Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Spring Kit 08-21 Ford E450 Commercial Chassis (W217602622)

If you're driving a Ford E450 Commercial Chassis or Class C Motorhome from 2008 through 2021, and you're looking to haul heavier loads or just smooth out the ride when you're loaded down, this Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Spring Kit is a solid option. These air springs work by adding adjustable air pressure between your frame and suspension. This helps distribute the load more evenly, which can significantly improve your vehicle's stability, handling, and braking effectiveness when it's carrying a heavy payload. They also help reduce inter-leaf friction in your existing springs, leading to a more comfortable ride even when the vehicle is loaded.

What's really convenient about this kit is that it's designed for a no-drill installation on most E450 chassis cab and cutaway models, meaning it uses existing holes in the frame. The kit comes complete with commercial-grade air springs, industrial-coated upper and lower brackets to resist rust, DOT-rated tubing, and all the necessary hardware and fittings. You can adjust the air pressure from a minimum of 5 psi when unloaded up to a maximum of 100 psi when loaded, and the individual inflation valves allow you to level the vehicle side-to-side if you have an off-center load. This kit is rated to support up to 5,000 pounds of additional carrying capacity.

Installation is typically straightforward, usually taking about 1 to 2 hours, and all the components you need are included. Keep in mind that a manual fill system is standard, so you'll need an air compressor to adjust the pressure, and a compressor is not included. For lifted applications, you might need to purchase lift spacers separately. Firestone backs this kit with a two-year limited warranty, giving you peace of mind.
