air helper springs will:
Keep the vehicle level - improve steering
control, level headlight beams and reduce tire
wear.
Level off-center loads - individual inflation
valves allow for adjustment side-to-side.
Reduce suspension fatigue - keep leaf springs
from sagging under repeated or constant load.
Air adjustment improves the ride - allowing the
air springs to be matched to the load.
Reduce bottoming out - protective air cushion
softens contact between the axle and frame.
Increase vehicle stability - absorbing road shock
providing ideal ride conditions for passengers
and load.

air helper springs can be
installed on most light
trucks, RV’s and vans.
Ride-Rite and Sport-Rite air
helper springs are installed
between the frame of the
vehicle and the suspension
providing load support
through the use of air
pressure.
Firestone has made a
commitment to provide the customer with the best air
helper spring kits in the industry. Ride-Rite has become
synonomous with quality, durability and with customer
support truly second to none.
Ride-Rite and Sport-Rite air helper springs utilize a pair
of convoluted or tapered style air springs. These air
springs are capable of *3,000 - 5,000 lbs of load
leveling capacity per set. It is extremely important to
remember that the air helper springs do not increase a
vehicles carrying capacity. Although the air springs
are capable of lifting a great deal of weight they are
intended to maximize the vehicle’s load capabilities
within the recommended Gross Vehicle Weight Rating.
