Question:

Which air helper springs do I need for my 2022 Ford F350? It's a 4x4, DRW. I have the pucks in the bed, if that makes a difference.

We have two different options I'd recommend depending on the amount of additional support you're needing.

I really like the Firestone helper springs, because the way the air bags attach to the upper and lower plates. Firestone uses a roll crimp to join the steel and rubber, for a very strong and durable connection while Air Lift uses a band clamp type arrangement.

For 5000 lbs of support, I'd recommend the Firestone # F35FV, or for up to 7500 lbs of support, use # F95FV. Both are fully compatible with an in-bed 5th wheel or gooseneck hitch.

You might also be interested in an on-board compressor system like part # F2219 which would allow you to add or delete pressure from the system with the flick of a rocker switch. This is super-convenient if the payload or trailer pin weight varies.

I've linked to some installation videos that you might find helpful.
