Firestone Ride Rite Rear Air Spring Install 2015-2019 F150 / jhacors vlogs

Firestone Air Springs help to improve steering control and braking effectiveness and match your vehicles load for an overall improved ride. Firestone Air Springs absorb road shock and adjust to varying loads for ideal ride conditions while the air cushion softens contact between the axle and the frame to reduce bottoming out. Includes everything you need for a quick installation.

Did my bags this morning! Followed your video step by step, very well done! Much appreciated, saved me a lot of money

[@jhacors]

I’m glad I was able to help😊

I like how you explained each step of the installation process. And you did everything in a simple way. I'm looking to buy the kit that has the compressor and the air tank, so that it will be easier for me to do the airing up and deflating of the airbags. You did a great job of showing us the installation of the air bags on your truck. Thank you 👍.

Great video. I ran my air lines separate to make sure each one had exactly the same air. And used the license plate screw holes it’s easier to get to.

[@cartersservices3134]

I was quoted 1700 and 1500 by 2 different shops with on board air. I’m going to order the kit and do it my self. Thanks for the video

Good vid!! Very easy job for the most part. One thing I might suggest to folks is use WD-40 to spray the threads of the bolts that hold the two small bumpers mounted on the bottom of the frame. I used an air wrench to remove them and one of the retaining nuts broke off from it's mount inside the frame channel. Luckily, there is an access hole on the inside of the frame to get to the retention nut for each small bumper. I have a Sthil chainsaw and the chain/bar wrench (socket) fits inside there real well to hold the nut. I was able to get the bolt, nut and bumper off that way. You may be better to spray the threads and remove the bumper bolts by hand vs an air wrench. Bottom line....if the threads of those two bolts are dirty/rusted and you break off the retention nut(s)....it can be a pain to remove the bolt and bumper.

Man, thank you so much for this video. Thanks to this video I was able to do it myself in my garage. Very simple task after watching the video. Appreciate it

Screwing air fitting into bag is easier if you do it before bolting bag to bracket. It swivels, so you can line it up to get it thru slot.

[@Whiskerdoo]

thanks man!! perfect how to video

[@jhacors]

Glad I was able to help👍

[@davewilson8308]

You made it look easy, getting this for my 2022 F150 if it ever comes in. Thanks!

[@jhacors]

This was an easy intall anyone can do it. Thanks for watching

[@davidirwin3672]

Great video, I now feel confident that I can install this on my own with no problems. Thanks

[@pooleo8]

The firestone kit is such a great product. The air lift brand is absolute garbage. It mounts inboard of springs with a real flimsy bracket, uses huge u bolts to hold it to the frame. I sent it right back and got the firestone. It's great!

[@Fishin_Alberta]

Really good video! I will be watching again when I install my set thanks

[@jhacors]

No worries, I hope you find it useful

[@leslattery3913]

Very good video of this install. Thanks

[@TheNeidrick]

Great video, did mine this morning.

[@trosspierson8023]

Great video!!!

[@darrylm3627]

Good Stuff, Great Tips👍🏿😀

[@jhacors]

Thanks

[@n.elliott9122]

I enjoyed your video. Just so happens I am close to buying Firestone 2286 kit. Are you still happy with your purchase?

[@jhacors]

Yes, still very happy, smooth ride even when pulling my trailer

[@rayrayfro4940]

I only pay $215 for mine is the same one you have putting into a 250 truck but thanks for the info I appreciate it it’s been a while since I’ve done one

[@robertament4006]

Good Video.

[@franky7830]

👌👌

[@user-wi8lz7tc2v]

My 2019 f150 has a 6” lift on it, some people are saying I need to add a spacer to cover the distance for the air bag, do you know anything about that, I didn’t see you add any

[@jhacors]

I did not add any since the spacer or the block for the lift is under the leaf springs, so your good to go

[@user-wi8lz7tc2v]

Awesome, thank you! Saved me some money😂

[@wyattburns6436]

What size leveling block is on your rear end springs? Looks pretty big..have you already leveled your truck?

[@jhacors]

That is for the 6 inch lift

[@hunterpignato4255]

I don’t understand why the spacer is for 2wd?? Nobody can answer this question

[@alexiscatano9046]

I was sure the spacer was for lifted trucks or leveled out trucks

[@jhacors]

Mine was lifted but I did not use the spacer

[@danzhyferolino2260]

Where did u install the low pressure sensor?

[@jhacors]

Low pressure sensor did not come with the kit

[@danzhyferolino2260]

So how are you able to put some air? Did u install a compressor with that?

[@timrichards7015]

You may not see this. But I was wondering the ride quality while empty or 5psi as suggested. Is it the same as it was or bouncy

[@jhacors]

It’s a little bit bouncy but you wont affect the ride quality, you’ll get used to it along the way

[@williamgowan9026]

What size rear block do you have?

[@jhacors]

That’s for my 6 inch BDS lift

Do you have the link for the "T"?

@@jhacors thanks so much. Great video btw.

[@jhacors]

Thank you so much! 👌

[@5thGenNativeTexan]

Great install info. I used this when I put Firestone air bags on my 2016 F-150. I opted to install an Air Lift Wireless compressor, just for the convenience. It can be controlled either from the Air Lift remote, or through the Air Lift app on my phone. kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5fHpoCthtuqnpY
