What Does Air Lift Kit Capacity for Ford F-53 Motorhome Indicate

Question

Question:

You offer the Airlift Airbag system for the F53 Ford. Each have a 5000 lb max. My RV weighs at 7000# front 3500 ea and 15,000# rear 7500 ea. The front should work but won’t the rear Airlifts be overloaded?

The Air Lift kit part # AL57344 that fits your 2019 Ford F-53 has a capacity of 5,000 lbs and that might be a confusing figure. What it is supposed to indicate is that it can provide up to an additional 5,000 lbs of suspension support. So your RV won't overload them.
