Firestone Industrial Products Company, LLC’s Work-Rite™ suspension solution is now available for a comprehensive list of Chevrolet, GMC, Dodge, Ford and Nissan pickup trucks, commercial vehicles and vans.  including the 2009 Dodge Ram 1500, Ford F-Series and Nissan Titan.

Work-Rite is an entry-level load management system featuring micro-cellular urethane load assist springs that are mounted to the vehicle’s frame to supplement the factory suspension.

The progressive load-deflection characteristics enable the Work-Rite load assist springs to absorb road shock, support weight and improve ride comfort for loaded vehicles.

When the vehicle is unloaded, Work-Rite won’t compromise the ride.

The Work-Rite springs are offered in three densities that provide three separate spring-rates identified by color – white for 1/2-ton trucks, gray for 3/4-ton trucks and black for 1-ton trucks.  They are available in two heights, 3.7 inches and 5.2 inches, so users can select the proper spring for their application.  A complete list of applications is available by vehicle at www.ride-rite.com.

“With six separate spring-and-stiffness combinations, our Work-Rite system is not a one-size-fits-all solution,” said Todd Green, regional sales manager, Firestone Industrial Products, Ride-Rite™ division.
