Recommended Air Bags for 2010 Ford F-250 with Gooseneck Hitch and 4 Inch Lift

Question

Question:

Im pretty sure I have on my 2010 F-250 part number BWGNRK1108. It was on it when I bought the truck. I am wondering if there is an air bag assist system that will work with this hitch still installed? If there are multiple what kit do yall recommend? Please note my truck has a 4 inch lift kit. Blocks on the back and is running on 37 inch tall tires. Hoping to get a kit to help with the ride quality in the back and the sagging when towing. I tow an off road jeep on a 16 foot car hauler a couple times a month. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

We do have air bags for a 2010 Ford F-250 Super Duty with the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1108 and a 4 inch lift.

I recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2550 which fit your truck with your gooseneck hitch and the air bags can be adjusted individually from 5 psi to 100 psi so you can set them differently when you are towing or not towing; they also have a 5,000 lb load-leveling capacity. The Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2550 are made in the USA and the air bags themselves come with a lifetime warranty. Please note that your F-250 must have the stock jounce bumpers on your vehicle since it has a lift in order to use the Ride-Rite springs.

Since you have a 4 inch lift on your truck it is likely you will need the Lift Spacers # F2371 which is for vehicles with a 4 inch lift and measure between 9-1/2 inches and 10-1/2 inches between the upper and lower brackets, though you will need to take this measurement after the Ride-Rite springs are already installed.

I also strongly recommend installing the Air Command Compressor System # F2610 with the helper springs because of its wireless control which allows you to adjust the air pressure in each bag from the comfort of your truck's cab as opposed to having to potentially brave a chilling cold or sweltering heat before making a trip.

I have added links to video reviews and installations of both the air springs and compressor for you to take a look at.

Answer 1

From what I could find it looks like your 122R (red) and 122Y (amber) lights measure 3.75" x 1.70" x .81". We don't have any replacement lense directly for the GLO-BRITE lights but we do have some similar lights that you could use…

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…

A drop axle certainly can make it tough to reach the star wheel adjuster on a drum brake. The adjuster spoon tool we offer #W80630 has a 90-degree bend that will often let you get access to the adjuster even on a drop axle. Essentially you will need…

The two sizes you mentioned are pretty similar and fit many of the same 15 inch wheels. The 205/75-15 fits rim widths of 5 inch to 6-1/2 inch whereas the 225/75-15 fits widths that are 5 inch to 6 inch. The 205 is 27.1 inches tall and the 225 is 28.4…

Since you have a wheelbase/axle spacing of 38 inches the correct hanger kit for slipper springs would be the part #HAP-105-205-01. And then for a 7k trailer axle the u-bolt kit you'd want would be the part #APUBR-8. I attached the diagram to use…

I did some checking and the hub/drum we offer that will work for you is the part #8-430-5UC3. This uses the same bearings as the 8-415 and will be an exact fit aside from the fact this is a non-ABS setup and the 8-415 came in an ABS setup and non-ABS…

Seal 171255UC has an inner diameter of 1.719 inches and outer diameter of 2.565 inches. A seal that has those dimensions would actually be #58846. I've added a link to a video review of this seal for you to take a look at.

While we may have an option for you, we do not have the exact specs on your Allis grease seal part number 5013 29772. However, with the 1.6" ID and 2.5" OD measurements you provides, that is very close to our #58846. This particular grease…

Based on my research, the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 8,000-lb E-Z Lube Axles #AKHD-865-8-EZ-K will be a replacement for the 90865 Rockwell hub and drum. Both of these hub and drum assemblies are 12-1/4" diameter, have an 8,000 lb capacity,…

The manual lockout on your Atwood 85778 surge brake coupler is there so that you can back up the trailer without the brakes locking up on you. Yes you can safely tow your trailer with the broken manual lockout, you just have to make sure you…
