• What Complete Air Bags Can I Control from the Cab of My 2021 Ford F-350 Super Duty with In-Bed Hitch
  Since you are transporting a fifth-wheel trailer, I assume you are looking for rear-axle air bags. We only carry Firestone-brand Ride Rite air bags that will work with 4-wheel drive models of 2021 Ford F-350 Super Duties with an in-bed hitch. That is the Firestone Rebel # F95FV. Apart from the 7,500-pound load-leveling weight capacity, the springs help prevent sagging while towing. They are also 100% made in the U.S.A. As far as compatibility, these air bags work with a fifth-wheel hitch...

• Helper Spring Recommendation for 2016 Ram 3500 With 5th Wheel Hitch
  If you're simply looking for less sag and more support when you're towing your 5th wheel a bump stop replacement suspension helper spring option like the SumoSpring # SSR-312-54 would be a great choice. The SumoSprings won't really come into play until the 5th wheel's pin weight is applied to the rear axle or there's a load carried in the bed of the truck. On the plus side, there's nothing to leak and no maintenance is required. On the down side, the system offers no adjustability, so it's...

• Air Bag and Compressor Kit Recommendation for 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500 Trailboss
  Hey Scott, so we have found that the Firestone air bags are the highest quality overall so what I would recommend for your 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500 Trailboss is the part # F2609 and you'd have the nicest setup around. For a compressor kit that would allow you to keep the bags maintained at the right pressure while travelling a heavy duty kit like the Firestone Air Command II part # F2219 would be a great option.

• Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for 2012 Ram Mega Cab with Reese Elite/Ford Puck Pattern
  Reese made the aftermarket puck system you are referring to and also created the puck system for Ford. The system you reference is called the Reese Elite Underbed # RP30074 and will be compatible with the Ford Prep Package hitches. For the best towing experience, I recommend using the Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider - Ford Super Duty Prep Package - 18K # DM8550024. This will fit in the pucks and also give you the automatic sliding to provide proper turning clearance...

• Will Roadmaster Active Suspension Raise the Back of 2018 Ford F-150
  Installation of the RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit # RAS3611-Y on your 2018 Ford F-150 can raise the back end of the truck a little. According to RoadActive, it is likely you won't even notice but at most you are looking at about an inch. However, if your suspension is worn the lift may be more significant with the added support from the RAS system. If you have a 4WD model then the # RAS3611-Y is the correct kit for your truck. If you have the 2WD then you will...

• Recommended Air Helper Springs for 2011 Ford F250 Equipped With B&W Turnover Ball Gooseneck Hitch
  The Firestone # F2597 Ride-Rite system is what I'd recommend. The system is compatible with an in-bed gooseneck or 5th wheel hitch, and Firestone uses a superior roll crimp to join the bag to the upper and lower plates rather than steel bands like AirLift does. This makes for a stronger joint between the two that's much much less likely to fail over time. You might also be interested in an on-board compressor system. If the loads carried in the bed or the pin weight/tongue weight of...

• Comparing The Ride Of Ram 2500 HD Versus 3500 HD For Towing And When Not Towing
  The ride on the Ram 2500 HD will be more comfortable than the ride of the 3500 HD due to the coil suspension on the 2500 versus the leaf spring suspension on the 3500. With that being said, you will have more squat with the 2500 when the trailer is hooked up. You can put an aftermarket air bag system on the truck and deflate it to a minimal level when not towing to get a more comfortable ride. You could then inflate it to help when the truck is placed under a heavier load such as when...

• Recommended Air Bags for 2021 Ram 2500 4x4
  I recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Double Convoluted - Rear Axle # F2598 for your 2021 Ram 2500. Firestone is known for their quality and construction which is a step above Air Lift. These air bags will prevent sag and improve ride quality. You will also be able to let the air out to the minimum psi when not towing or hauling so there will be no impact on ride quality. They have 4 layers of reinforced rubber and use a braided wire girdle to create a double-convoluted...

• Recommended Solution to Help With Chucking While Towing 5th Wheel That Already Has FlexAir Pin Box
  First off, thank you for being a repeat etrailer.com customer! We definitely appreciate you coming back to us. With that said, I may have a solution for you, but air bags are not the answer for this since it's not your vehicle's suspension system that is causing this. Chucking and jarring while towing a 5th wheel trailer (or any trailer for that matter) is unavoidable because the trailer itself is not one piece with your vehicle. When your truck starts to move forward from a stop your trailer...

• Why Does The Level Command II Have A Inflate And Deflate Button On Each Side
  The reason why the Level Command II, # F2219 has an inflate and deflate button on each side is because, it is designed to allow you to adjust each air bag independently of the other. This feature for drivers that frequently carry various types of loads in the truck.

• Rear Anti-Sway Bar for 2011 Georgetown 360 Motorhome on a Ford F-53 V10 Chassis and 22K GVWR
  The correct rear anti-sway bar for the 2011 Ford F-53 motorhome chassis V10 rated for 22,000 pounds is # RM-1139-149. Check to ensure there is enough factory u-bolt available to accommodate the factory nut, washer and 1/2" plate. If the u-bolts are not long enough, the # RM-590050-00 u-bolt replacement kit is needed; sold separately. I have linked a video showing an example installation for you. Rear anti-sway bar # 1139-144 only fits up to the 2005 Ford F-53 chassis.

• Recommended Air Bag Helper Springs For a 2024 Chevy Silverado 3500
  I recommend using the Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs # F2709. These are our most durable, heavy duty air bags for your 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 3500. They are rated up to 7,500lbs of capacity which is higher than the payload on your Silverado. Do understand these do not increase your payload or towing capability, they simply make it safer to tow by reducing rear end sag and body roll. The Firestone Air Command II # F2219 will allow you to adjust the air...

• Suspension Enhancement for 2023 GMC Sierra 1500 That Won't Hurt Unloaded Ride Quality
  The best option for your 2023 GMC Sierra 1500 is going to be the air bags. These will give you the most overall support and have no impact on ride quality whatsoever when they're at the minimum psi. Another great thing about air bags is the adjustability. You can set them for the perfect amount of support to tow your travel trailer, then add additional air pressure when towing your tractor. Firestone makes the best air bags available so I recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite # F2609. If...

• Are There AirLift Air Bags Compatible with B&W Turnoverball 1108 on 2006 Ford F-350
  I have a solution for you, but there are not AirLift airbags available that will work with your B&W Turnoverball # BWGNRK1108 system on a 2006 Ford F-350. However, there is the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Double Convoluted - Rear Axle # F2400 which are similar to the AirLift bags and will give you an air bag system that's compatible with your Turnoverball's brackets. If you also need a compressor system to keep the bags aired up then you can use the Firestone Air Command...

• Which Air Bags for 2021 Ram 3500 Cab and Chassis
  I may have a solution for you to add airbags to your 2021 Ram 3500 Cab and Chassis, but AirLift does not make an air bag solution for this truck. You'll want to measure the distance from the outside of the frame to the inside of the tire and make sure it is at least 8", and as long as that is the case you can use the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Double Convoluted - Rear Axle # F2478. These Firestone bags are a confirmed fit on your 3500 cab and chassis with the diesel engine...

• Operation of the Firestone Air Compressor Kits
  When using the Firestone Automatic, Single-Gauge Pneumatic Height-Control Valve w/ Compressor # F2186-2047 you choose the height that the bags are filled to. The "automatic" system is just maintaining the pressure that you choose, so essentially you are manually adjusting them, the compressor is just keeping it where you want it. If you are looking for more control, we have the Firestone Air Command II - Analog Gauge w/ Heavy Duty Compressor # F2219. The # F2219 allows you to manually...

• Does Firestone Ride Rite Kit part # F22ZR Come with Compressor to Control Pressure
  The Firestone Ride Rite systems like the part # F22ZR do not come with compressors to control the air pressure from within the cab of the truck. That is something you would need to get separately like with the Firestone # F2219. With just the air bag kit you can control the pressure in the bags with the air valve that would get mounted on the vehicle bumper typically.

• Are the Firestone Ride Rite Red Label Air Bags for 5000-lbs and 7500-lbs the Same Size
  The only difference between the Firestone Ride Rite Red Label 5000-lbs Air Bags # F35FV and the 7500-lbs Air Bags # F95FV is the material that they are constructed with; both air bags will be the same size, but the 7500-lbs air bags are constructed with a heavier duty rubber. This was confirmed with my tech contact over at Firestone. If you want to add an on-board air compressor system to this setup, the Firestone Air Command II # F2219 is a great choice that comes with analog gauges to...

• Air Bag Suspension Recommendation for 2020 Ford F350 4x4 DRW
  For your F350 Dually, I'd recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite # F35FV. The kit has a 5000 lb capacity, features a no-drill installation and is compatible with an in-bed gooseneck or 5th wheel hitch. I'd also recommend an on-board compressor system like # F2219. A compressor system will give you real time at your fingertips control of your air bags so you can fine tune the air pressure in the system to the load you're carrying. The # F95FV air spring system you've looked at is compatible...

• What Rear Air Bags and Compressor do You Recommend for My 2022 Chevy Silverado 5500?
  I have a great option for you. However, I confirmed with Air Lift that they do not have a rear axle air bag system that is confirmed to fit your 2022 Chevy Silverado 5500. Although, with that being said, Firestone has a Ride-Rite kit that works. That is the Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle # F56ZR. This Red Label kit provides a huge 7,500 pounds of load-leveling capacity. It also allows for you to inflate the air bags from 5-150 psi for your desired...

• Which Air Bag Kit Works On 2023 Ford F-350 Super Duty 4WD?
  I have an air bag option for your 2023 Ford F-350 Super Duty 4WD, but the Air Lift # AL57575 is only designed for select 2001-2010 Chevy/GMC trucks and won't work on your truck. Instead I recommend the Firestone # F35FV which give you 5,000lbs of load leveling support which is plenty for 99% of trucks towing on the road. If you have an extremely heavy 5th wheel trailer, or a really heavy gooseneck trailer then you may want to step up to the 7,500lb rated # F95FV instead. I also highly...

• Recommended Suspension Enhancement for a 2022 Chevy Silverado 3500
  I have 2 different solutions to help out the OEM suspension when towing your 5th wheel trailer with your 2022 Chevy Silverado 3500, and it boils down to maintenance vs customization. The SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs # SSR-203-40-2 are easier to install and require absolutely no maintenance, while the Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs # F2709 offer the ability to adjust the bags to exactly how much support you want/need but they do require some maintenance...

  I recommend going with Firestone air bags. They will fit with the B&W Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1116 on your 2022 Ford F-250 Super Duty 4x4 and they are the most reliable option on the market due to their enhanced construction which includes a double-convoluted shape with a braided wire girdle, and the crimp-rolled seal that keeps the bags securely anchored to the metal end plates.
