Question:

Hi I have a truck that has the Firestone air ride suspension. It seems to have a bottom support bracket F2135825842 and was wondering if you can confirm this is installed correctly or if it needs to be adjusted or replaced because it seems to be at an angle. I can provide pictures of how the suspension sits normal and with a load. Thank you

Hi Manuel!

I wish the instructions didn't show that bracket being completely level as it basically never is. If you can send the picture to [email protected], I can definitely take a look. I am guessing the Firestone # F35FV you got for your 2019 Ford F-250 is perfectly fine though. I included a picture that shows them at an angle as well.

Out of curiosity, why did you install the air bags?
