Hello Dan,

Great question.

When you’re comparing the Firestone kits # F59VV and # F2582, they both technically fit your 2025 F-150, but they are designed around different mounting locations and truck configurations.

The # F2582 is the traditional Ride-Rite kit. It installs above the leaf spring, between the axle and the frame. That setup works well on trucks without additional rear suspension components, but it uses the exact space where newer factory sensors and scale systems are often located.

The # F59VV uses a revised bracket design that mounts in a different position under the frame. This avoids interference with factory equipment like ride height sensors or onboard scales. It gives you the same 5,000 lb load support, just with better clearance for newer trucks.

I know a big concern here is choosing the wrong kit and ending up with a truck that still squats under load. Sag can lead to more sway, less control, and even scraping on driveways or dips. The goal is a level stance that keeps the truck steady so towing or hauling feels controlled and predictable.

That is why I recommend going with # F59VV. It is the more flexible fit for newer F-150s and helps avoid installation conflicts that could keep the system from doing its job properly.

If you want to pair the set-up with an onboard compressor, check out the Firestone Air Command Heavy Duty Air Compressor - Remote and Smartphone App - Single Path # F56VV.

What are you hauling that you need the extra support?
