rite Red Label Air Helper Spring Kit is the heavy-duty option for Super Duty drivers. It has all the features and benefits of the other kit but includes commercial strength air bags that can handle up to 150 psi and level loads up to 7,500 pounds. Also included are commercial-grade high-strength steel alloy brackets, grade 8 fasteners, and enhanced surface coatings that protect better against corrosive de-icing agents and salt spray to ensure a longer service life. 

Air Command Systems
Gain the freedom and control of adjusting your Ride-Rite air springs on the fly and from the comfort of the truck’s cab with a Firestone Air Command System. These on-board vehicle air compressors allow you to adjust the air springs to accommodate different loads and road conditions from inside or outside the vehicle. Choose a single path kit if maintaining equal inflation in both air springs works for you. Dual path kits are also available for users who want to control side-to-side and front-to-rear vehicle leveling. System control can be done with a tried-and-true analog gauge and switch assembly mounted to the dash or wirelessly with an app on your smartphone.
