For your 1965 Ford F100, the rear air suspension you want is the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Double Convoluted - Rear Axle # F2071. This is a confirmed fit. You may also be interested in a compressor like # AL25804 to adjust the pressure in your air bags at any time.

We have confirmed with SumoSprings that the #TSS-107-40 can be cut down to shorten them, but the brackets will fit a U-Bolt plate that is at least 3-7/8" wide. This will typically be larger than what is used on an axle that is less than 3,000…

For your 1965 Ford F100, I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-E-Loader Trailer Hitch Receiver #41001. This hitch receiver is a 2 inch Class III rated for 600 lbs tongue weight and 6,000 lbs towing but 1,000 lbs tongue and 10,000 lbs towing when using a…

The difference between the Class II and Class III hitches has to do with their Gross Trailer Weight (GTW), their Tongue Weight (TW), and their Hitch Receiver Size. Class II trailer hitch receivers have a 1-1/4 inch receiver and can be rated up to…

Yes, it will work. You'll just need to cut the Lance 6-pin connector out and rewire it into the etrailer Trailer Wiring 7-Way Upgrade Kit w/ Junction Box and RV Style Connector item #e99011. Here are the individual functions of that Lance 6-pin:…

Answer 12

Since the pin weight of your camper is 2.1k, I recommend going with the LoadLifter 5000 opposed to the 7500. While technically there is not reason you couldn't use the 7500 kit, it really is not necessary for a camper like yours. Generally the…
