Expert Reply:

The Firestone Ride-Rite kit # F2525 is designed to fit the 2014 Ford F-150 and it will fit 4-wheel drive models but not the SVT Raptor or FX2 models. The FX4 model should not be a problem.

The distance from the outside of the truck frame to the inside of the tire must be at least 8 inches for this kit to fit. I have linked the instructions for you and a video showing an installation so you can compare them to your truck.

My 2012 F150 FX4 has some type of plate clamped to frame where the bracket goes for the airbag. It’s doesn’t appear like it’s supporting anything, just has 4 bolts clamping the plate that approx 12” long to the frame rail on both sides? Do I just remove that?

It sounds like the brackets you are seeing on your 2012 Ford F-150 are what you see in the attached video for the 2013 F-150. When installing the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2525 that needs to be trimmed away. If that is not the bracket you are referring to, then it most likely is an aftermarket piece that needs removed.
