There will be no issues at all installing a rear sway bar and air bag kit on your 2015 Ford F-250. As examples, the Firestone # F2597 will install in a different location than the Roadmaster # RM-1139-173-00. I included install videos of both of these products that show this as well.

I do need to say that the # RM-1139-173-00 is specifically designed for vehicles that do not have a factory sway bar though. If you do currently have a factory one and are replacing it, you will need the # RM-1139-173.

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…
