Suspension Enhancement Recommendation 2001 Ford F-350 with Truck Camper to Help Reduce Body Roll

Question

Question:

Hello I have a 2001 Ford F-350 CC, 4x4, dually, 5960# load carry capacity, stock suspension and shocks. Mounted an 11foot cabover camper, 3650# loaded. Will add an extended hitch to pull 7700# TT trailer With only the Camper in place, I am experiencing excessive Roll. Would like to modify both front and rear suspension. Q In addition to SUMO or Timbren springs, what brand Shocks do you recommend? Thanks,

Since your 2001 Ford F-350 has stock shocks any shock replacement is going to give you improved ride and prevent body roll. Yours are 17 years old and are definitely worn out so even stock replacements will help quite a bit.

The best suspension enhancement kit we have for your situation is the SuperSprings Stabilizer part # SSA13 which is a confirmed fit and does an excellent job removing body roll. It actually has the best reputation for removing body roll of all of the suspension upgrade options that we offer.

Answer 1

On a truck that has overload springs, such as your 2007 Ford F-250, the overload springs could be on the top or bottom of the stack. It is often a smaller spring, yes, and it is not necessarily bound to the other springs. If the overload springs are…

The SuperSprings #SSA13 helper springs you mentioned would be an excellent choice. The helper springs feature rollers that bring the helper springs into play when the OEM suspension compresses from the pin weight of the fifth wheel, preventing squat…

Answer 5

It sounds like the purpose of getting the air helper spring would be to counteract the 1 inch compression you're getting in your rear suspension caused by the pin weight of your 5th wheel. If that's the case, I believe that the AirLift 5000…

Answer 6

The two sizes you mentioned are pretty similar and fit many of the same 15 inch wheels. The 205/75-15 fits rim widths of 5 inch to 6-1/2 inch whereas the 225/75-15 fits widths that are 5 inch to 6 inch. The 205 is 27.1 inches tall and the 225 is 28.4…

The 7290 that you see is a casting number. It is found on AL-KO hubs that fit #99 spindles. I found that the bearings used are #28580 which would be the inner bearing and #25580 which would be the outer bearing. For the seal use #91030.

Seal 171255UC has an inner diameter of 1.719 inches and outer diameter of 2.565 inches. A seal that has those dimensions would actually be #58846. I've added a link to a video review of this seal for you to take a look at.

From what I could find it looks like your 122R (red) and 122Y (amber) lights measure 3.75" x 1.70" x .81". We don't have any replacement lense directly for the GLO-BRITE lights but we do have some similar lights that you could use…

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…

According to my contact at Fantastic Vent the correct replacement lift motor to use in your vent is part #FVK6010-81, not item FVK-6050-80. The replacement motor does operate at a higher 17-RPM speed. Since your fan is of a lower rpm and manufactured…
