Today we're going to be taking a look at the Firestone coil rite line of air helper springs. Be sure to see eTrailer's fit guide for your application.Our springs are designed for a wide variety of vehicles. They're going to fit most passenger vehicles, vans, some light duty pickup trucks and motor homes. Whenever you haul a heavy load, have a lot of equipment in your vehicle or have a heavy trailer hooked up to it, it's going to cause the back end to sag down which is putting a lot of strain on your rear suspension, not to mention you're taking the contact off the front tires and misalignment your headlights. Our coil rite springs are going to take a lot of that effect out and help the sag in the rear end.Your air springs may look a little bit different than we have here, so you want to make sure you check each other's fit guide for your specific application, but these are going to provide us a smoother ride for vehicles that have coil springs in the back. They're designed to fit inside the spring, which is going to create a variable spring rate and help prevent the sag when we're loaded down and take stress off the rear suspension.
Our springs are going to be made out of a polyurethane, so they're going to be durable and last a long time. They are rated for working in temperatures from negative 40 degrees Fahrenheit all the way up to 180 degrees Fahrenheit. Each set is designed to support 500 to 1000 pounds and having an operating range of five PSI all the way up to 35 PSI.One thing I do want to mention is that our coil rite springs are not going to increase the payload of our vehicle. They're just there to help support the extra weight. So you always want to double check your vehicle's owner's manual and never exceed the manufacturer's recommended weight.Compared to other style of EHRs springs these are specifically made for the coil spring suspension, opposed to the leaf spring where that would sit on top.
These are gonna help out a lot with the SAG and prevent bottoming out and give us a smoother ride even when we're unloaded.Our kit's gonna come with two manual inflation valves. That way the bags can work independently from each other so we can inflate each one to our desired amount. That's going to help a lot with those off center loads, or if we take an evasive maneuver, it's going to take out some of that body roll. Our helper spring kits is going to come with everything you need to get it installed. Both springs, any brackets necessary, the lines, and the inflation valves.Ryan wrote in saying the install was easy on his 2014 FJ cruiser.
A year later he wrote back in and saying after a year of regular use, the bags had been great. They keep as FJ level where he's towing, and as a result, the steering while towing is vastly better.If you've had the back end of your vehicle sag down, rough ride, uneven tire wear, or even misaligned headlights our coil rite springs are going to help out a lot. All while giving us a smoother ride.
I have these on my diesel 1500 Dodge I've had them for about 2 years they still work they still hold air haven't had a problem with wear and tear on the bags themselves at all
We love to hear this! Thank you for sharing your personal feedback with us and others!

I undercoat with woolwax, will this degrade the air spring?
Firestone doesn't recommend covering their air springs or the coil springs they fit into with undercoat.

Is the air bag suppose to touch the top of the assembly? We installed these & they are not touching when inflation to 30 psi… ?
The air bag may not touch the top of the assembly. They are designed to expand out and limit the travel of the coil springs.

Looking forward to trying these👍
wouldn't it be better to swap out the stock coilover with heavier duty coilover spring?
This is a great option if you did not want the stiffness all the time.

@@etrailer I thought of that after my initial comment. I was thinking more of a long term carrying a load situation but for everyday vehicle allowing the adjustability makes sense. Thanks!
How often you need to fill them?
You will just increase and decrease the amount of air pressure in them for the load that you are hauling. You should not be losing air. In the hotter and colder months, your air pressure may fluctuate slightly.www.etrailer.com/Vehicle-Suspension/Firestone/f29zr.html
@@etrailer How do you determine the presure for the load weight? Hauling vs trailer pulling? Thanks
Will these work on a 2020 4runner SR5 4x4 with Bilstein 1" lift springs in the rear

Does it fit on a toyota yaris 07??

Does anyone know if they have a set for a 98 grand cherokee?
There sure is! Check out the following link to our website to see an air helper springs kit that is designed to fit your 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

I wonder how these hold up inside coil springs? Do to all that stress and spring is going up and down all the time, do they wear out and rob through? Wonder how long they lost? Please anybody that had this for while let me know. Thanks
These air bags hold up great! We have had them on a few vehicles of employees and not one single issue for the past few years.

Do these work well for offroad use? Like for Jeeps?
This part isn't specifically for Jeeps but we do have suspension enhancement that would probably fit yours. What's the year, make, and model of your Jeep?
etrailer.com ‘14 Rubicon 2dr
@@Syzygy77 The Firestone Coil-Rites that fit the 2014 Wrangler actually don't fit the Rubicon model. But we have a similar product from Air Lift www.etrailer.com/Vehicle-Suspension/Air-Lift/AL60817.html
They're designed to level the Jeep when towing or adding weight that causes the suspension to sag. They can be used when off-road but they're not an off-road air suspension per se, if that's what you're looking for.
Thanks
We are happy to help! Check out the following link for more information on this set of air helper springs.
