Question:
Hey guys, So I had thought the RAS 4612 would fit on my 2000 F150 2wheel drive. But I have a Timbren set and when I measured, there would not be enough clearance between the RAS bracket and the Timbren rubber spring, especially when it would expand under load. I think the mount plate option under the U-bolt plate would be the only fit for me. I noticed you had the RAS2612 and RAS2691, both of which use the mounting plate I need. Would either of these fit on my F150?

Expert Reply:
The RoadActive Suspension Kit # RAS4612 is the only confirmed fit for your 2000 Ford F-150 2WD. When you mentioned it won't fit with the Timbren rubber spring, it threw a couple flags for me, so I just want to clarify. The systems are not designed to be used in tandem, you would only want to use one or the other in this case.
The mounting plates on # RAS2612 and # RAS2691 are not a fit for your vehicle. That bracket type will not work on your vehicle.
If you want to have further spring support as well as your Timbren springs, you can use the SuperSprings Suspension Stabilizer and Sway Control Kit - OEM Leaf Springs Above Axle # SSA8MTKT which will not interfere with the rubber jounce spring system. This is a confirmed fit for your truck.
