Will Air Lift Air Springs Work on 2013 Ford F-150 With 2 Inch Lift and Fifth Wheel Hitch

Question:

Good morning. I have a small lift on my 2013 F150 FX4. Two inch block in the back. Is this kit compatible with this lift, and an in bed hitch? I am towing a 5th wheel camper with a 1200lb with a weight. Thanks in advance

The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Springs # AL88200 are a fit for a 4 wheel drive 2013 Ford F-150 and will likely be compatible with a fifth-wheel hitch because they mount mostly to the bottom of the frame rails, wrapping slightly around the outside. So long as the brackets of your fifth wheel do not interfere with that area these springs will work, but you will need to check under your 2013 F-150 to verify.

In terms of your rear 2 inch lift it is likely that you will need the 2 inch Air Lift Spring Spacers # AL52420 but I recommend verifying this by taking a quick measurement, which is represented in the accompanying diagram. If you take a look at the linked directions you can see where the mounting surfaces will be for the AirLift # AL88200. From there, just measure the distance between the mounting surfaces of the upper and lower brackets and record that. Subtract 6 from that measurement and if you get 2 then you will need Spacers # AL52420.

I also strongly recommend installing the Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System # AL74000 with the helper springs because has a wireless remote control which allows you to adjust the air pressure in each bag from the comfort of your truck's cab. This system also has the ability to maintain a pre-set air pressure if you find that perfect setting that gets your truck level.
