Are There Air Bags for a Lifted 2014 Ford F-350
Question:
I have a 2014 F350 with a 6inch lift kit. The rear spacer block is 5inch I also have a Curt 5th wheel hitch. I am looking at the Firestone Ride Rite kits and would like your recommendations for an axle mounted air bag kit with spacers that would work for my application. Thank You,

Expert Reply:
I do have an option for you but air bags don't work well on most lifted 2014 Ford F-350's due to the design of the rear jounce strike plate. I am not saying there isn't a kit that will work but due to their being soo many different lift kits out there, we'd need to know which exact one you have to confirm or deny. The main thing you are looking for is the location of the jounce strike plate. It needs to be in the factory location so the lift spacer cannot installed between this and the axle or if it's no longer present, that also means incompatibility.
Instead, to rid yourself of the headache I simply recommend a different option, the RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit which like air bags is also adjustable and helps to provide additional support while towing or hauling. If you have factory upper overload springs then you need part # RAS3611-SLHD but if not you need part # RAS3611-SHD.
