Recommended RoadActive Suspension For 2019 Ford Transit T350

Question

Question:

Hello, The normal roadmasters say 2000lbs capacity and the heavy duty are 3000lbs capacity, but I do not know what this is in relation to? I have a Transit 350 that will be somewhere in the 8000-8500 neighborhood with gear and we do not plan to tow. Should we be considering the normal or the heavy duty roadmaster? Is there any drawback to going with the heavy duty in case our load requirements or towing changes? Thanks.

The 2000lb rating of the RoadActive Suspension # RAS3623-GT or 3000lb rating of the Heavy Duty Version # RAS3623-HD refers to the amount of support that each kit will add to your rear suspension. This is not counting the weight of your vehicle, but just weight added like tongue weight of a trailer or weight from heavy cargo.

These kits are unique in the sense that they do not stiffen up your suspension and give you a harsh ride like other styles of suspension enhancement, and instead improve the loaded and unloaded ride quality of your 2019 Ford Transit T350 by eliminating axle wrap, body roll, and sway.

Keep in mind neither of these kits fit the Dual Rear Wheel, 350HD, or Cutaway Chassis models.

Either option will be fine sine you are not towing a trailer with your vehicle, so I recommend the # RAS3623-GT as it is more cost effective.

I included videos of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.

If your 2021 Ford Transit T250 is a high roof model, the Timbren #TFRTR350 you'd looked at would be a fit. This being said, the Timbren #TFRTR350 which provide a combined 5600 lb capacity would provide a pretty harsh ride, which I'm not…

The 7290 that you see is a casting number. It is found on AL-KO hubs that fit #99 spindles. I found that the bearings used are #28580 which would be the inner bearing and #25580 which would be the outer bearing. For the seal use #91030.

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…

Answer 12

It sounds like the purpose of getting the air helper spring would be to counteract the 1 inch compression you're getting in your rear suspension caused by the pin weight of your 5th wheel. If that's the case, I believe that the AirLift 5000…
