How to Install a Firestone Air Bag Kit

A walk through on how to install a Firestone no drill air bag kit. The kit installed is a Firestone Ride-Rite 2250 air bag kit. It is a no drill, axle mount air spring kit. Other no drill kits will install in a similar fashion and this is a good reference video on how to install a Ride-Rite kit. Highly recommended to watch before you start installing your air bag kit, especially if you have a Firestone 2250 Kit.

I put the extreme duty version on my truck with 250 psi of nitrogen and use a weight distribution hitch, Timbren, add a leaf, and overload springs. All together, I increased the weight capacity of my Tacoma to 65, 000 lbs. I pull a 2022 DRV Santa Fe 5th wheel converted to a bumper pull. I have no problem steering now.

Thank you for the Video i have install this kit on my silverado 2014 who much air you recomend

I have a 2008 Sprinter that came with the Ride Rite Air Springs. Lately I loose air pressure after about 5 minutes. I did the soapy solution spray on all fittings and no bubbles. Is it possible that the air springs (bellows) themselves could develop a leak? I sprayed all over the block where the three hoses come together. Does the tubing simply pull out after pulling on the brass fitting? I haven't tried that. I have a tubing cutter like in the video and I think I might cut a half inch off each tubing and re-seat them. Suggestions?

Really looking into these kits. I have a lifted truck and don't know which would be better for my purpose. Axle mounted or Spring mounted? I will be towing camper trailers more often now. I first realized how bad and dangerous my truck is when I towed my wife's car from TX to ID. The squat sucked! Any help appreciated.

Thanks!

Used truck I bought I think has these and compressor was going out so they disconnected it. Is that dangerous?

Could I install a kit like this on my 02 duramax if I were to put a 6 inch lift on it? Or would I just have to make spacers for the bag brackets?

What pressure do I use in these when I have no load? Do I keep it at 50psi? Or 5psi?

I just installed the RideRite Air Bags on my 2017 F-150. I’ll be pulling a 9000lbs travel trailer. What PSI would you recommend I inflate the bags to?

Could I install on my 2014 F150 that has 2 inch lowering shackles on the rear?

[davidkoch]

Does a screw on air hose work? Or only a press on to fill?

Kit 2597 is it going to install the same way?

[tedhicks]
