Great product! Screwed in 20 minutes and I.

Great product! I bolted it on in 20 minutes and I'm sure it will hold up as well as any other Firestone kit I've had over the years.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Great for towing: shocks, struts and suspension

This setup really helps tow my caravan and puts my headlights where they should be. I connected it to Daystar tote bags via the leaf springs so I wouldn't rip the bags off-road.

Pros
  • great product
Cons
  • no automatic

Not suitable for 2017 F350.

Does not fit 2017 F350 as described. The carriage bolts are not long enough to bypass the leaf springs. I'll see if I can find longer ones locally, otherwise I'll have to send them back. Also, a note on this product: you will need to trim the wheel arch liner for a correct fit if you have the platinum liner. These efforts will pay off.

Pros
  • Large Fits me
Cons
  • Zero

The bottom brackets on the leaf springs keep slipping forward causing the spring to be askew!

The bottom brackets of the leaf springs are constantly moving forward, causing the spring to be crooked. The main mounting bolts are too short when used with a Ford fifth wheel. The response from tech support was: Look for longer screws. They come off and I'll buy a set of airlift springs like I should. Garbage!

Pros
  • The best in its niche
Cons
  • Clarity

High quality shock, strut and suspension components

Assembled and installed very well using conventional mechanical tools. If you are NOT mechanical by nature, I highly recommend going to a specialty shop for installation. I haven't hauled a heavy load with it yet, so I won't comment on that now. I expect them to work as advertised. The material and components feel premium, and the Firestone brand, particularly the Ride-Rite version, has a reputation for being premium.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Poorly thought out

The kit was easy to install and works well with my onboard air.

I installed them on a 2017 Ford F-350 and mainly tow a camper with a 3400 lb saddle wheel. The kit was easy to install and works well with my onboard air compressor. After the installation we went on a long hike through about half the country. After my first day of riding I noticed that the bracket that goes on top of the leaf springs is no longer centered and the airbags are not aligned with the top bracket. No big deal, I loosened the supplied carriage bolts, adjusted the bottom bracket and…

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • old
