Expert Answers about Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty


  • Replacing Pullrite 4400 with Andersen Ultimate 3200 2014 Ford F-350
  • The Andersen Ultimate Connection # AM3200 will fit your 2014 Ford F350 assuming that your Pullrite was installed with Industry Standard Rails (See photo below). If you don't have that kit on your F350, use Custom 5th Wheel Installation Kit # C16424-204 to utilize the Andersen Hitch. If you are unsure of what you have please feel free to reply back to me with some pictures and I will be able to help you identify that.

  • Tire Chains to Fit 2004 Ford F-350 for Plowing
  • The Titan Chain snow chains you referenced, part # TC2828, are a good chain for the purpose you're intending to use them but they may not be a good choice for your truck. First of all it depends on your tire size. Let me know what size tires you have on your truck so I can confirm a fit. Secondly, your 2004 Ford F-350's owner's manual recommends Class S compatible chains to make sure there's enough clearance between the chain and any part of the truck such as wiring or brake lines.

  • Air Lift Load lifter 5000 for my Ford F-250 with a Curt Double Lock Gooseneck.
  • The correct air bags for your 2002 Ford F-250 4x4 with the Curt Double Lock gooseneck hitch part # C60720 are the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs with Internal Jounce Bumpers - Rear Axle part # AL88390 . I reached out to Airlift to confirm that this does in fact work in conjunction with your in bed hitch. I have linked the video and product pages below for you to check out.

  • Compatibility of Rear Axle Air Bag Kit with B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Hitch in 2001 Ford F-350
  • Compatibility of a rear axle air bag kit with 5th wheel rail installation depends on the specific products you have. Some combinations will be compatible while others not. I linked our page for rear axle air bag kits for your truck. Firestone kit # F2550, which fits both 2WD and 4WD versions of the 2001 F-350, is compatible with an in-bed hitch like a B&W Patriot # BWRVK3270. But the AirLift kit # AL57215 is not compatible with an in-bed 5th wheel or gooseneck hitch. 5th wheel hitches...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver Class V for 2006 Ford F-350 with 40 Gallon Tank Behind Axle
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class V - 2-1/2" # C15810 is a confirmed fit for a 2006 F-350 Super Duty. The fuel tank location you gave is normally for a Cab and Chassis model according to my contact at Curt, so you will need the # C15845 instead if your vehicle frame is 34 inches wide outside to outside.

  • Can the Anderson Ultimate be Used with the Trailair Air Ride 5th Wheel Pin Box
  • If I am not mistaken, Anderson will allow for a cushioned pin box to be used with their Anderson Ultimate 5th Wheel Hitch that attaches to a gooseneck hitch like the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch. I would double check with them but yes, you should be able to use the Trailair Air Ride 5th Wheel Pin Box part # LC158778 with the Anderson Ultimate even through Lippert does not recommend doing so.

  • Recommendation For WeatherTech Mud Flaps on a 2012 Ford King Ranch 4-Door Without Fender Flares
  • On your 2012 Ford F-250/F-350 King Ranch without fender flares the WeatherTech Mud Flaps, part # WT120020, will fit the rear of your vehicle as long as it is not a Dually model. If it is a Dually model you will need to use the WeatherTech Mud Flaps, part # WT120030. Weather Tech does not have a mud flap for the front of your vehicle that does not have fender flares. I have the Husky Liners Custom Molded Mud Flaps, part # HL56681, and part # HL57681, which are front and rear mud flaps...

  • The in-bed 5th wheel and gooseneck trailer wiring harness, # 50-97-410, will fit the 2012 Ford F-250 with the factory tow package. I have included a link to a video showing a typical installation of a similar harness on a truck for you to use as reference.

  • Will Classic Accessories Cover Fit Over Husky 26K 5th Wheel Hitch
  • If you have the stationary Husky 26K 5th Wheel Hitch # HT31318-31325 then yes, the Classic Accessories Cover # CA80116 will fit over the whole thing. However, if you have the sliding version # HT31318-32042 it probably won't fit over the entire thing as this is much bulkier. This is the only 5th wheel hitch cover we carry that covers the entire hitch. The other covers only fit over the head unit. I have attached a photo with the dimensions of the cover at its max capacity so you can get...

  • Hitch Compatibility of 5th Wheel Bracket and Bed Rail Mounting Kit for 2006 Ford F250
  • The Reese 5th wheel hitch you mentioned is compatible with industry standard rails manufactured by Curt, Draw-Tite, Husky, Valley, B&W and Demco, among others. The Curt # C16448-104 fifth wheel install bracket/rail kit you've looked at is indeed a fit for your 2006 Ford F250, it'll work great for you. If you don't already have a 7-way connector installed in the truck bed, you could do so using part # C56000. I've linked you to install videos for the bracket kit and the wiring kit...

  • Recommended Gooseneck Hitch for 1999 Ford F-250 with AirLift Air Bags Already Installed
  • There are a variety of air bag systems that are compatible with in-bed hitches, with the AirLift # AL57390 being the most versatile and compatible with any in-bed system; with that said, not all of them are compatible so what you can use depends on what AirLift system you've got installed on your 1999 F-250. The gooseneck hitch that provides the most flexibility and seems the least likely to interfere with an in-bed gooseneck system is the Draw-Tite # 8339-4449. This gooseneck hitch sits...

  • How to Tow 5th Wheel Trailer With Recessed Gooseneck Hitch
  • The only potential option, since the top of your gooseneck ball is 2-1/4" to the top of the truck bed, which is more than the 13/16" allowed by the Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter for Recessed Ball # DM8550046, is to use an adapter that bolts to your king pin. The option for this is the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter # CAB-C5G. This requires a measurement from the top of gooseneck ball to the base of the king pin box to be between 12"...

  • Recommended Heavy Duty Trailer Hitch Receiver For 1999 Ford F-350 W/ 8" Deep Drop Bumper
  • We have exactly what you are looking for! You are correct that the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C15810 you were looking at will not fit your 1999 Ford F-350 with an 8" deep drop bumper. Instead I recommend the Curt # C15316 which measures 9" from the top of the mounting flange (Bottom of your trucks frame) to the top of the receiver so it will work with your bumper, and has a 2400lb tongue weight rating and 16000lb trailer weight rating, or a 2400lb tongue weight rating and 17000lb trailer...

  • Recommended Hitch For A 2014 Ford F-350 Long Bed And 2022 Grand Design Momentum 350G
  • For your 2014 Ford F-350 long bed and 2022 Grand Design Momentum 350G with a dry weight of 12950lbs and gross weight of 16800lbs I recommend the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw - 20,000lbs # C16140 with the Curt Custom 5th Wheel Installation Kit for Ford - Carbide Finish # C16424-204. These rails are custom fit so you won't have to drill into the frame to install. The hitch comes with a 3-Point Indicator system that tells you if hitch is ready to uncouple, couple, or tow all...

  • Will Demco Hijacker Autoslide Hitch Fit Same Rails as Manual Slider Hitch
  • Yes, the Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider # DM8550034 that you referenced does fit the above bed rails you have in your 2004 Ford F-350 short bed currently. This is an 18k hitch though so if you were wanting a 21k version you'd instead want the part # DM8550035. With either of these hitches you wouldn't ever have to get out and mess with a slider mechanism again as the hitch does this automatically. I attached a review video for the hitches for you to check out...

  • You absolutely found the best option to help with the bounce you are experiencing with your 1999 Ford F-250 when towing with the Ride-Rite air bags, with the correct fit being the following: - Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2550 The air bags are going to help absorb the shock of the vertical movement of your F-250's rear suspension when you hit those waves you were referring to. They can be inflated from anywhere between 5 psi to 100 psi so you may need to experiment a bit...

  • Universal 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Installation Kit for a 2004 Ford F-250 Long Bed
  • If you are using the Reese universal installation kit # RP30035 then it is compatible with your 2004 Ford F-250 long bed. The measurement from the rear edge of the bed to the back edge of the rear rail is 32-1/2 inches on your truck. The rails and brackets can be reused but not the hardware. It is meant to be torqued down just once. To replace the hardware you will need # 58164. If you are using a different 5th wheel installation kit I would need to know what it is to determine if it...

  • Will Puck Repair Kit Work With Demco Hijacker 5th Wheel Hitch on 2011 Ford F-350 Super Duty
  • The Puck Service Kit # 58253 you referenced will work for your 2011 Ford F-350 if it had the OEM puck system and the pucks are not there for some reason (you may want to give a local Ford dealer a call with your VIN to ensure the truck did come with the 5th wheel prep package). If so, then you can absolutely use the Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch, and this would be a fantastic choice for a hitch - it combines quality with the ease of use that the automatic sliding feature gives...

  • How To Adapt A F2400 Firestone Ride-Rite Kit To a F2550 Firestone Ride-Rite Kit

This will allow for our customers to fix/amend their current setup in addition to cases like yours where supplementary parts are needed to make sure certain kits are compatible with a certain vehicle. Since the Firestone Ride-Rite Kit, # F2400, was designed specifically for the 2005-2007 Super Duty trucks, you will have to replace most of the components for it to work with your current...
