Fit of Air Lift # AL88212 Air Suspension on 2009 Ford F350 w/ Custom 5th Wheel Install Brackets  

Question:

I purchased the air lift load lifter ultimate kit 88212 for my 2009 Ford F-350 with a Reese 5th wheel hitch, which I also purchased from you as well, and the air bags dont fit with the hitch plates. Is there a kit that I can get to make them fit or how can install the air bags with the 5th wheel kit. The 5th wheel kit has a rather large bolt that sticks out from the plate that does not allow the air bag top mounting plate to sit flush and the plate makes the bolts for the airbags too short now. Thank you for any help in this matter.

Expert Reply:

We do have an air suspension application that is compatible with your fifth wheel frame brackets. If your truck is a 2WD model, use # AL57397 or # AL57398 for 4WD models. The spring brackets mount to the bottom of the frame members, so the existing fifth wheel brackets won't interfere.

The Air Lift # AL88212 system you currently have is unfortunately not compatible with the custom 5th wheel frame brackets, only with the universal fifth wheel mounting bracket kit, part # RP30035. I've checked with Air Lift, and I'm told that there's no modification that can safely be made that would allow your current air bag kit to fit.
