Air Suspension for Your Pickup
If you tow a lot or own a dedicated tow rig, check out the new R4Tech suspension system from Firestone. The setup rides like an air suspension but installs like a leaf-spring suspension. It replaces the rigid leaf springs with a hybrid air-over-leaf suspension design that improves ride quality while unloaded, and increases vehicle stability when loaded. This system also reduces wheelhop or shudder during hard acceleration. Utilizing factory holes to be a completely bolt-on installation, the R4Tech suspension systems are available for many popular Ford, Chevy, and Dodge pickup applications.
