Expert Answers about Vehicle Suspension


  • Suspension Enhancement For 2000 Ford F53 Motorhome
  • The suspension enhancement we offer for your 2000 Ford F53 are designed to be installed between the axle and the vehicle frame. For your F53 I recommend the Firestone Vehicle Suspension, part # F2170. Installing any enhancement system will not increase the load-carrying capacity of the vehicle and should only be installed on a vehicle with a properly working suspension. The leaf springs we offer here are designed to work with trailer suspension. You may want to check with your motorhome...

  • Is There a Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar for a 2019 Ford Ranger
  • I have a solution for you to add some suspension help on the rear end of your 2019 Ford Ranger, but Roadmaster does not make a rear anti-sway bar for that particular vehicle. Typically the Roadmaster suspension enhancement parts are only available for Class A or Class C RV or heavy vehicle chassis'. However, a really easy to install and helpful suspension enhancement for your Ranger that I recommend is the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs - Rear Axle # SS86MR. These helper springs...

  • Solution for 2017 Ford F-250 with 6 inch Lift Experiencing Sag When Towing Camper
  • I have a solution for you, but it's not suspension enhancement for two reasons. Suspension enhancement for addressing sag created by trailer tongue weight is more of a bandaid to the real problem and also because fitting suspension enhancement to vehicles with 6 inch lifts is pretty difficult. Best option is a weight distribution system. These system reduce suspension sag by distributing some of the trailer's tongue weight to the front axle of the tow vehicle. In doing so the braking and...

  • Is There a Suspension Enhancement for the 2012 Kia Sorento LX
  • I may have a solution for you, but the AirLift 1000 # AL61730 are not a confirmed fit on the 2012 Kia Sorento and there are not any suspension enhancements available for your vehicle. Additionally, these types of systems don't work to "lift" your vehicle and much as they reduce the sag when you connect a trailer; the good news is that there are other ways you can help fight off the sag you might be getting when towing. I recommend using a weight distribution hitch, which is designed to...

  • Recommended Suspension Enhancement for 1995 Ford F-250 With In-Bed Hitch
  • Both Air Lift and Firestone air bags are not compatible with an in-bed hitch on the 1995 Ford F-250. Unfortunately there is no kit or workaround for this. If you're looking for suspension enhancement to keep you level and improve your ride while towing or hauling heavy loads, I recommend the RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit # RAS3611-HD. This kit kit converts your vehicle's factory leaf springs into a mechanically active suspension system. This will help keep you...

  • We do have a Firestone air suspension kit for your 2004 Dodge Ram 2500!

  • Fifth Wheel Hitch and Rail Kit Recommendation for 2016 Ram 1500 with Air Suspension
  • The Curt fifth wheel rail kit part # C16444-204 does fit the versions of the 2016 Ram 1500 that do have air suspension so it would be the correct kit to use. Then for a hitch you would want the Demco Hijacker Autoslide part # DM8550040 as this is the only slider hitch available that will slide far enough to give you the clearance you need. It automatically slides 22-1/2 inches around tight turns. This will fit well in the Curt rails.
