Firestone 01-10 GM C2500HD/C3500HD Analog Ride-Rite All-In-One Kit (W217602869)

This Firestone All-In-One Analog Ride-Rite Kit gives you everything you need to add adjustable air springs to the rear of your truck. Inside this box, you'll find the Ride-Rite air helper springs themselves, a standard-duty air compressor with a no-drill mounting plate, and an analog, back-lit gauge with a black plastic housing. This kit is designed to help level out your vehicle when you're hauling or towing heavy loads, preventing rear-end squat and restoring your truck's designed ride height. It's a popular choice for trucks like the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD and GMC Sierra 3500 HD, among many others in the GM C2500HD/C3500HD family from 2001 to 2010.

What sets this kit apart is the inclusion of a no-drill mounting plate for the compressor and ECU. This means you can often use existing factory holes for installation, making the process quicker and simpler than older systems. The air helper springs can be adjusted from a minimum of 5 PSI up to a maximum of 100 PSI, allowing you to fine-tune your suspension for different loads. With a capacity of up to 5,000 pounds, these springs can significantly improve your truck's stability and handling under heavy strain, though you should always stay within your vehicle's Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). The analog gauge lets you monitor and adjust your air pressure right from inside the cab, giving you control over your ride quality.

Installation is straightforward, typically taking about 1-2 hours with the help of the included step-by-step manual. The compressor has a 13 AMP max draw and a 0.32 CFM flow rate at 100 PSI, with a fill rate of 17 seconds from 0 to 30 PSI. This kit bundles the air helper springs and the compressor system into one convenient package, so you don't have to source components separately. It's a solid option for anyone looking to improve their truck's load-carrying capabilities and overall ride comfort when towing or hauling.
