• Recommended Best/Better Air Spring Suspension Enhancement for 2012 Ford F-350 Dually 4x4
  With your 2012 Ford F-350 Dually 4x4 you are most likely towing some big loads. My recommendation is to use the Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle # AL57596 for the greatest load leveling support or the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Springs w/ Internal Bumpers # AL88396. Either of these options are custom fit for your vehicle and are compatible with in-bed hitches in case you will be using them with a gooseneck or 5th wheel. I also recommend using a...

• Recommended Air Springs for a 2016 Ford F-250 With a B&W Turnoverball Hitch
  Hey Daniel, for your 2016 Ford F-250 I recommend checking out the Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Ultimate Air Helper Springs # AL57596 for 4WD models or # AL57395 for 2WD models. These air springs will work just fine with your Turnoverball, has up to 5,000 lbs of load leveling support so you'll have plenty of capacity while you're towing or hauling, and has an adjustable air pressure range of 5 to 100 PSI. You're also going to need a compressor system in which I suggest going with the Air...

• Recommended Air Lift Helper Springs For A 2015 Ford F-350 Pulling A 16K Gooseneck Trailer
  Hey John, Pin weight is typically 15-25% of your trailer's GWVR. With a 16,000lb GVWR you'd be looking at 2,400lb - 3,200lbs of pin weight. That would mean the 5,000lb capacity Air Lift springs would be more than enough to handle the load. If your 2015 Ford F-350 DRW is 2WD then you'll need part # AL57395, and for 4WD models you would need # AL57396. If you want to be able to monitor your psi levels and or air up on the go then I recommend picking up the Air Lift WirelessONE Compressor...

• Recommended 7,500LB Capacity Air Springs and Compressor For a 2016 Ford F-250
  Personally I prefer the Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Ultimate Air Helper Springs # AL57596 over the Firestone Red Label # F2703 for your 2016 Ford F-250. The Air Lift has an internal jounce bumper which not only helps to prevent damage to the spring but it also helps to reduce bouncing when towing heavy loads. Since installation of air springs requires removing the factory jounce bumper you lose this component all together with the Firestone. It is also easier to fill the Air Lift springs...

• Should I Get Loadlifter 5000 Or 7500 For Towing A 15K Fifth Wheel
  Since the pin weight of your camper is 2.1k, I recommend going with the LoadLifter 5000 opposed to the 7500. While technically there is not reason you couldn't use the 7500 kit, it really is not necessary for a camper like yours. Generally the 7500 kits are used on vehicles that have a constant heavy load in the bed like a salt spreader or truck bed camper. For your 2012 Ford F-350 I recommend the Air lift Loadlifter 5000 Ultimate # AL88396. I prefer the ultimate kit because the air...

• Can You Replace 5000 with 7500 Air Lift Air Bags On 2015 Ford F-350
  In regards to the Air Lift LoadLifter Air Helper Springs, the XL or 7500 kits use larger air bags as well as thicker brackets in order to obtain higher capacities. Therefore, you wouldn't be able to simply switch out the air bags on the part # AL57396 to obtain the capacity of the part # AL57596 on a 2015 Ford F-350. If you want to make the switch to the 7500 XL kit, you'll be rewarded with 2,500 lbs of additional capacity. I have attached an install video I did on that exact kit as well.

• Timbren Suspension Kit For 2016 Ford F-250 Towing 5th Wheel with Sag in Suspension
  The Timbren kit part # TFR250SDG is a confirmed fit for your 2016 Ford F-250 and would do a great job getting rid of the sag you mentioned when towing your 5th wheel trailer. The big advantage this has over air bags is that the install is easier and you never have to worry about air leaks or maintaining/checking air pressure. It's very much a "set it and forget it" type solution which is why we recommend it over the air bags.

• Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs for 2016 Ford F-250 with 4 inch Lift
  As long as the 2016 Ford F-250 Super Duty has 4wd, you can use the Airlift air springs part # AL57596 with a 4 inch lift and a 5th wheel hitch in the bed. You need spacers to make up the room from the 4 inch lift in your suspension. Just because you have a 4 inch lift does not always mean you need a 4 inch spacer. You have to do a couple measurements to figure out which size spacer you need. You need to measure from the frame to the top of the axle on the Ford. Then subtract the operating...

• Recommended Air Spring Kit For A 2016 Ford F-250
  I have several options for you but none of which include both the air bag kit and the air compressor.

• Recommended Air Bags for a 2011 Ford F-350 w/ a Gooseneck Hitch
  No, they can not! The B&W Universal Base Rails item # BWRVR3200 and any other comparable set of rails will not be compatible with a preinstalled gooseneck hitch. I do have quite a few options to potentially add some 5th wheel rails using an adapter or a puck system like item # RP30138-26 but you'll need to remove the gooseneck hitch first for the puck system. If you're interested in an adapter I would need you to give me a part number preferably or a brand of what gooseneck hitch you have...

• Is Air Lift or Firestone Air Bag Kit Better for a 2012 Ford Super Duty
  Both the Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL # AL57596 and the Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs # F2703 are excellent choices for your 2012 Ford Super Duty but when compared to each other the Firestone # F2703 is the winner. This is due to the rolled crimp seal that connects the bags with the metal end plates. The rolled crimp seal ensure that the rubber air bags don't ever get damaged by the metal end caps. Typically you only see that happen if there is no air pressure...

• Air Lift Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for 2012 Ford F-350
  For your 2012 Ford F-250 the Air Lift Kit part # AL57596 would be the correct kit to use as it is a heavier duty air bag kit which you would need. That being said, weighing the rear axle of your truck with the trailer connected and then comparing that to the capacity of the spring kit would not necessarily be the way to pick it out. What these kits do is provide the additional suspension support up to the capacity of the spring kit. They do not however give you additional suspension capacity...

• Can Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 of 2016 Ford F-350 be Upgraded to 7500XL
  I compared the hardware lists of the Air Lift 5000 and 7500 kits that fit your 2016 Ford F-350 and found that they do not use the same hardware or bags so you'd need a complete new kit to go with the higher rated setup. For that you'd want the # AL57596.

• Is Rough Ride Common with Air Lift Air Bag Kit with 5 PSI in Ford F-450
  I wish there was an easy solution I can recommend but Air Lift will void your warranty if you run lower than 5 psi in the bags and the compressor kit won't let you do that anyway. 5 psi SHOULDN'T make it unbearably stiff so I'd hate to have you modify your setup to the point of voiding the warranty and not have it actually help. If the kit is brand new the rubber may be pretty stiff (since it is a heavy duty kit), break in and get a bit more flexible over time. Your truck though isn't...

• Can Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 Air Bags Be Installed On a Lifted 2016 Ford F-250 Super Duty?
  Air Lift makes spacers that can be used on lifted trucks to still allow for you to use their Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs # AL57596 on your 2016 Ford F-250. You will want to verify how much lift was added to your rear suspension from the manufacturer as a 3" lift may only raise the rear 2" to help level the trucks ride height. Air Lift has a 2" Lift Block # AL52420, 4" Lift Block # AL52440 and 6" Lift Block # AL52460. I recommend the Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor...

• Recommended Air Springs For 2015 Ford F-250 4WD Crew Cab With Service Body
  For your 2015 F-250 Super Duty (including the 4WD, gas engine, crew cab, and service body), I recommend an air system for load leveling so your truck doesn't squat in the back like you are referring to. For air springs compatible with your truck, I recommend the Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle # AL57596. These springs are one inch wider at 7 inches than the Load Lifter 5000 # AL57396. This system will improve your steering and braking performance by keeping...

• Recommended Front and Rear Air Lift Air Helper Springs For 2012 Ford F-250/F-350
  I would be happy to help! There is not a kit that includes Air Lift Air Helper Springs for the front and rear of your 2012 Ford F-250/350, but I would be happy to piece one together for you.
