Sport-Rite® Air Helper Spring Kit

Description

Firestone Sport-Rite air helper springs could be the answer to all of your ride-performance needs. They're state-of-the-art tapered air springs that mount between the frame and suspension of your vehicle and deliver benefits whether it's empty or loaded. When it's empty, they enhance the ride quality. However, when you need to do some serious hauling, they can add up to 3,000 lbs. per set to your load-carrying capacity. Some drilling may be required.

More than seventy years ago, Firestone started developing a full air-based suspension for passenger cars. Firestone Airide air springs were installed on the new line of general Motors buses in the late 50's. Later that decade, air springs began to gain popularity in luxury vehicles. Over the next 20 years, technology improvements in other suspension components, such as compressors and valves, helped support the growth of air suspension. In the 1970's, Ford Motor Company incorporated air suspension in the Lincoln Town Car and Continental. Firestone has continued to be innovative in product design, material selection and customer service, providing our customers with improved ride quality and safe load-carrying capabilities.
