Firestone Ride rites

Anybody using these??? Was thinking about them for my 07 2500 for pulling my large trailer. I have heard there is an option for onboard compressor and in Cab adjustment! Thanks!!

Yes sir,
I have a 5th wheel and they level the truck. The set up rides very smoothe down the hiway.

I have the AIR-LIFT brand, but still very similar design. Both kits very well made and a necessity for any towing. I have the in-cab and am very pleased with it. One switch pumps them up via on board compressor, then you can bleed them down with another switch. Also have emergency valves for manual inflation or deflation at the back of the truck. Neat toys!!!

P.S. Brett, where is the link to donate? I'd been saving up to help a bro out!

I love mine also. I have a slide in camper and pull a jeep on a trailer and by filling up the bags, I can get my truck level, and a have a great ride. I don't have the in cab controller.

I have the Firestone Riderites they work just as advertised. The only draw back I see was that when I filled them to keep off the overloads my fiver went from being level to nose high so I lower the front of the trailer by raising the king pin and now I am alot closer to the bed rails which could cause problems in exteme situations. My son and I did the install and it went very smoothly. I got them at Baxter Auto Parts for 254.99.

I'm using the ride-rites with onboard compressor. They work well for me, no problems yet!
