Published 11/04/2021

Can I replace 5000Lbs Ride-Rite Airspring installed on F350 Dually 4WD, 2015 with a 7500Lbs without any new hardware or other mods? Thanks for your advice

Helpful Expert Reply:

In regards to the Air Lift LoadLifter Air Helper Springs, the XL or 7500 kits use larger air bags as well as thicker brackets in order to obtain higher capacities. Therefore, you wouldn't be able to simply switch out the air bags on the part # AL57396 to obtain the capacity of the part # AL57596 on a 2015 Ford F-350.

If you want to make the switch to the 7500 XL kit, you'll be rewarded with 2,500 lbs of additional capacity. I have attached an install video I did on that exact kit as well.
