Firestone 2286 Rear Ride-Rite Air Spring Kit fits 2002-2008 Dodge Ram 1500 2WD 4WD | Up to 5000 lbs of Load-Leveling Capacity | No Drill Installation | W217602286

My 2007 Ram 1500 4X4 is a great truck, but was a little weak on the rear suspension with much of a load. I've been wanting to beef it up and don't know why I waited so long. These Ride Rite air bags are fantastic. I really can't express how easy they were to install. They are literally made for this truck.I used my floor jack on the hitch to raise the rear end about 2 inches, unbolted the factory overload stops, and these things just went right in. I didn't even remove the rear wheels. The clamp bolts have long threads which took a lot of wrenching, but everything went right in easily. Absolutely no drilling.Connecting the air lines was SO simple as well. Cut the air line to length and push into the fittings. Done. No leaks.Everything you need is well thought out and provided - and good quality stuff. The only thing not provided, and isn't necessary, is a tee, which can allow easy one-valve filling of both bags. I may add this some time, but it's not a big deal.My truck can now tow our camper without the slightest squat, and it handles a lot better as well. Even without a load at 7 PSI in them, it seems to feel better on rough roads.I really can't say enough good about these. I hope they last.Photo is of the drivers side, rear view.

If hour in the market for a air bag system this is the one...everything you need to install is I. This kit...I bought a 1/4" T so I only have one hole it drill in my bumper!!! Great product

I ordered this kit for my 2006 Ram 1500. Install only took about two hours, some of which was spent fiddling with my tools and the weathered bolts on my truck. Some pre set up could save quite a bit of time. Install was easy and fairly uncomplicated. Parts for right where they should. The only drawback i will mention was the heat shield on the passenger side was too difficult to mount as it was cut just a little bit off and blocked the mounting bolt installation to the frame. No big deal though, a small spot weld took care of that. Some jb weld would work as well. You just have to play with the fit. The ride is noticeably better! Especially under load. I pull a 30' travel trailer and the air bags make a world of difference! Totally worth it for a more secure ride.

Very pleased with final outcome. After reading reviews before purchase, I sprayed down the bump stop bolts several times before trying to remove, came out perfect. Only issue was having to make small modifications to the passenger side heat shield to get it to sit between the bag and exhaust pipe.

Fairly easy to install. It took me about 3 hours, but I don't have air tools, and I'm not a mechanic. Didn't need to jack up my 06 Ram 1500 for installation. Also, didn't need to keep the bags depressed to install. One small issue: the brass push connect fittings are easy to use, but part of the instructions say to cut a 6" piece and attach the air chuck to the other end to keep the bags depressed for install. Turns out those brass fittings are super hard to release when they are up inside the guts of the truck. Save yourself the time and don't put the small pieces on the airbag. Also, the instructions aren't the most helpful. I found a YouTube video that helped a lot. But even that doesn't really spell it out that much. 1. Attach the bag to the frame, then put the Ubolt around the springs, then attach around the axle.

Bolt right up good quality material. Didn’t take long to install. Doesn’t take much psi to add the lift you need while towing. My truck was bottoming out pulling pumps and they are Tongue heavy due to how they are made for pumping and 7,000 lbs total wait and with about 30psi in each truck sits level. Very pleased

Installed on 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 single cab. Did not need to take off the wheels, did not need to compress the bag just jack up the back and everything fell into place. The bolts are long to accommodate lift kits so it takes some wrenching to get them tight. I was impressed that all dimensions of the mounting brackets were perfect. Installation time of the bags is probably 1.5 hours, installation of the tubing another hour.

I paid for a mechanic to install these, so I can't speak to ease of installation for me, but he said it was simple. They really even out my truck while towing now. I use it commercially to tow sod, mulch, rock, block, etc. And these hold up 100%. Feels like riding on air now and no squatted truck bed. I am very pleased.

Awesome air bags and easy install. However, it was missing 1 bolt and 2 nuts, luckily I was able to find replacements in my stash. Also my tucks jouncer bolts snapped when I removed them and with this kit you are required to use them and I had already bolted the top plate to the air bag. With the bolts snapped off I decided I’d weld the plate to the frame and bolt the plate onto the airbag after (just barely enough room to do that) because I didnt want to melt the air bag from welding. But the bolt just spun in the air bag when I went to undo the nut. So I realize my trucks weak jouncer bolts is not the sellers problem, it’s just unfortunate the bolts just spun on the airbag so I couldn’t remove them. Instead I soaked a wet towel around the rubber of the airbag and welded the top plate on (carefully so I wouldn’t electrocute myself). Over all I love the product and even with looking for missing hardware and dealing with snapped bolts and trying to find a way to weld it on without wrecking anything I still had them both on and pumped up with air in 1.5 hours. The bottom plates bolt on beautifully.

Installation facile cependant il est déplorable de voir que les instructions n’était pas disponible en français.J’ai du me débrouiller.

Super easy instal. Very straight forward. What a difference in ride, towing and empty. Mounts are all thick. Bolts seem to be good quality. Parts bag was I'm guessing popped during transit spilling everything over the box. Box was damaged with about a 3inch hole in it. Luckily nothing was damaged it was right between where both airbags were sitting. Ended up only loosing one washer. Over all super pleased.

Unolts bent and missing 2 nut over all not a great set up others out there would be a way better choice for your money I'd shop around befor purchase of this product

The bags are great
