FirestoneW217602445 Ride-Rite Kit For Toyota Tundra

Good product

منتج جيد جدا ولاكن يا ليت يرجع سعرة مثل الفتره الماضيةوشكرا

I installed this Firestone Ride-rite kit on a 2017 Toyota Tundra Crewmax. I have a camper shell on the truck and at the minimum 5psi, it has leveled out the truck perfectly. I also tow both a light, 3100 lb camp trailer and 3000 lb boat. Previously, with either of these attached, the rear end sagged too much. This is what I really bought this kit for. Installation was easy, the instructions are very good to excellent. The parts kit was excellent too, it covered everything I needed. I did deviate from the instructions on one step, the cutting of the rubber bump stops. The rubber is very tough, good Toyota quality, so I loosened the U-bolts holding the axle to the leaf spring pack and removed the bump stops. Toyota recommends buying new U-bolts when these are removed. I chose not to and re-applied locking compound and re-torqued the nuts to 74 ft-lbs. I did have to loosen and bop the U-bolts into place with a dead blow hammer after I didn't get them aligned right the first time. The hardest part of the installation was the alignment of the upper plate and marking the lower plate. With the rear axle on jack stands, jacking the trailer hitch made this a lot easier on the passenger side. I also used a silver sharpie on the black mounting plate, black on black is too hard to see. I mounted the air valves on each side of the license plate lined up horizontally with the trailer connector and with the license plate removed, about 1-5/8 inches left and right from the big hole behind the license plate. Total time for the installation was about 5 hours, 3 for first (drivers) side and 2 for the 2nd.

Excellent product and installation instructions. Step by step instructions easy to follow. Has a do and a don’t and walks through troubleshooting. Very happy.

I am experiencing a slow leak, not sure what to do about it, hard to diagnose, burt when aired up these air bags work well, we haul a truck camper, and this is very necessary to have. Installation took me 2.5 hours, was not to difficult, except looking up to work is hard on the neck

I can't believe how quick and easy this was to install on my 2015 Tundra Double Cab. It took me about an hour and a half to install with a couple of deep well sockets. I did not remove the rear tires or the spare as recommended and not once during the install did I ever wish I had. Other than the spare getting in my way a time or two as I was sliding out from under the truck I never knew it was there. The instructions recommend cutting the jounce bumpers off with a reciprocating saw, however, I simply loosed the u-bolts holding the rear leaf springs to the axle and I completely removed them. This way I can go back to stock if I ever wanted to (not that I would).I opted to buy a union tee so I only have one fill valve and one hole drilled in the truck. Doing this makes filling them quick and easy but I won't be able to compensate for an uneven load in the bed. Since I bought these for towing a travel trailer that part doesn't concern me.All the parts looked great and feel and appear to be very high quality, I am very happy with my purchase.This kit has greatly improved my towing experience. With my trailer fully loaded I tow around 6500lbs with 700lbs of tongue weight and with about 25lbs of air in the bags my ride is level and smooth with no more hitch bounce.I wanted to update my review to include something important that I left out. In regards to your weight distribution hitch; hitch your trailer up, inflate your airbags to the height you want, THEN adjust and setup the hitch. Not doing this properly can negate some or all of the effects of the weight distribution hitch and while it *looks* like it might be set up right or it might *look* like it's doing its job, its not.....and you could find yourself in a hard braking situation with little to no traction on the front tires. I have also settled on 20 PSI while towing and this is what my hitch is adjusted to. After it's all setup right your hitching process should be as before. Lightly rest the trailer on the ball, lock the hitch in place, put your weight distribution bars on, drop the trailer the rest of the way down onto your hitch, THEN inflate the bags.The first thing you should do when unhitching is deflate the bags.

Pretty easy install and makes a world of difference when pulling a trailer!!! If I had one negative it would be you lose some ride comfort when not hooked to a trailer. Personally, I'd still recommend it!! There is about 8,000 lbs on the trailer in the pic for reference!!
