Question:

I have a couple of questions about adding a few items to my 2004 F250. I would like to add rear helper air springs, and probably an analog controler, I liked the load controler II by Air lift. I am considering putting onboard air on as well. can this be done where the use of the air tank does not drain the air bags as well? Is there a 1way check valve that could be placed in the feed line from the tank to the air bag lines? As Im trying to put together a single unit with quite a few different items I just want to make sure I know how the different systems work with each other and what their different limitations are. Any help would be great. Thanks.

The Air Lift rear axle air bag kits that fit on the 2004 Ford F-250 can be seen on the linked page. You can click on the filter to select either 2WD or 4WD to then see products compatible with your truck. All are rated for 5000-lbs of load support.

Please take note of the Installation Notes and Tech Tips shown for each kit as these indicate any fit limitations. For instance, kit # AL57215 will not fit if the truck has a 5th wheel or gooseneck hitch in the bed. Kit # AL57291 works only with B&W 5th wheel hitches. And some kits require drilling while other do not.

I do not recommend piecing together a system from unrelated parts as this can both complicate your install and potentially void the warranty on the new parts. Manufacturers do not test their products with those from other makers so we don't recommended mixing.

For an on-board compressor we offer the single-path # AL25980 which will control both bags at the same time, or dual-path # AL25856 that will allow you to control each bag individually, great for when you have uneven loads in the bed.
