Firestone Air Helper Springs Available for New Dodge Sprinter
The Dodge Sprinter Ride-Rite kit offers maximum load support and ride comfort by using air pressure to adjust Firestone's durable springs to compensate for varying loads and road conditions.
Firestone Industrial Products Company has announced its Ride-Rite air helper spring kits are now available for the new Dodge Sprinter. The Dodge Sprinter Ride-Rite kit offers maximum load support and ride comfort by using air pressure to adjust Firestone's durable springs to compensate for varying loads and road conditions – maintaining a quality ride at all times. "The new Dodge Sprinter has more interior space, can seat up to 10 passengers and has extra storage facilities available when it is used as a mini-bus," said Paul Gibson, product manager, Firestone Industrial Products, Ride-Rite division. "This means additional weight can be carried inside the van, putting stress on the suspension. Firestone's Ride-Rite air helper springs keep the Sprinter's leaf springs from sagging under the extra weight and causing possible damage." Additionally, because Firestone's Ride-Rite kit works by keeping the vehicle level, it helps maintain brake effectiveness, reduce tire wear and bottoming out, level off-center loads and increase vehicle stability. A pair of Ride-Rite air springs can provide up to 5,000 pounds of load leveling capacity. Firestone's new Dodge Sprinter Ride-Rite kit is a no-drill kit and is easily installed. It comes with a two-year limited warranty and includes everything needed for installation. The system's reinforced double convoluted air springs install between the frame and the axle.
