Best Suspension Enhancement For 2017 Ford F-250 for Ride Quality
Question:
I have a 2017 F-250 4x4 with Curt rail system for fith wheel hitch. I pull a 30 ft fith wheel. It causes the truck to squat or sag a little in the rear. what would be better for my F-250 if I want to maintain the ride quality when not pulling the camper, air bags or sumo Springs? I put a pair of timberon helpers on a 2015 F-150 and did not like the way it rode when empty.

Expert Reply:
Air bag suspension enhancement is the best solution if you want the best unloaded ride quality. When you drop the air pressure down the minimum pressure (20 psi) it gives you basically a stock ride quality. So for your 2017 Ford F-250 the kit you'd want is the part # F2600. For a compressor kit to make maintaining and inflating the bags easy you'll then want the Firestone # F2219 and you'll be set.
