Firestone W217602542 Details

Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs

Ride-Rite air helper springs, often refered to as Firestone air bag kits, can be installed on most light trucks, motorhomes, RVs, SUVs, and vans. Firestone 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 premium air helper spring kits in the industry. Ride-Rite has become synonymous with quality, durability, and with customer support truly second to none. Each application is specifically designed to maximize the safe load carrying capacity, stability, and ride quality of the vehicle.

Video - How To Install A Firestone Ride-Rite No Drill Air Bag Kit

Firestone Ride Rite air helper springs utilize a pair of convoluted air bags which can be adjusted for changing loads. These air springs are capable of 3200-5000 lbs of load leveling capacity per set.(Note: Do NOT exceed the vehicle's recommended gross vehicle weight rating GVWR). Firestone air helper springs enhance the ride by reducing leaf friction. Please remember that air springs do not increase the load-carrying capacity of your vehicle.

Ride-Rite air helper springs enhance the ride by reducing inter-leaf friction. Please remember that air springs do not increase the load-carrying capacity of your vehicle.

Basic Kit includes everything for a quick installation:

  • 2 Air springs (Air bags)
  • Mounting Brackets
  • Hardware
  • Air line
  • Separate inflation valves for manual inflation
Features & Benefits of Ride-Rite Air Bags and Air Spring Kits
  • No Drilling of Frame - Easy bolt on installation stallation
  • Keep the Vehicle level - improve steering control and braking effectiveness, level headlight beams, and reduce tire wear
  • Reduce suspension fatigue - keep leaf springs from sagging under repeated or constant load
  • Air adjustments improves the ride - allowing the air springs to be matched to the load
  • Level off-center loads- individual inflation valves allow for adjustment side-to-side
  • 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
  • Firestone Air Bag Kits are designed and assembled in the USA

Customer Q&A - Firestone W217602542


Will this product work with Reese 15K Pro fifth wheel hitch on a 2011 Ford F150?

Asked
Firestone Ride-Rite kit 2542 is designed to work specifically with B & W hitches and will not work with a Reese fifth wheel hitch. We recommend looking at Air Lift kit 57000 (4x4) or 57228 (4x2) air spring kits. They are axle mounted kits that are designed to work with multiple types of fifth wheel hitches.


What is a B&W hitch? My 2010 F-150 comes with a factory installed trailer tow hitch. I am unsure what model bag to purchase.

Asked
A B&W hitch is an aftermarket 5th wheel hitch. If you have a factory trailer hitch you will need Firestone Ride-Rite kit 2525.


I HAVE ALREADY ORDERED AND RECEIVED THE FIRESTONE AIR SPRING KIT AND HAVE NOTICED ON THE PACKING SLIP THAT IT IS CONPATIBLE WITH THE B&W HITCH. I HAVE A CURD 16515, 16K. IS THE AIR SPRING KIT I HAVE ORDERED AND RECEIVE GOING TO BE CONPATIBLE WITH THE CURD OR AM I GOING TO HAVE TO RETURN THIS ONE AND GET ANOTHER THAT WILL BE COMPATIBLE WITH THE CURD SLIDING 5TH WHEEL HITCH. THANK YOU FOR YOU TIME...

Asked
Firestone Air Spring Kit 2542 is designed specifically for a Ford F-150 B & W hitch. Please contact us at 1-800-358-4751 and we can give you an RGA number for the return of Firestone Air Spring kit to us and see what air spring kit you will need. Thank you!
