Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for a 2015 Ford F-250 for Fifth Wheel Towing
Question:
i tow fifth wheel camper with a hitch weight of 1550 pounds .. the rear of my 2015 F-250 4x4 sags 2 and 1/2 inches with this load ...I had previously towed this same camper with a 2013 F-150, when the camper was connected the 150 would go down in the front and rear and would be level , the 250 only goes down in the rear and looks like its overloaded, which is disgusting ,,,,you have several different products available , which one would be the best solution for my wimpy springs ??? thank you ,,,

For suspension enhancement for your 2015 Ford F-250 that is compatible with the fifth wheel hitch you have installed in the bed of your truck you would want the part # F2550 for if you have a gasoline engine or part # F2597 for if you have a diesel engine. Air bags do require a tiny bit of maintenance as you have to keep at least 5 psi in the bags, but the ease of adjustability with them make them a great choice.
I attached install videos for both products mentioned.
For a compressor kit you would then want the part # F2158. This will make inflating and maintaining pressure in the bags easy.
