Question:
Hi I have a 2013 ford f150 with the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Double Convoluted - Rear Axle Part Number: F2525 I was wondering if these rails will work with my helper springs. Thank you

Hi Bowdy, welcome back! I'm sorry to say that the Firestone # F2525 air bags are not compatible with the # RP50081-58. The brackets mount in the same location. Just like what Bud said before, it would be best to switch to the Air Lift for 2WD # AL88228 or 4WD # AL88200 air bags which are compatible with an in-bed hitch. This will allow you to install the base rails or a gooseneck hitch like # BWGNRK1104 if you're still interested in adding one.
