Will Firestone Air Helper Springs, # F2550, Fit A 2002 Ford F350 With Under The Bed Gooseneck Hitch

Updated 07/02/2010 | Published 06/30/2010

Question:

I currently have an 2002 Ford F350 long bed with a B and W under the bed hide a hitch installed. I would like to install some Firestone air bags. Could you please recommend what bag would work with this without having to weld.

The Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Rear Kit, # F2550, are designed to be installed on the inside of the frame rails on your 2002 Ford F350. This part number is listed for trucks with In Bed Hitch.

If the Hide-A-Way gooseneck hitch on your truck is installed on the outside of the frame rails, and there are no brackets on the inside of the frame rails to interfere with the air springs, then this part number will work on your truck.

The air helper springs are a bolt on application, so there is no welding needed.

I am sending a link to the installation instructions for the air helper springs and a video link of that same part number being installed on a 1999 Ford F250 Super Duty.
