Correct Lift Kit Spacer Needed for Firestone Ride-Rite on a 2003 Ford F-250 with 6" Lift

Question

Question:

I have a 2002 F250 4x4 with a 6 inch lift. I have bought the Firestone Ride rite helper springs part F2550. I know I need a spacer but I am confused about which one to get. I am pretty much asking the same question the other gentleman did on the previous qanda . I am needing to know witch spacer I need for model 2550 . I looked at the one previous qanda and and you’re expert suggested the f2375 spacer but on the description it isn’t saying anything about the 2550 model set ? Plus it doesn’t appear by the photo that it is the correct spacer Please advise correct lift spacer . Thank you

Sometimes choosing a spacer can be a little confusing (since some lift kits aren't "true" lift kits) but I'm here to help you out. To determine the correct lift kit for the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2550 you just need to use the formula Firestone put together. Simply measure the distance between where the brackets would be on your 2002 Ford F-250 and choose from the following:

6-1/2" - 7-1/2" - Lift Spacer # F2536
7-1/2" - 8-1/2" - Lift Spacer # F2366
8-1/2" - 9-1/2" - Lift Spacer # F2367
9-1/2" - 10-1/2" - Lift Spacer # F2370
11-1/2" - 12-1/2" - Lift Spacer # F2374

Don't necessarily go off of the 6" label that comes with your lift kit. Just use these measurements to get the exact kit that you need.

If you do not know the height added by your truck's lift kit you can measure the distance between the upper and lower brackets (without the air bag) to determine which spacer you need to fill the gap. For a 2-inch spacer use #F2366; for a 3-inch…

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…

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…
