Firestone Industrial Products offers Ride-Rite air helper springs for Isuzu N-Series cab forward trucks
RSS Feed

Indianapolis, Ind. - Firestone Industrial Products Co., LLC has announced its Ride-Rite air helper springs are now available for 2005-2008 Isuzu N-Series cab forward trucks, both Regular Cab and Crew Cab.


The Isuzu cab forward Ride-Rite kit maximizes the truck's load support to improve its ride quality and stability by using air pressure to adjust Firestone's air helper springs.  

 
 "Our Ride-Rite air helper springs help smooth the ride by compensating for varying load and road conditions to 'cushion' the movement of the axle beneath the driver," said Paul Gibson, product manager, Firestone Industrial Products, Ride-Rite division.


Isuzu N-Series cab-forward trucks - which are used in various industries such as electrical contracting, food service, landscaping, and delivery services - often carry heavy loads that weigh down the truck.  Firestone's Ride-Rite kit provides extra support to safely and comfortably haul heavy loads.


In addition to smoothing the ride, Firestone's Ride-Rite systems help maintain braking effectiveness, reduce tire wear, level off-center loads - individual inflation valves allow for separate side-to-side adjustment - and increase vehicle stability. 

 
A pair of Ride-Rite air springs provides up to 5,000 pounds of load leveling capacity.  (Note: Air springs do not increase the load-carrying capacity of the vehicle. Do not exceed the vehicle's recommended Gross Vehicle Weight Rating [GVWR]).


Firestone's Isuzu Ride-Rite kit includes everything needed for an easy installation that typically takes between one and two hours and comes with a two-year limited warranty.  The system's reinforced double convoluted air springs install between the frame and the axle. 

 
The Air-Rite air accessory system, which enables drivers to make air pressure adjustments with a push of a button installed on the dashboard, is also available to complement the Isuzu Ride-Rite kit.
