2008-2010 Ford F250, F350 2wd 4wd (w/ or w/out in bed hitch) - Firestone "Ride-Rite" Air Bag Helper Springs (NO-DRILL) [REAR]

I have actually had trouble with mine. I am in my second set because the first set had trouble with the brackets and bent over side ways. Now I see that one of them has bent over to the side again, so I need to go have it replaced fixed again. Any thoughts on it would help. Thank you!

This kit hasn't worked out for me. Both brackets bent over on themselves. One of the airbags popped. The kit doesn't stay upright at the point where it is mounted, but rather it continually comes loose and twists so that the airbags are crooked. We took our truck back to the mechanic a couple of different times, trying to adjust the fit and can't find anyway to make this kit work with our truck so that the bags line up straight and the brackets don't twist. That is my review. This kit is pretty well useless for us.

It took two days for this seventy year old man to install. I couldn't get the frame/fifth wheel bolts out. A shop couldn't get them with an impact wrench; burned them off. Pretty easy after that. Read the instructions three or four times first. We got them for a 2500 lbs truck camper that was causing overload spring noise. Now it rides like a Cadillac with fifty lbs of air in the air bags.

I purchased and installed this kit on my 2010 F250 Super Duty year ago. Very easy to install as per instructions. They are so effective in supporting and leveling a 16K fifth wheel toy hauler I only need 30 psi. They also greatly reduced the surging you get when towing a fifth wheel on a rough road.

Easy to install Improved handling and towing capacity Highly recommend

Great airbags. Smoothed out the ride on my F350 Dually. Well worth putting these on your truck. Fitting was not difficult.

This kit was easy to install and has worked very well for us. We have an F250 and with the truck bed full we also pull a 6 ton trailer, works great!!

The Ride-Rite kit itself was easy to install and has worked great for the 6 months I've had them installed. My 2008 F250 has a 6" spring lift, so I also had to have the Firestone lift spacers (#2375). I experienced an issue with the lift and how my truck model (2008 F250) has the tang, blocks, and leaf pack mount all canted toward the front of the vehicle a few degrees. This forward cant makes the flat portion of the Firestone lower mounting bracket also have a few degree cant to it. With the lift spacers, this angle caused misalignment with the top and bottom of the air bags themselves. They were off by around 1.5 inches, front to back, and the bags looked like they were going to tear apart due to stretching when inflated. To correct the misalignment I had to fabricate some different hardware, and rotate the lower mounting bracket the top of the axle.

I put them on a 2010 F-250 4X4, installed within a couple of hours. Very pleased with the amount of adjustment. Fast shipping!!!!
