Will Firestone F2582 Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs Change Ride Height of 2019 Ford F-150
Question:
Firestone recommends setting the minimum pressure at 5 psi. I contacted Firestone and they said I would be fine to run 3 or 4 psi in my bags unloaded. If I buy this wireless compressor kit can I set the minimum PSI to 3 or 4 or is the wireless app set at 5 and that cannot be changed? Thanks

At the 5psi minimum recommended by Firestone, installing their # F2582 Ride-Rite kit will not change your existing ride height, as long as your suspension isn't worn and is in good working order. If the suspension is worn, it could slightly raise the ride height.
Also, you might need a lift spacer depending on how much lift has been added. If the lift is less than 1-1/2 inches, you won't need a lift spacer, according to Firestone. If the lift is greater than 1-1/2 inches, you will need a spacer.
If you find you do need a spacer, in order to determine which is needed you'll need install the upper and lower spring mounting brackets included with the # F2582 kit and measure the distance between the upper and lower bracket with the vehicle sitting on the ground (see diagram). This distance will determine which spacer you need.
• If the distance is between 6-1/2 and 7-1/2 inches, use the # F2536
• For distances between 7-1/2 and 8-1/2 inches, use # F2366
• For distances between 8-1/2 and 9-1/2 inches, use # F2367
• For distances between 9-1/2 and 10-1/2 inches, use # F2370
• For distances between 11-1/2 and 12-1/2 inches, use # F2374
I've linked to a video showing the # F2582 Kit being installed on a 2019 Ford F-150.
