When it comes to installing suspension enhancement on your 2009 Ford F250 6.4L King Ranch with a 3 inch lift with a BandW Gooseneck Hitch The Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Double Convoluted - Rear Axle # F2550 is confirmed to fit.

This air bag system has a load-leveling capacity of 5,000 pounds. It improves steering control and braking when you are hauling or towing. It also helps soften contact between the axle and the frame to help prevent bottoming out. The adjustable air pressure is from 5 PSI to 100 PSI.

When installing the suspension enhancement kit on your vehicle because of the 3 inch lift you have you will also need a spacer kit to install it properly, to get the proper kit you would need to measure the distance between the axle of your vehicle and the frame. If it is exactly 3 inches then The Lift Spacers for Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Vehicles w/ 3 inch Lift # F2368 will work. This system will fit a vehicle with a 3 inch lift and from 8.5 inches to 9.5 inches between the upper and lower brackets.

The Air Command Compressor System w/ Light Duty Compressor - Wireless - Smartphone Enabled - Single Path # F2610 will work well with the Firestone air bags. This wireless system connects directly to your smart phone for operation, no remote needed. This single-path system will keep both your air springs at the same air pressure.
