Firestone Industrial Products Announces New Ride-Rite Kit for 2009 Ford F-150
INDIANAPOLIS – Firestone Industrial Products Company, LLC offers its no-drill Ride-Rite air helper spring kit for the new 2009 Ford F-150.

INDIANAPOLIS – Firestone Industrial Products Company, LLC offers its no-drill Ride-Rite air helper spring kit for the new 2009 Ford F-150. Firestone’s Ride-Rite kit mounts between the truck’s frame and the suspension to assist in maximizing the pickup’s safe load carrying capacity, stability, and ride quality. The air helper springs are also designed to help level off-center loads by using individual inflation valves for separate side-to-side or front-to-rear adjustment.
The no-drill application uses the truck’s factory holes and includes all the components necessary for installation, which usually takes less than one hour, including the brackets, air springs, hardware, air lines, and separate valves. The kit comes with a two-year limited warranty.
Firestone also offers the Air-Rite air accessory system to complement the 2009 F-150 Ride-Rite kit, which enables drivers to make instant air pressure adjustments with the push of a button installed on the dashboard. A pair of Ride-Rite air springs can provide up to 5,000 pounds of load leveling capacity.
Trained technicians are available toll-free to answer any product application, installation, or warranty questions Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. EST. For more information, visit www.ride-rite.com.
