Overview
The Firestone Ride-Rite Sport-Rite Rear Air Helper Spring Kit, part 2320, is a rear air helper spring kit that mounts to the leaf spring to add load leveling support. Its tapered sleeve air springs are rated for 3,000 lbs per pair.
The kit helps keep the vehicle level, levels off-center loads and reduces bottoming out. Air is added manually, and a compressor and gauges are not part of the kit.
Key features
- Leaf spring mount system
- Tapered sleeve air spring design
- Load capacity of 3,000 lbs per pair
- Manual inflation
- Optional height sensor
- Lift kit compatible; may require spacers
Leaf spring mount basics
Leaf spring mount air helpers attach to the spring assembly rather than the axle housing, so the bags ride against the leaf pack as the suspension cycles. That location shapes how the sleeves flex, and it is one reason the springs should be checked for cracked clips, loose U-bolts and worn bushings before the kit goes on. A rusted or bent leaf can change how the air sleeves seat.
Once installed, check the mounting points after the first drive and again after rough roads. Keep the air lines routed away from hot exhaust parts and moving linkage, and use a separate compressor and gauge to set pressure in small steps. Ride height should be checked on both sides so the load stays even. Replacing worn shock absorbers at the same time often gives a steadier result, since the helpers and shocks share control of the ride.
