Expert Reply:

I recommend going with the 5,000lb Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F35FV on your 2023 Ford F-250 super duty. These have a capacity which is higher than what your F-250 is even capable of supporting on the rear axle. The 7,500lb Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs # F95FV are going to be overkill and will not have any benefit over the 5,000lb springs on your F-250.

With the 5,000lb springs only having a psi rating up to 100psi it also allows you to use the Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System # AL58WQ which I prefer since it has the smart manifold which will monitor the air pressure while you drive and makes changes if the air pressure changes by more than 3psi. You can adjust the air pressure settings using your smart phone and the Air Lift app.
