Air Helper Spring Fit for 2022 Ford F-450 DRW King Ranch

Question

Question:

Will the Airlifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper work on a 2022 Ford F-450 DRW King Ranch full length bed? Truck will be delivered in two weeks and I pull a 5th Wheel Camper and like a level ride. Instructions do not reflect a 2022 model. Just need to know for sure before ordering. Thanks for your time and assistance.

Air Lift doesn't list an application for the 2022 Ford F450 DRW pickup, but the good news is that Firestone does.

This is actually preferable, because Firestone joins the rubber air springs to the upper and lower plates using a roll crimp, which is stronger and therefore more reliable in the long run than the band clamps Air Lift uses to join the bags to the plates.

For a system that provides 5000 lb of support, use part # F35FV. A 7500 lb kit is also available as part # F95FV.

You might also be interested in an on-board compressor system like part # F2219. A compressor system would allow you to instantly add or remove pressure from the system as you're on the move without needing to leave the vehicle.

Answer 6

It sounds like the purpose of getting the air helper spring would be to counteract the 1 inch compression you're getting in your rear suspension caused by the pin weight of your 5th wheel. If that's the case, I believe that the AirLift 5000…
