Can 2019 Ford F-350 Have Air Lift 5000 Kit Swapped Out to 7500 Kit

Updated 02/09/2026 | Published 01/31/2026

Question:

I have a 2019 Ford F350 Super Duty SWD 4X4. I also have a Big Wig Helwig stabilizer bar in the rear. I have now the AirLift 5000. I haul a 08 Artic Fox camper.3400lbs Also a 2022 Montana High Country 295RL fifth wheel. Im not sure if the 5000 kit is doing good. Will the AirLift 7500XL work with a lift kit and the Helwig stabilizer bar? Im not sure if I have a lift kit. As I bought the truck used. I did have to purchase 1longer bolts that attach around the axle tube. With the AirLift 5000.

Hey Vance, you will be able to swap out your Air Lift 5000 kit for the 7500 part # AL57577 that you referenced. If you had a lift kit on your truck it would have required spacers to take up that extra room created and those same spacers would fit the 7500 kit as well so either way this will work for you. What has made you think the 5000 kit isn't working well?

I went Hunting this past season. I had my camper on my truck and I was pulling a small trailer with my 4wheeler. By the time I got to the mountains. Apparently all the air was gone from my bags. Everybody was flashing their lights at me because of the squat in my truck. I thought maybe it was to heavy? I haven't had a chance to check things out as to why I lost all my air...blown air bags? Line popped off? Crack in the line? Anyway...Just a thought. Didn't know if I needed a bigger/better air bags. Thanks

@VanceT I would check and see what caused the leak. It could have been just the line coming off or maybe a bag did break but knowing more about what happened would be good to know for sure.

I would add extra leaf springs instead of using the air bags. The air bags should be used to keep the rear end from bottoming out. I have seen people use them to level the truck but can damage the bags that way. So had an extra leaf springs instead or two and only use the air bags for a smoother ride. That doesn’t bottom out on you.

@MichaelB that’s exactly what they are for is to level the load and improve ride. I’ve had these on three trucks and it’s way easier to install and better ride than extra leafs. I always buy the 7500 model.

Yes the 7500 kit will work with a lift kit and hitch system as well. I use mine on a f250 and haul a 43' fifth wheel. I went with the larger kit as i tend to haul heavy, but didnt want to sacrifice the ride when not loaded.
