Whatever you ride and wherever you go - take the high road
No matter what you’re hauling or what you’re hauling with, Firestone got a load support system that can improve your ride and level your load.
The workhorse of Firestone air helper spring line, Ride-Rite springs can be installed on most light trucks, motorhomes, RV’s, SUV’s and vans. They are installed between your vehicle’s frame and axle and provide variable load support through adjusting the air pressure. Ride-Rite springs can re-level your heavily loaded vehicle. Sport-Rite air springs, like Ride-Rite air helper springs, improve ride and handling. While Ride-Rite kits include convoluted style air springs, Sport-Rite kits include innovative tapered sleeve air springs, which are more conducive for specific applications.
Air-Rite Air Control Systems increase the convenience of air adjustable systems by allowing drivers to adjust the ride for various load and road conditions at the flip of a switch or even a click on a remote. You can choose complete kit or individual air accessory components to create the air control assist solution that best meets your needs.
Coil-Rite air helper springs provide extra support for coil springs in cars, minivans, vans, light trucks, RV’s and SUV’s. Adjusting the air pressure in Coil-Rite springs will level your vehicle, provide a smoother ride and assist with more effective braking and handling, even under heavy loading and rough road conditions.
Work-Rite load assist springs do not use air like the Ride-Rite family of springs. Instead, they are made of multicellular urethane developed specifically for automotive and light truck use. They have great low temperature flexibility and a high-repeat compression resistance. Most Work-Rite kits are a no-drill design and can be installed in 30-40 minutes with basic hand tools.
Level-Rite springs pair the air spring with the shock absorber to achieve meaningful load capacity in factory suspension con figurations that don’t allow for stand-alone air spring fittings. They provide the perfect leveling solution for the front end of late model Dodge,Chevrolet and GM trucks and SUV’s. This is a good solution if you have a snowplow, a large bumper and winch, or a slide-in camper that loads the front axle.
Firestone air spring systems are designed to maximize safe load carrying capacity, stability, and overall ride quality. They are designed and assembled in the USA. Ride Rite air springs use the same Firestone technology used on many heavy duty trucks, trailers, and buses on the road today. That means in addition to Firestone’s reputation for commercial grade durability, quality, reliability, and service, you’ll get:
How it works
Ride-Rite air helper springs utilize a pair of convoluted air springs, which can be adjusted for changing loads. These air springs are capable of 3,200 to 5,000 lbs.* of load leveling capacity. Ride-Rite air helper springs enhance the ride by reducing inter-leaf friction. Please remember that air springs do not increase the loadcarrying capacity of your vehicle. *DO NOT EXCEED THE VEHICLE’S RECOMMENDED GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT RATING (GVWR)
Levels Vehicle
This will improve steering control and braking effectiveness, level headlight beams and reduce tire wear.
Levels Off-Center Loads
Individual inflation valves allow for side-to-side adjustment.
Reduces Suspension Fatigue
Keeps leaf springs from permanent sagging under repeated or constant load.
Reduces Bottoming Out
Protective air cushion softens contact between the axle and frame.
Increases Vehicle Stability
Absorbs road shock – providing ideal ride conditions for your passengers and load.
Installation Basics

If you are looking for a smoother ride for your vehicle that has a coil spring suspension, Firestone Coil-Rite air helper springs are what you need. Designed to fit inside existing coil springs to create a variable spring rate, Coil-Rite will level your vehicle and assist with more effective braking and handling, even under heavy loading and adverse road conditions. Coil-Rite air helper springs were also designed to work in temperatures between -40F (-40C) and 180F (82C).

Certain factory suspension configurations do not allow the fitment of a stand-alone air spring. In these instances, it is necessary to pair the air spring with the shock absorber to achieve meaningful load capability while maintaining a hassle-free installation. For these applications, Firestone has designed a fully-protected, reversible sleeve air spring and paired it with a high-performance Bilstein monotube shock absorber for perfectly matched performance characteristics over the entire operation range. Level-Rite provides the perfect leveling solution for the front end of late model Dodge, Chevrolet and GMC trucks and SUVs used for snow-plowing, hauling slide-in-campers or that have large, heavy grill guards or bumpers.

The progressive load-deflection characteristics of the Work-Rite kit will smooth your ride when you vehicle is fully loaded, and won't compromise your ride when it's not. Work-Rite load assist springs do not use air like the other Ride-Rite family of springs. They are injection molded, made of microcellular urethane and are fully adjustable for individual loading using spacers which are provided in each kit. Work-Rite springs are maintenance-free and available for the rear suspension of most popular pickup trucks.
