Hey William,

The Firestone Airide Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs # F95FV do not come with an internal jounce spring to absorb the shock if the air spring psi is set too low. You would need the Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Ultimate Air Helper Springs # AL89DQ you were looking at if you wanted an internal jounce spring.

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…
