Question:
Looking to add air bags to my F250. Can the Airlift 5000 and/or 7500 Ultimate Airbags be installed next to or in conjunction with the RAS system on my 2021 F250 Crew Cab King Ranch? Or, will I have to remove the RAS system if I install the Air Bags?

Hello Wayne, thanks for reaching out. The Air Lift 5000/7500 can absolutely be installed in conjunction with your RAS system. The RAS system sits on top of the leaf springs so they won't interfere with each other. For your 2021 Ford F350 Crew Cab King Ranch I recommend the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 # AL23FJ, or if you want to go with the 7500 use part # AL55FJ. The RAS kits do a good job reducing sway, so it would compliment the air bags nicely.
I also recommend adding an onboard compressor for filling and monitoring the air bags. For that I recommend the Air Lift WirelessONE Compressor System # AL25980EZ.
