During the episode, "Trucks!" hosts Kevin Tetz and Ryan Shand will install Firestone's Ride-Rite air helper springs kit on a 2012 Dodge Ram 2500 4WD truck (part # W217602299). The Ride-Rite kit, which mounts between the truck's frame and suspension, uses air pressure to maximize the truck's safe load carrying capacity, as well as improve vehicle stability and braking effectiveness. The show will demonstrate Firestone's no-drill Ride-Rite kits, which use the truck's factory holes for an easy installation.
"Trucks!" will also highlight Firestone's Heavy Duty Remote Air Command(tm) air accessory system (part # WR17602541), which is designed to provide an instant air source to Firestone's complete line of suspension solutions. The Heavy Duty Remote Air Command system allows users to increase or decrease air pressure from up to 50 feet away, letting drivers visually inspect a vehicle's ride height and air pressure while the vehicle is loaded. It comes with a heavy duty air compressor, an improved rechargeable remote, three memory settings, an electronic interface and sealed components.
Installation of the Heavy Duty Remote Air Command system will be made easier with Firestone's Air Accessory Mounting Kit (part # WR17602529), which allows the Air Command system to be pre-assembled and bolted onto the frame using bail clamps, and a Fuse Tap Kit (part # WR17602526) - a low-impact method for connecting the wire harness to the fuse box without splicing or soldering.
A pair of Ride-Rite air springs can provide up to 5,000 pounds of load leveling capacity. (Note: Air springs do not increase the load-carrying capacity of the vehicle. Do not exceed the vehicle's recommended Gross Vehicle Weight Rating [GVWR]).
Firestone offers a line of Complete Suspension Solutions for today's trucks that includes Ride-Rite(tm), Sport-Rite(tm), Coil-Rite(tm) and Level-Rite(tm) air helper springs; Work-Rite(tm) load assist springs; and the R4Tech(tm) hybrid air/leaf suspension system. These products have become synonymous with quality, durability and outstanding customer support.
