Firestone Ride Rite Install

Just received my Ride Rites and I plan on installing them this week. Any secrets or things learned by others who have them?

I just installed them two weeks ago. Love'em!

About the only thing to remember is that the bracket which attaches to the frame rail is side dependent (meaning there is a left and right side bracket).

Very simple install.

Good luck!

why get them, they make a real difference if you tow just 3-4 hrs per week?

The install is very easy and straight forward. The hardest part for me was routing the air lines and choosing a spot to put the fill valves. They are one of the best mods that I have done!

I got them for when towing our Bobcats and also for hauling heavy loads. With tongue heavy load on a trailer or load in the bed they are worth their weight in gold to me.
