Can Firestone Air Springs be Installed on a 2008 Ford F-250 with a Lift

Question:

I have a 2008 Ford F-250 I replaced the stock 2inch rear blocks with the bumper arm, with 4 inch rear blocks with the bumper arm. My question is will this still fit with that extra 2 inch height or is their a adaptor that I could use or will I need to reinstall the stock 2 inch factory blocks?

If by bumper arm you mean the jounce stop that sits above the axle and makes contact with the jounce bumpers then it would be a problem IF the jounce stop is up any higher than stock. There is a bracket in the Firestone Ride-Rite kit # F2550 that fits around that stop and also sits on the axle. If the stop is higher the bracket can't rest on the axle like it is supposed to.

If that stop is in the same place but the distance between the frame and axle has increased 2 inches then you will need a set of spacers # F2366.
