Great question, Tim. The 2002 Ford F 250 4x4 and the 2012 Ford F 250 4x4 do use the same Ride-Rite air spring, but they use different mounting brackets like you mentioned. We do not have an all in one kit with all of the replacement brackets, so we would need to piece the parts together.

Replacement Upper Bracket for Firestone Ride Rite Air Helper Springs, Driver's Side, part # F2135825840

Replacement Lower Bracket for Firestone Ride Rite Air Helper Springs, part # F2135825842

You may also need to replace the following parts depending on if they are in good shape when you remove them from the 2002.

I would also recommend replacing the hardware since your existing hardware has already been installed and torqued down. The Replacement Hardware Kit for Firestone Ride Rite Air Helper Springs F2550 is part # FA21-760-2550.

Honestly, you may be better off just purchasing a new kit once you add up all of the individual parts and hardware, but that is totally up to you. A complete new kit for your 2012 F-250 is the Firestone Ride Rite Air Helper Springs, Double Convoluted, Rear Axle, part # F2597.

I also wanted to make sure you have a ride-rite system? I just assumed since you were looking at Ride-Rite parts.
