Firestone 2330 Ride-Rite Air Spring Kit Review

I tow a heavy 5th wheel with a 2003 F350 and this kit was able to raise my hitch to level the RV which distributes the load over the RV axles. I have a Reese Signature hitch and I had to remove the side plates on the frame in order to install the air bags which adds a bit to the install time and the side plates reinstalled without any interference to the bolt heads used to attach the air bag brackets since the frame joggles in just enough to clear the bolt heads. An alternative would be to drill a large hole in each side plate to allow the bolt to go through but I think that would have been more work and would weaken the side plates. I wanted to connect both air lines together but the kit did not have a Y fitting so I had to buy one. This allowed me to install a single air valve next to the fuel filler hose inside the fuel access door which allows me to use my small air compressor that plugs into my cigarette lighter. The recommended location in the rear would have been too far away for the power cord on my compressor to reach. If you do this do not cut the air line in half since one side will be a longer run than the other. I ran the long line first and cut it when I knew the needed length which left enough for the shorter run. I run about 50 psi to obtain the desired height. Be aware that 20 psi when unhitched becomes 45 psi when hitched with about 3500 lbs hitch weight.
