Air Bag Rear Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for a 2012 Ford F-350
Question:
is there a kit made for a ford f350 2012?

Expert Reply:
The air bag kit I recommend for your 2012 Ford F-350 Super Duty is the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F2597 because Firestone uses 4 ply rubber vs. the 2 ply rubber used in their competitor's air bags. It is also nice to know that you are using bags manufactured by a company that is well known and trusted in the heavy-duty truck and towing sector.
This kit fits 2WD and 4WD models, but it will not fit models with the V10 gas engine with extended cab and 8ft bed. If you have this model, then I recommend going with the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement Springs, # TFR350SDF. This is another great product that will hold up for a long time. The biggest thing that you lose with the Timbren springs is the adjustability of the air bags. Otherwise, these springs will hold up to any load your truck can handle.
I've attached installation videos and instruction manuals of both products for you to check out if you plan on tackling the installation yourself.
