Question

Question:

2012 F150 with BWGNRK1104 hitch - what air suspension? Good day, I have a 2012 F150 FX4 ecoboost 6.5foot bed with a BandW BWGNRK1104 hitch installed and wanting to add some suspension to the truck. I was initially thinking Air Lift however it looks like it conflicts with the fram e install? What would you recommend? Thanks in advance!

The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle # AL57200 or the similar option # AL88200 that includes the internal jounce bumpers for additional protection are compatible with your B&W gooseneck hitch. These attach to the underside of the frame and also to the axle so there is no interference. Each of these kits will come with manual inflation valves so you can adjust the pressure in your air springs to level your truck from sag and adjust ride comfort.

You may also be interested in the Air Lift Load Controller II Compressor System for Air Helper Springs - Single Path # AL25592 for the ability to adjust your spring pressure from the comfort of your cab at any time. Another great option is the heavy duty dual path # AL25856 which will allow you to adjust each side individually for off-center loads.
