Do You Recommend the Firestone # F95FV or the # F35FV For My 2022 Ford F-250 Super Duty 4x4?
Question:
I have a 2022 Ford F-250 SD 4x4 and I am looking to add Firestone rear axle air bags. Should I go with the 7,500 pound or the 5,000 pound?

Expert Reply:
According to the specs I have on your 2022 Ford F-250 Super Duty, the weight of your vehicle has a gross weight range of 5,677 to 7,538 pounds. With this amount of weight, I definitely recommend the 7,500 pound Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs # F95FV over the 5,000 pound Ride-Rites # F35FV. With the 7,500 pound capacity, you will ultimately be able to adjust the air bags for a higher range of firmness than the 5,000 pound model. Also, the Red Label air bags can be inflated up to 150 psi while the 5,000 pound model can only go up to 100 psi. The Red Label is compatible with 4-wheel drive models.
For greater customization of the inflation, I recommend a compressor like the Firestone Air Command II # F2219 or the wireless Air Lift WirelessAIR # AL74000EZ. Both of these systems are dual-path, which means you will be able to inflate the air bags independently from each other. Also, in addition to the Bluetooth capability, the WirelessAIR provides you with continuous diagnostic reports to ensure that the air bags are running safely and efficiently.
