Rear Suspension Enhancement Options for a 2017 Ford F-150 With Lowering Kit Installed

Question:

I have a 2017 F150, XLT, 6.5 ft bed with 3.5TT and 10 speed. I had the Ford Performance Lowering kit installed 1.5inch front and 2.5inch rear over factory. Are there any air helper system/kits that I would be able to install that will fit in the reduced area? Looking for helper 2000lb to carrying 5000lb load.

The best option for you to add some load assistance to your 2017 Ford F-150 would be to use a RoadActive Suspension Kit. You will want to use part # RAS3611-Y if your F-150 is 4-wheel drive, and part # RAS3611-B for a 2-wheel drive model.

I contacted our other manufacturers about air helper springs and they said that the air helper systems will not be able to fit with the 2.5 inch drop on your F-150.
