Will Fifth Wheel Installation Kit and Base Rail Work on 2007 Ford F-250 With Airlift 5000

Question

Question:

Thanks Kyle. I just found the info on the Airlift 5000 kit installed on my truck. It is the Load Lifter 5000 #57398 kit. Will the HT31407-686 kit work? Looks like one of the stop bolts might be in the way unless it just requires a longer bolt. Thanks again

You can install a 16K Husky fifth wheel hitch in your 2007 Ford F-250 with the Air Lift 5000 # AL88398; though if you let me know the exact part number of your Air Lift kit I would be able to offer you more details.

Thank you for the updated information; the Air Lift 5000 # AL57398 will require you to use a base rail kit that is not a custom application. The Reese Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit # RP30035 is a confirmed fit for your 2007 Ford F-250 and will not interfere with the side brace of your Air Lift 5000 kit. So though it is not a Husky brand, you will be able to use a Husky hitch with the rails. I've added links to video reviews of this kit for you to take a look at.

Answer 11

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…
