Question:
Good day, Can you tell me if the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Double Convoluted - Rear Axle Item # F2542 would fit on my 2012 F150 which is equipped with a fiftwheel hitch and frame brackets? If not is there another kit that would fit? Thanks in advance

Expert Reply:
As long as you are using either universal or semi custom frame brackets on your 2012 Ford F-150 such as the B&W Semi-Custom 5th Wheel Installation Kit part # BWRVR3201-00 or the Reese Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit part # RP30035-426 then yes, the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F2542 will work well for you.
However, if you are using a set of custom 5th wheel frame brackets such as the Reese Quick-Install Custom Base Rails and Installation Kit part # RP50081-58 then we do not have an airbag kit that will work with these brackets at this time.
In order to operate the airbags from inside your truck, I recommend using the Firestone Air Command I Compressor System part # F2097. I have attached an installation video of this system installed on a similar 2011 Ford F-150 for you as well.
