Can Truck with Firestone Ride Rite Kit be Jacked Up by Frame
Question:
I have the Firestone 2525 air bags installed on my 2014 F-150 Lariat 4x4. It appears that if the truck were jacked up by the frame for something like replacing the rear shocks, it would be hanging from the air bags because the shock travel is longer than the air bags at full extension. Is that OK? It doesnt seem like you would want the weight of the whole rear axle and tires hanging on the air bags.

Expert Reply:
Yes, I confirmed with my contact at Firestone that if you jack up the frame of your truck with the Firestone air bag kit part # F2525 installed you'll be totally fine. The bags will stretch due to the weight of the truck but Firestone assured me that it's not bad for them in any way.
