Will Firestone Air Springs Work on 2016 Ford F-150 XLT 4WD With Wheel Well Liners

Question:

My truck has rear wheel well plastic liners. Would the wheel well liners present conflicts to installing or operation of the Firestone air bags?

We have gotten this question before and Firestone has told us that even though the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2582 have not been tested specifically with wheel well liners, they have not heard of any issues regarding their installation or use on trucks that have liners. I also took a look at the many reviews we have and did not come across any customers who mentioned liners being a problem.

If you do find they interfere you can do what it looks like the customer in the accompanying photo did and cut the liner to ensure the bags fit.
