The Ride Rite system utilizes a pair of double-convoluted air springs with individual inflate/deflate valves. These valves let you control the pressure in each spring, so you can level your vehicle even under off-center loads. Ride Rite springs enhance your ride quality by reducing friction between leaves. They absorb road shocks for a smooth ride, even if you're carrying a heavy load.
Firestone backs your versatile Ride Rite Air Helper Spring System with a Lifetime Warranty.
*NOTE: Ride-Rite Air Springs do not increase the load-bearing capacity of your vehicle. Never exceed your vehicle's recommended Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR).

The installation for my 05' Nissan Frontier was very straightforward; Attach the bags to the brackets, cut off the factory jounce bumpers, bolt the top bracket to the frame and the bottom bracket to the leaf pack, install air lines and inflation valves then fill with air. The bottom bracket sits on top of the hump leftover from where the factory jounce used to be, so it does deform when the U-bolts are torqued but the function is not effected in any way. Also, the U-bolts had to be cut to length but that was only a minor surprise. All in all, the install was a breeze - anyone with the proper tools should be able to figure it out. As far as performance goes, with no load and 12lbs of air in the bags, my truck's handling has significantly improved. I can't wait to hook up the trailer!

Top bracket wouldn't work after I called to make sure it was right for my truck. Had to take to a shop to make a top bracket that would work.

The units have pretty steady slight leaks via the fittings, without an onboard compressor expect to repressurize regularly, the leaks appear to be from the quick connect fittings, the air hose did not show with my kit and we had to substitute some other tubing.

Will not work with 18" TRD Wheels on a 04 Tundra 4X4. There's not enough clearance between leaf springs and air bags when inflated. Other than that, it's an awesome product. Excellent customer service when returning parts for a refund. 2 thumbs up!
