Suspension Springs for a 2014 Tiffin Allegro Motorhome with a 24,000-lb Ford Chassis

Question

Question:

In my search for my 2014 Tiffin open road 35qba it shows it fitting. However, my Ford invoice sticker shows 24,000 chassis. In other searches if this system it says excludes 24-26k chassis. Can you clarify before I order?

I called Air Lift to confirm, and you are correct in that the LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Springs, part # AL88240, are not compatible with your 24,000-lb chassis.

We do, however, have springs that are compatible. They are the SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs, part # SSF-173-40-2. These jounce-style springs are much easier to install and maintain than air springs, and they react appropriately to different loads (rather than the air springs needing manual adjustment when under different loads).

I've linked to a video installation of these springs for you to reference.

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…
