• 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.

• 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...

• 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...

• 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...

• 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...

• 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...

• 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.

  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.

  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...

• 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...

• 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...

• 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...

• 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...

  Both the Firestone Level Command II with Standard Duty Compressor part # F2158 and the Firestone Level Command II with Heavy Duty Compressor part # F2219 would technically work with the Firestone Air Bag Kit part # F2535 that you have installed on your vehicle. The biggest difference is that the heavy duty compressor will inflate much quicker.
