Specs:
Firestone Ride-Rite springs are designed to increase safety and reduce the strain on your vehicle when you are hauling heavy loads or towing a heavy trailer. The springs partner with your existing rear suspension system to help keep your truck level, maintain even load distribution and increase stability. Hauling heavy loads or towing a heavy trailer can make the rear of your truck sag and the front end rise. This puts more strain on your rear axle and reduces contact between your front tires and the road, causing problems with braking, steering control and traction. By adding air springs to your rear suspension, you can help to level your truck and improve braking and handling. The air springs also help to level your headlight beams and reduce wear on your tires.
Adjustable Air Pressure
The air pressure in your Ride-Rite springs can be adjusted manually, side to side, to compensate for off-center loads. A centered load improves the stability of your truck by reducing body roll. The air springs will also help to absorb road shock and to soften contact between your axle and frame. This prevents bottoming out, thus improving ride comfort. Route the air line tubing for the springs to your truck's bumper to provide easy access to the manual inflation valves.
Air Spring Construction
Unlike standard Ride-Rite air springs, the RED Label air springs operate up to 150 psi to maximize its weight capacity. The springs have four layers of reinforced rubber to ensure durability and enhance load support. A braided wire girdle creates the double-convoluted shape of each air spring, increasing the burst pressure of the spring. The rubber springs are attached to corrosion-resistant metal end plates with a time-proven, rolled crimp seal that keeps the bags securely anchored.
Air Spring Installation
Each RED Label Extreme Duty kit includes vehicle-specific brackets, fasteners, and hardware for fast, no-drill installation. The hardware installs directly on your axle and frame and the air springs install onto the mounting points provided by the brackets. Additional equipment like control panels, compressors, and air tanks are sold separately.

Review from a similar Ride-Rite Red Label in Vehicle Suspension
Installed on a 2015 F350 Super Duty with Reese universal bed rail kit previously mounted. Straight forward install with includeded instructions. No additional drill or modification except neeeding to reroute 1 wiring harness to maintain proper clearance around left bag. The left upper bracket shims didn't directly line up. There is a slight overhang of the bracket along the frame rail due to this, but enough surface area covered. Left side used (1) 1/2" and (1) 1/4" shims. Right side bracket used (2) 1/2" shims. Torque specs are labeled on top of air bag.

I've been using air helper springs for about 25 years. These Firestone red label are great, easy to install, directions easy to follow. It sure helps to have an assistant.

I put a set of 7,500 lb on my dodge dually two wheel drive, what a difference! I carry a heavy 3 slide camper on it 100% of the time, these bags made amazing ride quality upgrade.
Kit - 01/15/2023Review from a similar Ride-Rite Red Label in Vehicle Suspension
As a reference point to others, I have a Dodge Ram 3500 without duel rear tires. My biggest loads are my Artic Fox slide-in camper or my 12k utility trailer. I had a set of helper steel springs to help handle the load, but the ride was rough. I dumped the steel helper springs and installed the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Springs. That has allowed me to vary the air pressure with the load in the truck for an improved ride, especially when empty. The structural parts of the kit are very good and well designed and installed quite easily. The air fitting sucked. I never got the ones that go into the top of the air springs installed. I went down to the local auto parts store and got some that fit. I should admit that it was subzero in my unheated garage when I installed them so that added to difficulty of handling small parts in tight spaces. Performance wise they have met my expectations and improved the ride of the truck when loaded or empty.
Review from a similar Ride-Rite Red Label in Vehicle Suspension
The Ride-Rite Extreme Duty Air Springs (RED Label) worked great on my RAM 3500 DRW. I pull a 40' Montana 5th wheel. 15,000 lbs and about 4,000lbs on the truck bed. I had the NON Red Label rated at 5,000 lbs and blew one airbag on extremely bumpy Illinois Interstate. I have put about 20,000 miles on the RED label airbags rated to 7,500lbs and have been VERY happy.
P.S. I am not one of those Saggy rear end trucks that shine their headlights in your eyes thanks to the support I get from these air bags. Level ride = level lights
Ron H - 05/24/2020Review from a similar Ride-Rite Red Label in Vehicle Suspension
Outstanding kit. Install was fairly easy. Passenger side frame bracket was had to be bent open a hair to fit over the vehicle frame. Installed with the Air Lift 73000EZ compressor on a 2019 Ram 2500 4x4. Towing a 5th-wheeel with 2300lbs pin weight (11,000lbs trailer). The complete system works beautifully. Can adjust the ride height of the truck to properly level the trailer. Stable tow during high cross winds. Have over 10,000 miles towing in the past year. Very happy with this system.
Review from a similar Ride-Rite Red Label in Vehicle Suspension
Bags work as advertised. I also ordered the T fitting. System leaked from day one. I was told it would until May: June of 22 to receive new Firestone T fitting. No mention that a Ride Right T would work( it was 1/2 price) Finally ordered a Ride Right T, received it 3-5 business days. System now holds air. Sent old Firestone T back for refund, no credit on card on file, been 60 days or more. etrailer staff dropped the ball on this one. Product is good, etrailer service was poor on this order

The inventory of components and parts did not include the air springs and all the hardware. Now I'm waiting for a resolution.
Jenny N - 11/22/2022Review from a similar Ride-Rite Red Label in Vehicle Suspension
Gave sit 4 stars only for the fact: yes it will work with 7k axels. However you will need longer U bolts which etrailer does not offer for the 3” or 7k axels. Had to get longer and upgraded U-Bolts from etrailer. I ordered these from Rough Country.
They were longer than needed cut about 1.25” off.

Merry Christmas to you all, Mike Davis
Review from a similar Ride-Rite Red Label in Vehicle Suspension
I haul a 37' Fifth Wheel and 24' equipment trailer with my F-250. The Red Label air bags have made traveling through the mountains a breeze. Handling was greatly improved. I highly recommend them for any type of towing.
Review from a similar Ride-Rite Red Label in Vehicle Suspension
Great quality. Excellent installation instructions. Performs perfectly. More than compensates for the weight of my 3000lb cabover camper. Handled around 4500lbs of tile pallets no problem. Definitely recommend these bags
Review from a similar Ride-Rite Red Label in Vehicle Suspension
Installation guide and videos provided a completed DIY installation. One thing I would recommend is when attaching the top brackets is ensure you have the curved braces positioned towards the outside of the truck allowing room to screw the 1 1/8 nut on to the air valve.
Review from a similar Ride-Rite Red Label in Vehicle Suspension
i went with the Firestone setup in lieu of a bumpstop type of helper or one of the other air filled type of lift/ leveling brands, based on reviews from 5th wheel travel trailer fourms as well as the Ford Tremor owners fourm. i had also used a similar Firestone air lift upgrade on a Ford Bronco back some years ago and had great results. the Ride Rite system allows me to adjust according to the amount of weight which is important to me while hauling our 5th wheel trailer. i installed the system my self. i am including a couple photos taken a year after the installation. one pic shows where i installed the air valves. I would highly recommend this system, thus the 5 stars.
Review from a similar Ride-Rite Red Label in Vehicle Suspension
Easy install with wheels on carriage bolts should be 3.5 inches not 3 inch
at least for my 2016 f350 dually I also had to make adjustments as I have gooseneck fifth wheel hookup .
Review from a similar Ride-Rite Red Label in Vehicle Suspension
Easy to install. Did exactly what I needed. I tow a 35 ft toy hauler TT. Very tongue heavy especially with no toy. These bags made it easy to keep my F350 level for a much better drive.
