Ride-Rite Air Bags

We now have the Firestone Ride-Rite air bags installed and one nice benefit of them is how stable the coach is sitting on the park. Setup is no different than any other time, leveled with jacks, etc., just no movement when walking around in the MH.

Oh and the ride is great with them, seems a whole lot softer on the F53 drive train/frame.

I do not have air brake system in my MH. I assume that I would need to install an air pump/compressor to support the installation of these airbags?

The air bags can be installed in a few different ways including a couple that require a compressor kit to be added. We went for no compressor, manual fill using an air hose and having a separate line for each air bag so we can control the pressure at each corner of the MH.
