Recommended Suspension Enhancement That Wont Ruin The Ride In My 2022 Ford F-250

Question:

I want to get some kind of enhancement for the rear suspension in my new 2022 Ford F-250. I was originally looking at the Timbren TFRTT350J since it is heavy duty, but I am now hearing that it can affect my ride pretty bad. I like how this rides when I'm not towing so I don't want to screw that up. Is this accurate? And if so, what else do you recommend?

You are correct in that the Timbren Suspension Enhancement System # TFRTT350J will affect the ride of your 2022 Ford F-250 Super Duty pretty severely. Something like this is intended more for use with service bodies or truck bed campers that will be used full time, so it is not the way I recommend going.

With that said, I do recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs # F95FV. These can be inflated up to 150 psi giving you 7,500 pounds of load leveling support, but can then be deflated down to 5 psi, which will return you to the more comfortable stock ride feel. If you will not be towing full time, this will definitely be the better way to go.

As a potential add on for this, I recommend the Firestone Air Command II # F2219 compressor system. This will allow you to not only inflate and deflate the air bags on the fly, but it can also fill each bag individually. This means that is one side of the bed is heavier than the other, you can fill one side more to completely level everything out. It is a very nice thing to have.
