Firestone Ride-Rite Air Bags For 2002 Ford F-350 with 3 inch Lift and Fifth Wheel Rails
Question:
Hi, I have a 2002 F250 and am looking to install the Ride-Rite system that goes inside the frame rails due to my fifth wheel hitch. I have a 3inch lift block I actually measured to be sure, but I think that my springs may be sagging a bit as it doesnt look like enough space to fit the bags and a 3inch spacer. If the springs are sagging a little, how would that be addressed in terms of the bags? Same spacer or a shorter one? Im really not in a hurry to replace the springs if I dont absolutely have to. Thanks!

Expert Reply:
The correct Firestone Ride Rite Kit for your 2002 Ford F-250 is the part # F2550. This kit is compatible with fifth wheel rails as well so it would fit with your current rail kit.
Normally we don't recommend suspension enhancement for vehicles with suspension that needs work though. The best recommendation I can make is to replace the springs and then use the 3 inch blocks part # F2368 but if for some reason your suspension only really had a net of 2 inches of lift you would need the part # F2366 instead.
