Inside of the spring you will find a flat washer, and you will need to make sure that your bolt threads through that flat washer.

• Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Recommendation for a 2004 GMC Sierra Ex Cab 4X4 1500
  
• While it is not required that you install an air-suspension system on your 2004 GMC Sierra extended cab 4x4 1500, it will most certainly help with the ride quality, handling and braking of your vehicle once installed and properly setup. I would recommend one for you as they do make a difference. With that being said, the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 # AL57286 that you referenced is designed for 3500, 2-wheel drive cab and chassis model trucks. You would want an Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 # AL57250

• Air Lift or Helper Spring Recommendation for a 2000 Ford F-250 Super Duty Towing a Camper Trailer
  
• The product that will work best for you will depend on how you will be using your truck and why you are looking for a suspension enhancement system. If you are looking to level your truck because you do a lot of hauling with varying load weights and tow the trailer occasionally then the air bags would work well. I would recommend using the Firestone Ride-Rite air helper springs, # F2330, or the Air Lift LoadLifter air springs, # AL57298, for 2 wheel drive or, # AL57390 for 4 wheel drive mode

• Air Pressure Requirements For Air Helper Springs to Level a 2002 GMC Sierra
  
• I can certainly provide you with the instructions for the Firestone Sport-Rite Air Helper Springs - Rear Kit, # F2320. You should inflate the springs to 50 psi, this will support a load of about 1,500 pounds. It is recommended that for the best ride, only inflate the springs enough to level the truck. Minimum inflation is 10 psi, maximum is 100 psi. The amount of air pressure in the springs will ultimately depend on the load. I have included a link to the instructions below. Page 4 discusses inf

• Air Springs and Weight Distribution with Sway Control Recommendations for a 2007 Jeep Liberty
  
• The correct suspension enhancement system for your 2007 Jeep Liberty is the Firestone Vehicle Suspension for the Jeep Liberty, # F4146, that you have referenced. I have included a link to the installation details below. Air springs are used primarily to keep a vehicle level with loads in the actual vehicle and less to compensate for a sagging vehicle from a heavy trailer tongue load. For heavy trailer loads, a weight distribution system is the better solution for a sagging tow vehicle. With

• Are Helper Springs Available for a 1999 Ford F-350 with a 4 Inch Lift
  
• First, we need to find out how your truck is configured. The 4 inch lift kit will not be a problem as long as your truck has not been fitted with aftermarket springs with the lift kit. In this case I would recommend that you go with a set of Super Springs, see link. The Super Springs will be working at all times to prevent body roll and enhance the suspensions ability. If your truck has dual gas tanks, some of the 1999 models still had this option, you will need to go with a shorter set of S

• Are SuperSprings Sold in Pairs or Single Units and How Do they Compare to Other Suspension Products
  
• The SuperSprings Custom Suspension Stabilizer and Sway-Control Kit, # SSA8MTKT, comes with two springs, one for each side of an axle. One benefit of SuperSprings is that they are customizable. You can adjust them to increase load support and ride height. Another setting is for a more OEM ride condition. And a third setting balances support, height, and ride comfort. I have included a link to the installation details below. The Timbren suspension enhancement units offer similar support for hea

• Are Timbren Vehicle Suspension Enhancement Springs Needed for 5th Wheel Towing, 1995 Dodge Ram 1500
  
• The vertical pin weight of a 5th wheel trailer should be between 15 and 20 percent. On an 8,000 pound trailer, that equates to 1,200 to 1,600 pounds pressing down on the bed of the 1995 Dodge Ram 1500. This is a fair amount of weight and will most likely cause some sag at the rear and suspension enhancement can help. The addition of springs like the Timbren Vehicle Suspension, # TDR1525H2, will help keep the truck level and absorb road shock when towing your 5th wheel trailer. They will also

• Availability of a Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Spring Kit # F2190 for the 2002 Chevrolet 1500
  
• I spoke with Firestone this afternoon and found some information for you. The 1500 series Chevrolet pickups do not have enough room between the springs and wheel and tire for the Ride-Rite kit, item # F2190. The diameter of the convoluted air bag is too large to fit. The Sport-Rite kit, item # F2320 does not require as much space to mount so it will fit on the 1500, with stock wheel and tire combination. You need to be sure you have 6 inches of clearance between the tire side wall and the vehic

• Yes, for the Firestone Sport-Rite Air Helper Springs, # F2449, you would need the Firestone Rear Air Spring, Tapered Sleeve, # F9001. The airbag by itself is not available but it is inside of the replacement spring. Make sure that your customer knows that the minimum psi for the system is 10psi and the max is 100 psi.

• Can a Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System Eliminate Vibration in a 2008 Acura MDX
  
• Once the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System, item # THROD2, is installed on the 2008 Acura MDX, the Aeon hollow rubber springs will not contact the bottom of the coil spring housing unless there is a load on or in the back of the vehicle, see installation instructions link below. This means that if the vibration you are referring to is present under normal operating conditions, not towing or carrying a load, the rubber springs will not help. In this case, I would have the vehicle susp

• Can Firestone Ride Rite Air Helper Springs # F2299 be Used with a 5th Wheel Kit on a 2005 Dodge 2500
  
• The rear Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs, # F2299, are the kit for your 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 Pickup with 4x4, long bed and diesel engine. The brackets for the air springs in this kit will bolt directly over the axle and inside of the truck frame, see photo link, so they will not interfere with 5th wheel installation. You can use the Reese Quick-Install Custom Base Rails and Installation Kit, # RP5140-58, for your truck. This kit will install with the brackets forward and rearward of th

• Can Suspension Enhancement be Added to a 2005 Dodge Ram with a Popup Gooseneck Trailer Hitch
  
• I am not familiar with the Pop Up Hitch Gooseneck Hitch but I did look over the instructions on their website. It looks as though the brackets on the hitch that attach to the frame rails on the truck mount to the inside of the rails. If this is the case, you will not be able to use the Firestone Suspension Enhancement, # F2299, because it, too, attaches to the inside of the frame rail. I have included a link to the installation details for the Firestone springs for reference. You may be able

• Comparing Load Sensing Shocks and Timbren Suspension Enhancement for a 2004 Dodge Dakota Quad Cab
  
• I think something like load sensing shocks would be better in situations where you frequently tow or carry various size and types of loads. But if you primarily will be towing the boat and do not often carry varying sized loads in the bed, the Timbren system, # TDDR00, would be the better choice. The Timbren system is probably going to be the more cost effect choice and there is not a lot that can go wrong with the system since there are basically no moving parts, electronics, or pneumatic el

• Comparing Timbren and Firestone Suspension Enhancement for a 2003 Ford F-250
  
• The main difference between Timbren suspension enhancement # TFR250SDE and # TFR350SDE is capacity. The 250 model has a 6,000 pound capacity and the 350 model has an 8,600 pound capacity. Since the pin weight of a 5th wheel is not normally as high as 6,000 pounds, the 250 system should work well. however, there is an issue. Most 5th wheel trailer hitches have brackets mounted to the outside of each frame rail. These brackets will interfere with a suspension system that installs on the same si
