Question:

I have a 2013 F350 super duty diesel truck 4X4 with 2.5 inch leveling kit. Would the 2703 air bag system fit my truck since I have a 2.5 inch leveling kit, thanks for the help.

Expert Reply:

The Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Air Helper Springs # F2703 that you referenced will work great on your 2013 Ford F-350 4x4, even with the 2-1/2" leveling kit installed. Depending on the type of lift the kit provided, you may just need to add a spacer block to fill in the extra gap.

If the kit only raised the body of the truck (and the suspension travel didn't actually increase) you don't need to worry about a spacer at all and the air springs will install and work perfectly as-is.

If the suspension height did change then it will just depend on how much it actually increased (a 2.5" leveling kit doesn't necessary equal a 2.5" lift on the suspension). You can use the attached image below from Firestone to determine which spacer size is needed, if any.

For example if you measure the distance between the brackets on the truck and get 6.5" to 7.5", the 1-1/4" Spacer # F2536 would be needed.
