I have attached a link to the part of our website that lists the current deals going on. You can also go to the Etrailer website and click on the "deals" tab on the right side. We do not currently have a deals category that is vehicle specific.

I do have a solution for you, however, the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Single Convoluted - Rear Axle # F2565 that you mentioned is not a fit for your 2018 Ford F-150 Raptor. If you had your mind set on air suspension, you can go with Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Plus Air Springs w/ Internal Bumpers - Stainless Steel - Rear Axle # AL98UV and Air Lift Load Controller Compressor System for Air Helper Springs- Heavy Duty - Single Path # AL25854 for the compressor system. This will work well with your truck and will allow you to change the suspension support/stiffness as you add weight to the back of your truck While air suspension is a great option, I highly recommend going with jounce springs instead. The SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs - Rear Axle # SS52GR will be only a fraction of the price and will help out greatly with supporting extra weight in the back of your Raptor. Not only are these cheaper, they are essentially maintenance-free. This setup will not affect your unloaded ride quality as it only comes into play when excess weight is added. This will not replace your factory suspension but simply aid in supporting weight; they are bolted on in place of the factory bump stops and will greatly extend the life of your suspension. I have attached demonstration videos for these products.
