• What To Do When The Firestone Ride-Rite Springs Are Put Onto A Vehicle Frame Lift For Service?
• If it is necessary to lift your 2012 Ford F-150 by the frame, first release the air pressure from the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2542. This will allow the air springs to extend to their maximum length without being damaged.

If the vehicle is to remain on the lift for an extended period of time I recommend using some jacks to support some of the weight from...

• Is The Weight Capacity Of A Landing Gear The Capacity Of The Jacks Or The Max GVWR Of The Trailer
• The 6,000lb rating of the Lippert Electric Landing Gear Set # LC333964 is the combined weight capacity of the jacks (i.e each jack can support up to 3,000lbs of weight). This is pretty typical since it's only supporting a fraction of the weight, with the majority on the axle(s). It weighs approximately 73lbs. As for the travel speed, I reached out to Lippert but was unable to get a specific speed rating from them and we haven't had an opportunity to test this landing gear while under...

• Will the Air Lift LoadLifter Air Springs for a 2010 Chevy Silverado 1500 Lift the Truck Unloaded
• The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Plus Air Springs part # AL88204 which is a fit for a 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is not designed to raise the ride height. That said, if you were to inflate the air bags without weight in the bed or attached to the trailer hitch then the rear of the truck would indeed lift up. I don't have an exact amount of lift provided as it will vary based on the psi and again the system isn't designed to lift the truck. However, I can say around 1" of lift is...

• The only difference in steps that are faceted as having Ground Contact or No Ground Contact is that the steps that have ground contact have a portion of the steps that comes in complete contact with the ground while those labeled No Ground Contact are not supported by the ground at all.

• The Swagman Roamer LT Roof Rack for Pop-Up Campers and Camper Shells part # S80510 has a 150 lb weight capacity. It looks like most are around 100-150 lbs so you should be fine using this as an attachment point for lifting although that is not really what it's designed for.

• Should PSI of Air Lift 7500 XL Air Bags for 2020 GMC Sierra 2500 be Based on Pin Weight of Trailer
• Yes, it does sound correct; you can use the pin weight calculation for the psi of the Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs # AL57541 on your 2020 GMC Sierra 2500. That said, it doesn't have to be that exact, and you can use your calculations more as a baseline if you like. You can test it out using that air pressure as sort of a starting point, and adjust from there. If you go to 31 psi and your truck is level with the full pin weight then awesome, you're set. But if you're...

• Does Air Lift Vehicle Air Bag Kit for the 1967 Pontiac GTO # AL60844 Provide Lift in Ride Height
• The Air Lift Vehicle Suspension Kit for the 1967 Pontiac GTO, part # AL60844, is a correct fit for the 1967 GTO (as long as it is not the wagon model).

• The Ultra-Fab Power Twin II Electric Stabilizer # UF39-941705 is very effective at leveling your trailer because it will support the width of your travel trailer and has a pair of 12 volt motors which operate separately from each other so each side can be put at the appropriate height.

• Will SumoSprings Coil Spring Suspension Work With Firestone Air Suspension On 2010 Toyota RAV4
• The Coil SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs, part # CSS-1125R are not intended to lift your 2010 RAV4, but are designed to provide extra support when carrying heavy loads. These are designed to work with a suspension system in good working order. They will not increase the load-carrying capacity of the RAV4. I would not recommend using the SumoSprings with Firestone air suspension like part # F4174 at the same time since the Firestone system installs in the coil springs and may interfere...

These cradles are made of 1/8-inch thick galvanized steel and come with a slotted mounting hole so you can adjust it when installing. If you need marine-grade carpeting for your bunk boards I recommend...

• Will Air Lift Air Bags Raise 2018 Ram 2500 When Unloaded
• Air bags are not really going to raise your 2018 Ram 2500 when it is unloaded, as they simply serve as a support mechanism for your current suspension; it is possible the back of your truck could ride at most an inch or so higher, but it won't serve as a lift. This is true of all air bags, including the ones you asked about from Air Lift, the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57289. The air bags of the # AL57289 measure 6 inches tall as a standard, but there isn't an inflated/deflated...
