Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Spring Kit Rear 02-08 Dodge RAM 1500 2WD/4WD (W217602286)

When you're towing a heavy trailer or hauling a significant load with your 2002-2008 Dodge Ram 1500, you might notice the rear end sagging. This can affect your truck's handling and braking. Firestone Ride-Rite air helper springs are designed to address this by providing adjustable load support directly to your rear suspension.

These air springs work by using adjustable air pressure to supplement your existing leaf springs. This means you can tailor the support to match the specific weight you're carrying, whether it's a light load or a full tow. By distributing the load more evenly, they help keep your truck level, reduce strain on your suspension components, and can even improve your braking effectiveness. The system includes separate inflation valves, allowing you to adjust each side independently. This is particularly useful for keeping the vehicle level when carrying off-center loads, ensuring a more stable and comfortable ride.

Installation is straightforward as most Ride-Rite kits are designed as no-drill systems, utilizing your truck's factory mounting points. This kit comes with all the necessary brackets, air helper springs, hardware, air lines, and inflation valves for a complete installation. Firestone backs this popular kit with a two-year limited warranty.
