Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs (MPN: 6401)

Enhance vehicle stability and load support with durable air springs.

Firestone Ride-Rite air helper springs are engineered to provide superior load support for light trucks, motor homes, RVs, SUVs, and vans. These double convoluted air springs are designed to be installed between the vehicle's frame and suspension, utilizing air pressure to enhance load leveling capabilities. With an extended height of 8.91 inches and a compressed height of 3 inches, these springs are built to accommodate various load conditions while maintaining optimal ride quality.

The Ride-Rite system features individual inflation valves that allow for side-to-side adjustments, ensuring that off-center loads are effectively managed. This capability not only improves steering control and braking effectiveness but also helps to level headlight beams and reduce tire wear. Additionally, the protective air cushion minimizes the risk of bottoming out by softening the contact between the axle and frame, thereby reducing suspension fatigue and prolonging the lifespan of leaf springs.

Firestone's commitment to quality is evident in the design of the Ride-Rite air helper springs, which are capable of supporting loads ranging from 3,200 to 5,000 pounds. These air springs are specifically tailored for hassle-free installation on OEM suspensions, ensuring a reliable fit and performance. The durable polyurethane construction and thoughtful engineering make these air springs a valuable addition to any vehicle requiring enhanced stability and load management.
