Firestone 2878 Ride-Rite AIO Wireless Air Helper Spring Kit 15-24 Ford F-150 5K

Vehicle Fitment

• 2015-2024 Ford F-150 (2WD; all cab configurations; all bed lengths) - Confirmed fitment
• 2015-2024 Ford F-150 (4WD; all cab configurations; all bed lengths) - Confirmed fitment
• NOT compatible with Ford F-150 Raptor models
• NOT compatible with F-150 models equipped with factory self-leveling headlights
• NOT compatible with F-150 models with the factory Scale Package option
• Requires minimum 8" of frame-to-tire clearance for proper air spring installation

Application Notes

• This is the All-In-One (AIO) wireless kit - it includes air springs, a wireless Air Command F3 compressor, mounting hardware, air lines, and all accessories required for a complete installation in one box. No additional components need to be purchased separately for a functioning system.
• The Firestone 2878 is designed as an addition to the factory suspension - it does not replace the factory leaf springs or coil springs. The Ride-Rite air springs mount between the vehicle's frame and rear suspension and supplement the factory springs when a load is applied, preventing sag and maintaining factory ride height under payload and towing conditions.
• Air spring mounting is a no-drill installation using the F-150's factory holes. Drilling may be required when installing the Air Command compressor, depending on mounting location preference.
• The wireless Air Command F3 system allows air pressure adjustments from inside the cab or via a remote without the need to connect an external air source or leave the vehicle.
• Individual inflation valves allow for independent side-to-side pressure adjustment, enabling the driver to level the vehicle under off-center or asymmetric loads.
• At minimum air pressure (5 PSI), the air springs have minimal effect on ride quality, allowing the truck to ride close to stock without the stiffness associated with fully inflated helper springs.
• Verify the 8" frame-to-tire clearance requirement and confirm the absence of the Raptor, self-leveling headlight, and Scale Package options on your specific truck before ordering.

Features

• Up to 5,000 lb load-leveling capacity (per pair) - the air spring pair rated at 3,200-5,000 lbs provides support at the rear axle to counter squat under payload and towing loads up to the F-150's maximum trailer and payload ratings, keeping the truck level and maintaining headlight aim, handling geometry, and braking effectiveness.
• Wireless Air Command F3 compressor - the included single-path wireless compressor allows air pressure to be adjusted from the cab via wireless remote, eliminating the need to connect an external air supply or manually adjust valves at the rear axle during loading and unloading cycles. The no-drill mounting plate integrates the compressor without permanent modification to the truck.
• Double convoluted air spring design - the Ride-Rite springs mount between the frame and rear suspension, utilizing air pressure to provide progressive support that increases with load. As pressure is added, the springs stiffen and resist compression, maintaining ride height under heavier loads without affecting ride quality when empty or lightly loaded at low pressure.
• Individual side-to-side pressure adjustment - separate inflation valves for left and right air springs allow independent pressure control for leveling under asymmetric loads - a fifth wheel offset to one side, or cargo loaded unevenly in the bed.
• Eliminates rear suspension squat - when towing or hauling, the factory leaf spring suspension allows the rear of the truck to sag under load, degrading handling, reducing front tire contact, raising headlights above proper alignment, and reducing tongue weight capacity. The Ride-Rite system counters this sag and returns the truck to its designed ride height.
• Reduces inter-leaf friction - air springs supplement the factory leaf springs, reducing the amount of load carried through the metal-on-metal leaf spring contact surfaces and lowering the friction-induced harshness associated with heavily loaded factory suspension.
• All-In-One convenience - the 2878 bundles the Ride-Rite air spring kit and Air Command F3 wireless compressor kit under a single part number, eliminating the need to identify and purchase compatible individual components separately. All components are engineered together for compatibility.
• Designed, engineered, and assembled in the USA - Firestone Industrial Products manufactures the Ride-Rite line domestically.
• Typical installation time: 1-2 hours for the air springs; additional time required for compressor installation and wiring.

Product Description

The Firestone 2878 Ride-Rite All-In-One Wireless Kit is the complete rear air helper spring solution for the 2015-2024 Ford F-150 - a single part number that bundles Firestone's vehicle-specific Ride-Rite air springs with the Air Command F3 wireless compressor and every fitting, line, mounting bracket, and hardware item needed for a full installation. For F-150 owners who tow trailers, haul payload in the bed, or carry a camper, the problem is consistent: the factory leaf spring suspension allows the rear of the truck to sag under load, raising the front wheels' effective contact pressure, angling the headlights upward, and reducing tongue weight capacity and handling confidence. The Ride-Rite air springs mount between the F-150's frame and rear suspension using the factory bolt holes - no drilling required for spring installation - and counter that sag by adding adjustable air pressure support that can be tuned to the load being carried.

The wireless Air Command F3 compressor is what separates the 2878 AIO kit from a standard Ride-Rite spring-only kit. Rather than manually inflating the air springs with an external air source before each towing or hauling session, the F3 compressor onboard the truck allows pressure adjustment from inside the cab via wireless remote. Load up the bed, press the button to bring the rear back to level, and adjust again when unloaded - without leaving the vehicle or connecting an external pump. The system supports 5-100 PSI of adjustable pressure across its range, and individual left/right inflation valves allow side-to-side pressure adjustment for asymmetric loads. At 5 PSI - the minimum pressure Firestone recommends - the springs contribute minimal additional stiffness and the truck rides close to factory character when empty.

The 2878 is not compatible with F-150 Raptor models, trucks with factory self-leveling headlights, or trucks equipped with the factory Scale Package option. A minimum of 8" of frame-to-tire clearance is required for the air springs to mount properly. Compressor installation may require drilling at the mounting location. Designed, engineered, and assembled in the USA by Firestone Industrial Products - the same company behind Firestone's commercial vehicle and industrial air spring lines - the Ride-Rite system is backed by Firestone's product warranty.
