Firestone 2609 Rear Ride-Rite Air Spring Kit Compatible with 2019-2025 Silverado Sierra 1500 Non 3.0 Eco Diesel Models | Large PSI Range | Enhanced Ride Quality

This is the second set I have purchased now. The first was installed on a 2018 Chevy Silverado and the second on a 2022 GMC Sierra, both 4wd. I tow a 7,500 lb. 30’ camping trailer that has a significant amount of tongue weight. With these bags set at 55 psi, I can level the truck out with a bed loaded down with full ice chests and other camping paraphernalia, along with the trailer itself. The ride is a bit bouncy which is to be expected with that much weight and pressure, but the difference in brake feel and steering feel is unmistakable. The power, gearing, and cooling capacity of these new half tons far exceeds what the suspension can safely handle, the idea that I a 1/2 to. Can tow 10,000+ pounds is ludicrous without some form of stabilization in the rear. There’s nothing worse than watching someone tow with the rear of their truck slammed on the bump stops and the nose pointing to the sky . I feel much safer with my family in the truck knowing that I have a more even weight distribution for braking and steering response. In normal every day driving I leave the bags at the recommended minimum of 5 psi and it is as if they are not there. I highly recommend for any half ton owner doing any notable amount of towing or hauling.

Installed the bags this weekend. Two biggest issues were that the large nylock nuts would not tread down tight no matter what. I even took the bag and the bracket to the bench and tried to tighten it there in a vice. The nut would not go down all the way. Got some regular nuts and lock washers and all went well.Second I broke an air fitting trying to tighten that nylock nut. If I were to do it again I would put that fitting on AFTER you put the large lock nut on. That way you don't take the chance of hitting and breaking a brass fitting with a wrench.Install hint - leave the tires on the ground but jack up the body by the tow hitch. Then you have lots of room to compress the bags and you don't have to suck the air out like the instructions say. Then you should not break the brass fitting because it will not be there.Took about 2 1/2 hours with regular tools. You need both English and Metric wrenches.

Kit works great and was a direct bolt on! 2021 GMC Sierra 1500, however the passenger side brake line rubs on the lower bracket so I have to fabricate a relocation bracket for the brake line.Other than that everything works great!

The media could not be loaded.  The installation of 1 hour is probably geared towards someone in a shop with the vehicle lifted off the ground. This person would also be experienced in putting these on.I ended up working with a professional in his driveway and it took us 2.5 hours to do one. Now we welded it on and changed the position so it probably took a bit longer; we feel we made it better.If you have minimal experience doing stuff like this expect it to take a lot longer.

The Firestone airbags we easy to install. There are videos out there which show you step by step. Pulled 5,500 lbs of car and car trailer and they easily leveled the truck and improved handling. For the money don’t think about it, just do it!

Excellent everything. Shipping, packaging and it came earlier than expected. Easy to install if you have a few tools. Took me about 2 hours and I took my time. Everything you need to install on a Chevy 1500 high country with max trailer package. No holes drilled into truck. Drilled a hole in the Air fill line bracket and mounted it to an existing fastner on the rear of the truck.

Over all a decent product, but the cheap plastic mount provided broke the 1st time I tried to inflae the bags. Throw that cheap junk in the trash and find a suitable location with predrilled holes or break out the drill.

I wanted to get the product installed AC nd operating before writing this review. I think the product is acceptable, but one of the slip connect fittings on the air bags is leaking and I will have to contact another dealer to get a replacement for it.

impressed by quality and fit, good instructions. I did have red seal mechanic, hoist and his tools to get thru some of the tight spots. Ad photos don't portray just how heavy duty and large that these are. Bolted up against existing B&W underbed frame mount goose neck hitch and it's as though they were made in same factory. Little adjustment on u-bolt of goose neck and the 2 plates are perfectly aligned. Air line fittings at top of bag are leaking down slowly but hoping to get replacements or resolve from manufacturer. Didn't install them right away so return date passed, trying to figure out contact info?

Would have been an easier install with longer bolts.it would be nice to have longer flush bolts for the lower axel brackets, if the spacers are needed the bolts are to short, they arrive flush with the bottom bracket, meanwhile the others are like 1 inch longer than needed .just my 2 cents , the design on the lower bracket could have been a little wider offering better seating on the axel just does not look very strong, held in place with 4 little bolts. considerinng there is lots of available space .

super service rapide et facile d'installation genre 1h1/2 d'installation pour la première fois que tu installes un kit comme ça

Item arrived quickly and easy install once I figure it out. The instructions from the manufacturer are lacking some details.

This is my 3rd set of air bags on 3 different trucks and they have all installed and fit perfect. Theses ones came to my door in 3 days.
