Availability of a 7,500 lb Air Bag Kit for a 2005 Ford F-350 Super Duty

Question:

Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Ultimate Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle Item # AL57595 I am wanting something with bags around this size for my 2005 ford f350 diesel. I have a heavier 5th wheel, and currently have the regular air bag kit, with the smaller bags. Do you think this will fit my truck? Thanks

Hey J, thanks for reaching out!

Air bag suspension kits are vehicle specific both for the mounting hardware and the bags themselves. After looking at what the manufacturers list as fits for your 2005 Ford F-350, I'm not seeing that anyone has produced a kit rated for 7,500 lbs like the Air Lift # AL57595 you asked about.

Because of this, I recommend installing the Hellwig Load Pro 35 # HE22XR in addition to your air bag kit to help fight that squat you're seeing from your truck. This kit installs directly above your OEM leaf spring pack and will not interfere with the air bags.
