Can Air Lift Air Bags AL82WQ Add Payload Capacity to 2021 Ford F-150

Question:

My truck has a payload capacity of 1312 lbs. I am at that weight on my TT with occupants plus trailer tongue weight. Will adding airbags help with increasing payload if I am a little over the factory sticker?

So there is just no way to add payload capacity to your 2021 Ford F-150; that number is set by Ford, and there isn't a way to increase it with any product, including the air bags that fit your F-150:

- Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Springs # AL82WQ

These will be an excellent option to help level your F-150 and improve its handling while you are towing your trailer, but they won't increase your payload. The only thing you may be able to do, since you mentioned being just a little over the factory sticker, is potentially reduce your tongue weight by shifting any cargo in your trailer.
