Recommended Air Helper Spring Kit For 2017 Ford F-150 Shelby
Question:
I have a 2017 f150 Shelby, which has a 4 inch lift with the fox shocks from the raptor but is on the f150 chassis. I would like to add an airbag system for towing.

I recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Double Convoluted # F2582 which my contact at Firestone confirmed will fit your 2017 Ford F-150 Shelby as long as you do not have the Shelby Raptor which does use the Raptor frame.
There are spacers available for lifted vehicle's which are 3" Lift Spacers # F2368, 4" Lift Spacers # F2371, 5" Lift Spacers # F2373, and 6" Lift Spacers # F2375.
To make sure you select the correct spacer the first time I recommend measuring the distance from the bottom of the air spring to the bottom bracket as a 4" lift might not actually raise the suspension 4".
To make adjusting the air pressure in your Ride-Rite Springs as easy as hitting a button I recommend adding the Wireless Air Command Compressor System # F2610 which connects to your smart phone via Bluetooth to keep you from having to manually increase and decrease the air pressure when the weight of your load changes.
I included a video for all of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
