2007-2018 Chevy / GMC 1500 Silverado, Sierra - Firestone "Ride-Rite" Air Bag Helper Springs (NO-DRILL) [REAR]

I really enjoyed these airbags on my 2009 1500 silverado, easy to install and definitely helped with leveling for pulling a travel trailer. I’d would recommend using the wireless air compressor not to have to get any wires into the cab. I did end up selling my 2009 and bought a 2020 2500 silverado and had to rebuy everything and love that kit as well pulling a 5th wheel now.

This was the best upgrade for my truck! I’ve had 1,000 pounds in the bed and towed with 350lb tongue weight. No sag what so ever.

Easy install, directions were detailed. Took the weight off the back and transferred it to the front when hauling and towing exactly as it was designed to do. I would recommend this to anyone who does a lot of towing and hauling.

Installation was pretty simple and they've made hauling our fifth wheel safer and much more comfortable. Would definitely recommend them to anyone who hauls heavy loads with their truck

Worked out well. Satisfied customer.it Reduced bottoming out and Increase my vehicle stability .installation was very easy it took 2 hours or may be less than. nice service .

The 2430 Ride-Rite air bag suspension kit works great on my 2017 Chevrolet 1500,Installed was no problem everything was in the kit.

Awesome works perfect . installation done very easily within 2 hours. it reduces bottoming out . it also keep the vehicle level smooth .

Also have other air bags and none are as good as the Firestone kits.

Excellent product - easy to install and works great. The service was great - shipping tome was good. Definitely would recommend to my friends. Thanks again!

The Ride-Rite kit worked slick on my Chevy Silverado. I have put nearly 3000 miles on the air bags hauling 1500 pounds of pop-up camper and gear. With the included instructions and an internet video they were easy to install even for a 70 year-old. All the parts I needed were there. I did purchase a torque wrench to apply proper nut-to-blot tension. A few years ago I broke a bracket on my Dakota. Your order person handled my needs very well and efficiently sending the parts that I needed to get back on the road. They arrived in short order. I have referred friends to your website. Thanks much for your quick delivery and well packaged products.

This is the 5th kit I have installed on clients vehicles. Pretty simple to install and haven't heard any complaints. customer care are very diligent and helpful they gave me lot of cognitive things for my vehicle .They are working great

I have enjoyed your product on my last two pickup trucks . I hired a repair shop to , all parts needed were present.The on board compressor works great, with wireless controller.I use the system when pulling larger trailers.I like the ease of adjusting on the fly.I would like thank the customer services of SD Trucks.

About a 2 hour install without hoist, easy to follow instructions, once installed they work great. I put them in my 2014 gmc and my 2011 tundra.

These are the real deal - IF you have a load to carry (qualified below). The kit I received was complete, to install with each bag on it's own air. I placed the valves on either side of the rear bumper license-plate cutout. Installation was simple. I did it laying under the truck, in my garage. Took me a liesurely 5 hours, with coffee breaks. I removed the wheel from the side I was working on - which made visibility better & installation easier. The only difficulty fo rme, was getting the factory jounce bumper off. Couldn't get my head in there far enough to see up inside it & ID the kind of bolt head I needed to accommodate. But that's where a mobile fone's camera & flash come in handy! Once I figured that out - no problems. Re-routing the brake line was a no-brainer. Followed the instructions & worked out beautifully. No special connectors, anywhere. Honestly - a high-school kid with a half-decent collection of garage-sale hand-tools can do this installation & get it right the first

For the most part, the installation is pretty easy and you must remove the spare tire. However, the upper cups where the bump stops were removed MUST BE GROUND DOWN on each side or upper bracket can not be secured properly. The manufacturer of this product (Firestone) should widen the upper brackets slightly to take care of this problem... I doubt I am the first person that has had this problem. D.

Installed on 2015 Silverado kit works well except the upper bracket does not fit flush on the jounce bumper cup. You think it is tight, but it works loose and makes noise when you go over bumps. The edges of the cup need to be ground on two sides to make the bracket fit flush and not set on the radius's. A bit of a pain to have to redo part of the install.

System started to make noise when going over small bumps. The top bracket does not fit flush on the jounce bumper cup. the bolt was tight when installed but the bracket moves and gets loose due to about 1/16 inch gap between cup and bracket. I had to remove the top brackets and grind the edges of the cup to allow it to sit flush when the bolt is tightened. I also did some grinding on the brackets to ensure myself that the brackets would tighten up properly. Also use Loctite on the bolt. After a good install and then having to reengineer a part and spend another 2 hours fixing it, the bags work well with no noise.

They fit perfectly, and work well when towing my camper !

It was easy to install just followed the instructions Be sure to order the air valve tee if you are not using a compressor It's easy to adjust for any loan you may be hauling and rides great wouldn't pull anything without it Stable load hauling makes a safe load hauling I highly recommend it

Don't do it. Purchased this product and had on my truck for a few years and when 1 air spring blew out ride rite would not honor their lifetime warranty on their airspring. They will use any excuse to not honor their warranty, it's false advertising.

First SDTruckSprings was awesome to deal with so this review is not a reflection on them. I have a new 2017 Silverado 1500 6.2L with a 6 1/2 foot bed. While installing this kit I found that the upper bracket does not fit flush against the jouce bumper cup. The cup appears to be too wide for the upper bracket. There is just over 1/16th inch gap between the cup and bracket. I contacted Firestone and sent pictures of both sides of the truck installed and torqued to spec. Needless to say, I'm less than impressed with their condescending style of customer service, which is another topic. They're telling me that they've sold these kits before to the same year of truck owners and that it must be something wrong with my threads. If you grind down the sides of your jouce bumper cup or are fine with the gap then this kit works fits as advertised.

Works great on my 1/2 ton. Spend the money and get a compressor at the same time.

Great product, and easy install!!company was very helpful when I called for some questions about the installation. I will Definitely order with this SD again.

This is the second time dealing with your company and both times have been great. The product works great and very easy to install. I recieved a tracking number right away and delivery was quick. I would recomend your company to everyone. Thanks Len

The airbags work great and we're easy to install. When I pull my 32' gooseneck trailer I air the bags up to 50 lbs. Truck is stable and level. No headlights pointing up into the eyes of oncoming drivers like if I had my high beams on. They were a great buy

I bought Air Bag Helper Spring, Worked as they should.

Very happy with the air bags! Easy to install and work perfectly, essentially turned my 1/2 ton into a 3/4 ton

WASTE OF MONEY. I have a wooden box that's been built on the bed of my Silverado 1500 to carry sled dogs. (Normal bed was removed and this dog box was built on the frame). When I initially purchased my truck I wanted to have heavy duty leaf springs installed but was talked out of it by a mechanic who said I could just install these instead. So I followed his advice and purchased a set of these and had him install them. Well the first set lasted approximately 2 years max before they got holes in them. I thought that perhaps they were installed incorrectly and that was the reason, so this past winter I purchased a 2nd set of these and paid a mechanic I highly trust, who is very very good at his job, to install them correctly. They were installed in March and today (Sept 5) I discovered one of the bags has a hole in it already. So it lasted less than 6 months. I do not drive the truck over crazy roads (although I do live on a dirt road), I don't put a ton of mileage on the truck,

I would love to say they work great, but when I was buying these, I phoned you and asked if this was the correct product for my truck (2015 GMC Denali 1500) I was assured that these were correct, So when they arrived I was oversea working, and didnt get a chance to install the right away. When I got home I took my truck in to get these installed, and discovered that these will not fit my truck, when I contacted you about this, I was told that because it was more than 30 days, you told me I would not be able to return these. So when you ask how I like my air bags, just what do you think my response should be. you should also know that I also bought air bags for my motor home, and as well never got a chance to install these right away, and will have to make several modification and DRILL when I was told it was a no drill system to get these to fit. So I would say I am not happy with this or these products or the service I have received from you, and at one time promoted your store, but t
