High Capacity Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for 2017 Ford F-350
Question:
These airbag springs are rated at 5000 lbs. My 2017 F-350 has a rear axle load rating of 10,000 lbs. I routinely haul a 4000 lb camper and the rear end s some. I would like to use these airbags but my question is: What happens to the 5000 lb airbags when I load the truck with 6000 lbs of hay, which I do a couple times a year? Can the airbags survive? or will they blow?

Expert Reply:
You'd want rear suspension enhancement that has a higher weight rating since you are going to be carrying so much weight. For that the Timbren rear suspension kit part # TFRTT350J would be your best option as it has a capacity of 8,000 lbs and is a confirmed fit for your 2017 Ford F-350.
