Question:

I have a 2008 F450 King Ranch 4 door with long box and pick-up bed. I want a ride-rite for the rear. I carry a 4000 pound truck camper and have a super hitch for the boat. I also have a 30,000 BandW gooseneck ball installed in the bed. I would like to have a ride-rite suspension with a big compressor and air tank so I can blow out my tractor radiators. Is this possible? Please help and supply model numbers. Thanks

Expert Reply:

For your 2008 Ford F-450 Super Duty, you can use the Firestone Ride-Rite System, # F2446, that you have referenced. The recommended single function compressor is # F2097. The single function indicates that it has one gauge and both air bags are inflated/deflated together. Based on your application, the single function would work well.

The compressors we carry are only rated for and tested with Ride-Rite systems, so I cannot say if they can be used for blowing out tractor radiators. The largest compressor we have would be the Super Heavy Duty compressor and 1 gallon tank, # F49VV. It is rated at 150 psi.

I have included links to several FAQ articles on Firestone suspension enhancement systems for you to view.
