Recommended Rear Air Suspension for 2008 F-450 Class C Motor Home
Question:
I am considering adding Air Suspension to the rear of my 2008 28 foot class c motor home. I also plan on putting in a compressor and fill system that would allow me to fill each side independently. What would you consider to be my best option for such an addition.

Expert Reply:
I would recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2176, because of the 4-ply rubber springs.
The double convoluted Ride-Rite air springs are designed to give you maximum load support and enhance the performance and ride comfort of your Ford F-450 Cab and Chassis. For the # F2176 to fit the distance from the outside of the frame to the inside of the tire must be at least 7.5 inches.
We have several heavy duty compressors and tanks to choose from as well as analog # F2168 or # F2610 which is wireless and controlled from your smartphone. The air reservoir tanks allow for faster inflation of air springs. I have linked a page to all the different types of compressors for your convenience.
