Recommended Air Helper Spring Options for Lifted 2001 Ford F250
Question:
Rear air bag recommendation for a 2001 Ford F250 Super Duty Crew Cab Short Box 4WD with either a 4inch or 6inch lift. Truck already has a set of Firestone 255C 1.5 Airstroke Actuator bags on it that need replaced.

Expert Reply:
I'd recommend the Firestone Ride Rite Air Helper Spring Kit, part # F2550. You'll need either the # F2375 6 inch or # F2371 4 inch spacer kit, depending on the amount you're truck has been lifted.
You might also be interested in an on-board compressor system like part # F2158 for the standard-duty or # F2097 for the heavy duty compressor. A compressor system would allow you to adjust the air pressure in the system using a rocker switch installed on the dash. No need to manually fill the air bags.
