Will the Air Lift SlamAir Springs Raise the Height of a Lowered 2006 Ford F-150

Question:

Does the air suspension actually raise the rear truck back up 2-6 inches depending on the inflation? I have an issue with bottoming out on my 150 lowered 5.5in the rear.

The Air Lift SlamAir Helper Springs, # AL59210, are not designed to raise the rear of a truck. The purpose of the SlamAir springs is to enhance your existing rear suspension. Air springs are also typically used to reduce the amount of sag when towing or hauling heavy loads. Vehicles that have been lowered typically have weaker suspension and because of that they can bottom out on bumps or with loads in the back of the truck.

While these springs will not raise the height of your F-150, they will enhance your rear suspension to reduce the potential of bottoming out.
