Air Bag Suspension System and Air Compressor for a 1999 Ford F-350

Question:

I asked this question before, but can no longer find find your response. I have a 1999 Ford F350 4WD, single wheel. I want to usr airbags in tandem with my WDH. Again, what do you recommend? And will I need to remove springs or anything to install? Thanks.

Sorry you weren't able to find that old question. For your 1999 Ford F-350 I recommend the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs with Internal Jounce Bumpers item # AL88390. These have a 5,000-lb weight capacity they will work well with a weight distribution system to keep your truck level. The air bags reduce the strain on your rear suspension, increase safety, and compensate for uneven loads. They level your truck from front to back and adjust independently for side-to-side leveling of off-center loads. They also improve steering and braking performance. The LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate air springs have internal bumpers, so you get the adjustable load support of air springs and the comfort and reliability of jounce springs. The jounces also work as a fail-safe if your air springs lose pressure. I have linked the installation instructions and took a look at them for you. You will not have to remove any springs. It is a simple and straight forward install.

I also recommend adding the Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System for Air Helper Springs - Remote - Bluetooth - EZ Mount item # AL74000EZ. Air Lift's premium, wireless, onboard compressor system with Bluetooth allows you to fill your air springs at the touch of a button. The WirelessAIR also automatically maintains pre-set air pressure levels.
