Oops

[Mark G]

Here's what happens when you don't keep some air in the Firestone Ride Rites. I was able to fix them by raising the frame off the axle with a floor jack, inflating them to 100# and then gradually lowering the jack while reducing the pressure and massaging the bladder back down onto the cylinder.

Ha ha oops is rite! I brought my truck home from the shop one day and same thing. I must’ve looked like a cartoon with my eyeballs popping out. I Hooked a chain to my trailer hitch and lifted the back end off the ground with a gantry and popped them straight. I remember the guy who installed my bags said to not leave them at zero but have enough pressure to keep their shape

Ouch. I've always tried to keep at least 5psi in mine per the directions.

I wonder if the cradles would have prevented this. With the cradles they lift off the cradle instead of being stretched out.

Ouch is right,but good to know there is a way to salvage them.
