The highest capacity air helper spring kit offered for your 2012 and 2013 Ford F-550 Cab/Chassis trucks would be the Firestone Ride-Rite system, part # F2404 which provides 5600 lb of support. Neither Firestone nor Air Lift offer a higher rated system.

The # F2404 rides on the outboard side of the frame member, so in order for it to fit correctly, you'll need at least 9-1/2 inches of clearance between the frame member and the sidewall of the rear tire in order to have the proper clearance.

Hello Luke, thanks for reaching out. Since you have an F-350 I do like the Load Lifter 7500 kit. The springs are going to be more robust and you will not need to add as much PSI to get the same level of support. Both the #AL55FJ and #AL86KV kits you…
