Recommended Airbag Kit for a 2015 Ford F-150

Question

Question:

I like the thought of the full airbag system but seems a bit more complex than I need for not an everyday thing. I can see its value if I was full time pulling our travel trailer. Do I have to have the kit that I can adjust the airbag system inside the vehicle? Also what about part # TFRTT1504E

For a set of airbags that will work with your 2015 Ford F-150, I recommend taking a look at the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F2582. The Ride-Rite airbags will maximize safe load carry capacity, increase stability, and improve overall ride quality. The air pressure is adjustable for each airbag therefore you can adjust the pressure to suite your needs. In order to operate the airbags from inside the cab of your vehicle, I recommend the Firestone Air Command I part # F2158. As long as you do not have an in-bed hitch, then these airbags will work well for you.

I have attached an installation video of both the airbags and compressor kit installed on a similar 2015 Ford F-150 for you as well.

The Firestone Air Command I part # F2158 is not required for installing the airbag kit on your 2015 Ford F-150. All the compressor kit does is provide an easy method for frequently filling the airbags up. Once installed, the airbags are pretty much maintenance free for the exception of when you need to inflate them for towing. The Timbren Suspension Enhancement System part # TFRTT1504E will replace the factory bump stops on your F-150 and provide additional support while towing. However, if ride quality is of a concern to you I highly recommend going with the airbags as the ride quality associated with the Timbren's is less than idea in comparison to an airbag kit. If you review the installation video of the airbag kit installed on a similar 2015 Ford F-150, this will give you a better idea of how the system works.

Hey Doug! The Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs #F35FV are the right kit for your 2026 Ford F-350 FX4 dually. However, you will need to measure to be sure it fits. The distance from the top of your rear axle to the top of the jounce bump stop…

Hey Melanie. The reason you can't find a replacement for your GE ARC15AACBL2 15,000 btu air conditioner is because they phased them out. In 2025 all RV AC systems had to change over to a new coolant called R32. This was a EPA mandated decision.…

Hi John, I'm not sure your truck has a plug for a plug and play brake controller to plug into because it doesn't have a tow package. You will likely have the wiring for it, but just loose wires and no factory plug. You can check under the…

Answer 10

Hey Robert, what you'd need is an Air Lift Union tee part #AL21838 which would allow you to use a single inflation valve for both bags. I'm still a little surprised they don't just include this. What vehicle do you have?
