5th Wheel Hitch Installation Kit and Air Bag Suspension Kit Compatibility for 2013 Ford F-150
Question:
The research on adding this fifth wheel has been overwhelming. The understanding from what I have read from other QandA and pictures shown would be that the Firestone Ride-Rite kit would not interfere with the Reese RP 56006-53 install brackets/rails. This is a 2013 F150 4x4 , 7700lb, 6.5 bed, supercab. Thanks.

The Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Installation Kit # RP56006-53 mounts to the outsides of the two frame rails on your 2013 Ford F-150 4X4. The Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Spring kit # F2525 uses brackets that also mount to the sides of the truck's frame so these two products are incompatible.
A better choice to go along with the Reese custom 5th wheel installation kit is SuperSprings kit part # SSA28.
