Firestone Industrial Products to Display Wireless Air Command Kit App at 2018 SEMA Show

Firestone Industrial Products Co. will showcase its Ride-Rite Air Command kit app along with air spring kits at the 2018 SEMA Show.

Firestone Industrial Products Co. (FSIP) will showcase its newest Firestone Ride-Rite Air Command kit app along with air spring kits designed for use on the 2017/2018 Ford F250/350 4WD, 2019 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500 models at the 2018 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show from Oct. 30 through Nov. 2 in Las Vegas.

The Firestone Ride-Rite wireless Air Command kit app allows customers to modify their air spring settings remote-free from their mobile device. Air springs can be monitored directly from the app, providing customers with an easier solution to control air pressure. The app works hand-in-hand with the electronic control unit (ECU) to manage air spring pressure in real time. The Firestone Ride-Rite Air Command kit 2610 is a single-leveling system that integrates with the app and is designed with a two-wire hookup for easy installation.

FSIP will also display the newest Firestone Ride-Rite air spring kit offerings for the 2017/2018 Ford F250/350 4WD and 2019 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500 models. Featuring a no-drill installation, the kits install in 90 minutes and do not interfere with common in-bed hitches, Firestone says. The kits are designed to protect and stabilize loads, offer a more comfortable ride and reduce the chance of bottoming out.

“As a company dedicated to developing anti-vibration technology through the entire development process – from sourcing natural rubber to engineering and manufacturing – Firestone is uniquely positioned to provide durable and innovative solutions that keep our customers running smoothly,” said Graham Brookes, director of technology for FSIP. “Our air spring kits eliminate the need for an internal jounce bumper, typically used to reduce vibration and absorb shock and provide our customers with built-in technology for a more advanced air spring.”

The Ride-Rite products will be featured in the New Product Showcase at SEMA. To learn more, visit Booth 33031 located in the South Upper Hall at the 2018 SEMA Show. For more information on FSIP, visit www.firestoneip.com. For more information on Ride-Rite solutions, visit riderite.com.
