Firestone 8081 Ride-Rite Air Helper Spring Kit

The Firestone Ride-Rite 8081 is a bolt-on air helper spring kit engineered to supplement your existing leaf-spring suspension. By installing a pair of convoluted air springs between the frame and suspension, this kit allows you to dial in air pressure to match your current load — restoring ride height, reducing sag, and improving overall stability whether you're hauling, towing, or traveling empty.

Key Features:

• Adjustable load support — inflate or deflate the air springs to match changing loads for a consistently level ride
• Individual inflation valves — separate side-to-side adjustment helps keep the vehicle level under off-center or uneven loads
• Reduces inter-leaf friction — air springs cushion the leaf springs, extending their service life and smoothing out road vibrations
• Improves brake effectiveness — a level, properly loaded vehicle promotes more predictable braking and handling
• No-drill installation — designed to utilize existing factory mounting points for a clean, straightforward install typically completed in 1–2 hours
• Complete kit — includes air springs, mounting brackets, hardware, air line, and individual inflation valves
• 2-year limited warranty — backed by Firestone's industry-leading quality assurance

Firestone Ride-Rite air springs are manufactured using proprietary rubber compounds and fabric cord technology developed through Firestone's own Finite Element Analysis (FEA) process — the same engineering rigor used by major OEM suspension manufacturers. Optional Air-Rite on-board air compressor systems are available separately for push-button inflation control from the cab.
