Fifth Wheel Rail Kit and Timbren Suspension Kit Recommendation for 2010 Ford F-150
Question:
I just purchased a 5th wheel camper and it came with a 5th wheel plate. My question is, is I have a 2010 ford f150 4x4 with a 6 1/2 ft bed and want air bags and need a rail kit to install to fit the plate. Which ones are compatible with rear air suspension bags and a rail kit? Thank you for you time

Expert Reply:
For your 2010 Ford F-150 we do have suspension enhancement kits that will fit and are compatible with fifth wheel rail kits, but none of the air bag style kits are going to work. Instead the Timbren kit part # TFR1504D will work well as it has been confirmed as a fit with rail kits. What's great about this kit is that it never requires you to inflate air bags or maintain anything. Once you install them you are good to go and don't have to think about them.
For a fifth wheel rail kit you would want to go with a custom fit kit as it will minimize drilling and install time like the Reese kit part # RP50081-58 which is a confirmed fit.
