Hello, How much do air bags/suspensions improve the stock ride of a new generation F250 Platinum? What are the best options for the smoothest ride? Im new to all of this so assume that I know very little. Thanks

Hello!
I see you have a 2024 Ford F-250 Super Duty in our fitguide system so I'm guessing that's the truck that you're referring to.
Air bag kits, like the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57391 you're looking at, do an amazing job at helping to support the OEM suspension on your truck, but I'm not sure if I would say people normally install them to increase the standard ride quality.
We have some other parts that can definitely help, but I think the best way to go about getting your answer is to first figure out what you're thinking needs to be fixed. Do you feel like the ride is too stiff right now? Does the truck feel like it sways? What exactly are you wanting to fix so you have a seamless driving experience?

Hey, did you get a chance to figure out what felt off with the ride on your F-250? Knowing whether it was stiffness or sway could really help narrow down the best suspension setup. Your feedback could help others fine-tune their trucks too.
