Question:

I own a RV park and sometimes I need to move my tenants 5th wheels from lot to lot. My truck that I want to use is a 1994 Ford F150 4x4 with a 6.5 bed I know that I will be overload on the F150, but Im not on any public road, Should I purchase the Firestone Air bags F2071 or should I get the Timbren TFR250SDE Next I need a set of bed rails as I have the 5th wheel already please advise

Expert Reply:

Considering that you will be moving around different 5th wheel trailers but just from lot to lot I would go with Timbren springs, # TFR250SDE. These springs mount to the bottoms of the truck frame rails. This is important because this type of design means that it will not interfere with a 5th wheel installation kit.

I do not know what brand or style of rails that you already have but they may not be compatible with the universal installation brackets, # RP30439. These brackets are designed for use with Reese 10-bolt rails, # RP58058. If you do not want to risk having an unknown capacity (if you have something other than Reese rails) I recommend just going with the complete universal kit, # RP30035.
