Firestone Ride-Rite Air Bag Kit for a 2018 Ford F-150

Question:

What Firestone air bag kit fits my 2018 F-150? I want to get some extra help for my suspension when I am hauling things but thinking they will be useful for towing down the road as well.

The correct Firestone Ride-Rite air bag kit for your 2018 Ford F-150 is part # F2582. The Ride-Rite kit features double-convoluted design which helps keep them in great shape for a longer period of time when compared to other air bag kits. This kit has a 4,800 lb weight capacity but please note that it will not increase the weight rating of your pickup as it is meant only to support a suspension system that is in good working condition.

I also recommend installing a compressor kit so that you don't have to hunt down a compressor when you need to add air to this kit. Since F-150s mainly do light duty work I recommend the Air Command II # F2178 which has a standard-duty compressor and fills each air bag independently of each other which will be great for when you are hauling things.

Please note that it will not fit a Raptor model or if you have an in-bed hitch like what you would use for towing a gooseneck or 5th wheel trailer.

Attached are installation videos for both products on older model F-150s as well as the written instructions for you to reference.
