Fitting Air Lift # AL57399 to 2017 Ford F-350 with Lift Kit
Updated 06/12/2019 | Published 06/11/2019 >
Question:
Trying to figure out what spacers to use with air lift bags. Just bought the truck and on the back the block is a 5 inch. Leaving me 8 inches from top of block to where the bumper jouce bolts to the bottom of the frame. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

Expert Reply:
It sounds like you are pretty close to the correct height for the Air Lift kit part # AL57399 to fit without a spacer as it sounds like the block lift you have was a body lift. Either way though Air Lift recommends installing the brackets of their kits first and seeing if the air bag is correct height as-is. If the height does not match let me know the distance between the top and bottom brackets and I'll be able to check with Air Lift and determine what type of spacer solution you'd need.
This is the method that Air Lift recommends for determining if a spacer is needed. I wish there was a way that allowed you to measure prior.
