Installation of Firestone Air Bags F2071 on a 2001 Ford F-250 4x4 with Aftermarket Overload Springs
Updated 03/30/2016 | Published 03/28/2016 >
Question:
2001 f250 4x4 four inch lift front and back f2071 air lift it seems my truck has aftermarket overload springs. will I have to remove them to apply the air bags. I really like the over the leaf spring air bag application rather than the alternate between the frame rails. it looks cleaner and better geometry.

Good news! According to my contact at Firestone the # F2071 can be put on top of the overload leaf if necessary. This way you will not have to remove the aftermarket springs to install the Firestone airbags.
I have linked the Firestone kit to this page for your convenience.
