Firestone Ride-Rite Replacement Air Helper Spring Rear 267C 1.5 (W217606784)

Firestone is well-known for its durable air springs, and this Ride-Rite Replacement Air Helper Spring is a popular choice for enhancing the load-carrying capabilities of your Ford Transit van. If you're looking to haul heavier loads, tow a trailer, or just want a more stable ride, especially when carrying off-center weight, these air springs can make a notable difference. They work by adding adjustable air pressure between your vehicle's frame and suspension, effectively increasing its safe load capacity and reducing strain on the factory springs.

This particular bellows, the 267C 1.5 style, is a double convoluted air spring designed to fit within a ride height range of 5.5 to 6.5 inches, with a maximum diameter of 6.6 inches. The system allows for individual inflation on each side, which is a practical feature for keeping your Transit level when the load isn't perfectly balanced. This not only helps maintain ride quality but also improves brake effectiveness and overall vehicle stability, especially important for larger vans like the Transit. Installation is typically straightforward, often utilizing the vehicle's factory mounting points with no drilling required, and most kits can be installed in about one to two hours.

This replacement bellows is designed to work with your existing Ride-Rite system or as part of a new installation. It's a solid option for Transit owners who frequently carry significant weight or tow, providing a more comfortable and controlled driving experience under load.
