Recommended Air Bags for 2022 Ford F-350 Towing 5th Wheel

Updated 08/15/2025 | Published 07/22/2025

Question:

I own a 2022 Ford F350 Superduty and tow a 5th wheel regularly. The pin weight is ~2,300. My truck has a ~4,200 payload so that is okay, but it sags when under load. I want to add airbags to regulate the sag. I do not need the system with a compressor as the manual systems are fine with me. What do you recommend?

Hey John! The air bags I recommend for your 2022 Ford F-350 are the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F35FV. Firestone air bags have the best construction making them the most reliable. These are designed with four layers of reinforced rubber and use a rolled crimp seal to keep them securely anchored. They are also fully compatible with an in-bed hitch so they won't interfere with your 5th wheel hitch.

Any big trips planned with your 5th wheel?
