Installing Firestone Ride Rite Kit # F2582 on 2018 Ford F-150 King Ranch 4WD

Question

Question:

Ive ordered and will be installing the Ride Rite F2582 airbags on my 2018 King Ranch F150 4x4. To level this vehicle I have previously lowered the rear end 1inch by removing the 1inch lift blocks that sit on tope of the rear axle I am still using the stock leaf spring u-bolts, there were plenty of threads. Based on this change should I follow the 4x2 instructions for this kit or proceed with the 4x4 installation?

Since you lowered your 2018 King Ranch F150 4x4 by an inch by removing a spacer between the leaf springs and the axle and didn't affect the actual suspension travel I'd recommend installing the Firestone kit part # F2582 like the 4x4 instructions show by not using the spacer.

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…
