Comparing Firestone And Air Lift Air Helper Springs For 2018 Ford F-150 XLT 4WD
Question:
Good morning. Im interested in the Air Lift or Firestone Air Rite Air Suspension Kits. can you tell me which is preferable and do they come with a lifetime warranty. 2018 F150 XLT 4x4 3.5L ECO Boost Crew Cab 5.5ft bed. No Lift Kit on it.

Expert Reply:
Between the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Double Convoluted - Rear Axle # F2582 and Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs with Internal Jounce Bumpers - Rear Axle # AL88385 for your 2018 Ford F-150 XLT 4WD Crew Cab with the 3.5L Eco Boost engine I recommend the # F2582.
While both options have a limited lifetime warranty, the air springs used on the # F2582 are a higher quality making them less likely to rupture, and a crimped to the metal end plates to keep them from coming loose.
To keep from having to manually air up the air bags each time you are ready to tow I recommend adding the Air Command Compressor System w/ Light Duty Compressor - Wireless - Smartphone Enabled - Single Path # F2610 which will allow you to adjust the pressure in the air bags from your smartphone.
I included videos for each of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
