Are Replacement Bracket Parts Available For Air Springs On A 2001 Ford F-350

Question

Question:

I bought a 01 F350 PS a few years ago and it came with a partial Air Lift air bag kit. I have the 2 5318 bladders and just the 2 top or bottom brakets. No other hardware. Can you guys get just the mounting kit? Thanks,

To be completely honest it's unbelievably more expensive to part together everything you need versus just purchasing new air spring kit, which would have everything needed for installation. The 5318 part number you provided didn't come back to an Air Lift part number but did come back as a Firestone bellow part number 1T17BB2. Both Air Lift and Firestone have also made it much harder to get replacement brackets because they want you to purchase all new kits and have their warranty.

I highly recommend scrapping your current system and getting a new one to ensure you have everything you need and that it functions properly. There's quite a few fitment stipulations for air springs so I have two options depending on which fifth wheel hitch you have installed since the mounting brackets can interfere with the hitch mounting brackets.

If you have a Reese 5th Wheel Hitch you'll need the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle # AL57298. If you have a B&W 5th Wheel Hitch (1105 or 1199R) you'll need part # AL57291 instead.

Since the pin weight of your camper is 2.1k, I recommend going with the LoadLifter 5000 opposed to the 7500. While technically there is not reason you couldn't use the 7500 kit, it really is not necessary for a camper like yours. Generally the…

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…
