Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs (MPN: 6397)

Enhance vehicle stability and load support with durable air springs.

Firestone Ride-Rite air helper springs are engineered to provide maximum load support and enhance vehicle stability. These double convoluted air springs are designed for installation on a variety of vehicles including light trucks, motor homes, RVs, SUVs, and vans. By utilizing air pressure, they effectively support the load between the vehicle's frame and suspension, ensuring a balanced ride under varying conditions.

The Ride-Rite system features individual inflation valves that allow for side-to-side adjustments, accommodating off-center loads and improving steering control. With a load leveling capacity ranging from 3,200 to 5,000 pounds, these air springs help reduce suspension fatigue and prevent permanent sagging of leaf springs under repeated loads. Additionally, they provide a protective air cushion that minimizes contact between the axle and frame, reducing the risk of bottoming out.

Firestone is dedicated to delivering high-quality air helper spring kits that are application-specific for hassle-free installation. Each kit is designed to maximize the safe load carrying capacity and improve ride quality, making them a reliable choice for enhancing vehicle performance. The durable polyurethane construction ensures longevity and consistent performance, making Firestone Ride-Rite air helper springs a trusted solution for load management.
