Question:

Hi, I have a 2001 Ford Excursion 7.3l that I tow a 2019 kz escape camper with, 4k gvwr. I would like to remove the sag from the back of the truck. Would you recommend air bags or the Timken bumper set up?

Expert Reply:

I would highly recommend using air bags to address the sagging issue in your 2001 Ford Excursion. I recommend going with a set of Air Lift air bags. They have a 5,000 lbs load leveling capacity that will keep your rear end from squatting when you're towing your trailer. Additionally, these will not add any discomfort to your daily driving which is why I highly recommend them. Which set you need will be determined by whether or not your Excursion is a 2WD or 4WD model. I have listed both options below:

2WD - Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs item # AL57132

4WD - Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs item # AL57340

I also recommend adding the Firestone Air Command item # F2610 to your truck. This onboard compressor will allow you to adjust the PSI in your air bags from your phone.
