There are air springs that fit your 2015 Ford F-53 2WD motorhome, but they are different than the kit you mentioned. The springs that do fit are the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57344.

Keep in mind these will fit your motorhome so long as it does NOT have a GVWR of 24,000 lbs or 26,000 lbs.

If your motorhome has a 24,000 lb or 26,000 lb GVWR then the suspension upgrade you need is the SumoSprings Maxim Custom Helper Springs # SSR-183-54-1.

Please note, the SumoSprings will NOT fit if you have a Fleetwood, Forest River, Newmar, or Thor Motorhome model.

Hi Bill! Thanks for your pictures, they were extremely helpful! ^___^ The LCI Part #194170 on that tag you found means you have a 1621 pin box. The Gen-Y #GY45SR you were looking at is specifically for the Lippert 1116 and 1716 pin boxes, so you will…

Hi Todd, I know exactly the feeling you’re describing, and you’re definitely not alone. That floaty, pushy feeling at highway speeds, especially when trucks pass, is really common on the Sprinter 3500 chassis with a taller coach like your Tiburon,…
