Question:

I currently have the Timbren TFR1504E suspension system installed on my 2018 Ford F-150 XLT 4x4 truck. I am wanting to also install the Air Lift 59570 air bag system on my truck and have both systems together. Have you had anyone do this on their truck? Or has eTrailer done this? Any issues with having both systems on the truck, or any conflict with the components? According to the installation pictures and videos, it looks like there shouldnt be any conflict. My thoughts were that the Timbren gives me a good cushion once Im loaded, basically acting like a longer bump stop with better flex. Then by adding the air lift system, this would give me a better ride quality and could inflate when towing/loaded for added load support. Thoughts?

The Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System, # TFR1504E on your 2018 Ford F-150 replaces the factory bump stops. When installing the Air Lift Ride Control Air Helper Springs, # AL59570 those factory bump stops are slightly modified. The sides of the metal plate are ground down to prevent creation of a contact point. Note the linked installation video below that shows this step being performed at about the 5:00 minute mark. As long as you do not create a contact point when installing the two you will be okay to do so, no conflict with the two working together.

To answer your question of if we have done this install, both together on one vehicle, no. I do not know if anyone else has. There is somewhat of a redundancy to having each installed but they will not conflict.
