Will Firestone Ride Rite Air Bag and Compressor Kit Fit 2018 Ford F150 STX

Question:

Yes, I read your response that if you have the eco-boost engine this kit may not work why is that I have a 2018 Ford F150 STX package and I pull a 6000 pound trailer

Hey John, I checked with Firestone and the Ride-Rite Air Bags w/ Easy Mount Compressor # F97XV does fit the EcoBoost versions of the 2018 Ford F150 STX like what you have so it would work great for you. Is your 6k trailer a camper?

@JohnS on nice! Have you thought about a weight distribution system?

@JamesonC honestly I drive this 55 to 60 mph. I’ve never had any trailer sway no problem stopping the trailer so I just really don’t think the weight distribution system was needed. I just have a little bit of sag. I want to take out of the rear end and that’s just the weak leaf springs Ford puts in these F1 50s.
