Recommended Rear Suspension Enhancement for a 2020 Ford Transit T350 with Dual Rear Wheels
Question:
Wanting to add some suspension helper stuff to the back of my 2020 Ford T350 with DRW. I've never really looked into this before so I'm definitely open to suggestions. Any help would be appreciated!

I have a few different suggestions and it all depends on what style of 2020 Ford Transit T350 you have.
If your T350 is a cargo van then the best suspension enhancement available is the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Spring Kit # F2603 because you can manually adjust how much help your rear suspension is getting at any given point in time. To help you monitor and control the amount of psi in the air springs I also recommend installing the Air Command Compressor System # F2610. This not only keeps you from having to locate a compressor to adjust your air bags but it also pairs with a smartphone app so you can easily keep track of what's going on with the system.
For a passenger wagon (or another viable option for the cargo van) I recommend the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SSR-121-54. These differ from the Firestone Ride-Rite kit in that as they compress they provide more resistance which means more control for your OEM suspension. There is no adjusting to these springs but there is also no maintenance. There is no Ride-Rite kit for the passenger wagon otherwise I'd recommend that as the better option.
So in comparison, the Ride-Rite kit only fits the cargo van, offers more control over the control of your suspension, but since it deals with air there is some maintenance required. The SumoSprings, on the other hand, easily install and require no maintenance, but you also lose the ability to adjust them to your specifications.
