ive read alot about firestones ride-rite 2299 kit. looks like a good kit. any1 have it for sale?

I have the firestone ride rite kit, sorry not for sale, it's been great for exactly what your talking about, you can air it up when you want a firmer ride. I use mine when towing or hauling fire wood. Have had mine for a few years now no problems to date, keep the bags around 10-20psi, and then air them up when needed.

Both dad and I have the firestones.. They are great the only thing I don't like is that they don't work well with the OEM overloads. In order to get enough squat for the overloads the airbags are so flat it would scare me to run them on a rough road. I plan on modifying my overloads for this reason.

I DONT HAVE OVERLOADS DO I? thats only on the 3500s isnt it?

Fisherguy

Only 3500's have overloads.
(the ones on top of the leaf pack)

Firestones.
Installed them on a buddy's nitro. Took longer to run the lines than install the bags. Super simple install. Another guy at the firehouse has em on a 150. He backs up to the trailer, measures the hitch height, hooks up, and adds air till it equals the un-hooked height. 10 psi empty. Great ride on both. The 150 pulls a compact tractor and the nitro pulls a four wheeler and a RZR on a tandem trailer. Loves em.

Got the firestones for hauling my 28' travel trailer. No more sag. And with the compressor, I can air up or down with the flick of a switch. Love them.

I just put the firestone air bags in my truck and they are really good, easy to install too !!

I had to grind the brackets on my Firestones to get them to fit right. If I had to do it again I would do the Pac Brake ones; their brackets appear to be of much higher quality.

Actually some 2500 come with overload leaf springs. mine has them and they are rough with the 12 ply nitto mud tires.

Only on 2nd gen's. Once you get into 3rd gen's only 3500's have them..

And at least on 3rd gen's they won't affect the empty ride, and based on what I did the other day it's going to take a ton of weight to even contact those things statically, there is something like 2" between the overloads and the contacts.

txarrowhunter

yes i believe your correct on that, but also the option to have them according to randolph in eastland same as 3500 single wheel base.

Where'd you get a 12-ply rated Nitto MT?
