Can I Use Firestone Ride Rite Air Helper Springs on 2012 Ford F-250 with In Bed 5th Wheel Hitch

Question:

I have a 2012 F250 Super Duty. I have installed a Reece 15000 lb fifth wheel slider hitch. My question is: Can I install a Ride Rite Air Helper Springs?

Yes. The Firestone Ride Rite # F2597 is compatible with in bed 5th wheel hitches, so you're not going to have any problems with compatibility on your 2012 Ford F-250. These bags do come with manual inflation valves included but if you're interested in a solution that will allow you to inflate on the go, I recommend adding the Firestone Air Command II - Analog Gauge w/ Heavy Duty Compressor - Dual Function - 150 psi # F2219. This compressor system will allow you to inflate your air bag system on the go and adjust the air bags individually to compensate for off center loads.

I've linked some informational and installations on these parts for you to have a look at, as well.
