Recommended Air Helper Springs For A 2020 Ford Transit T250 With 6 Inch Lift

Question

Question:

I have a 2020 Ford Transit cargo van that has been converted to a camper. With the load it now carries I measure about 6 inches of space between the frame and rear axle. Will one of the sumospring options fit in this space? Thank you!

When installing Air Helper Springs on your 2020 Ford Transit T250 with a 6 inch lift I recommend The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs with Internal Jounce Bumpers - Rear Axle # AL88213. The Sumo Spring option # SSR-121-54 will not work because there is not way to get it to work with the 6 inch lift.

The Airlift # AL88213 has a 2-ply, fabric-reinforced rubber air spring which is very durable. The load-leveling capacity is up to 5,000 pounds, and the adjustable air pressure is 5 psi to 100 psi. To give the springs to fit your lift The Air Lift Universal Air Spring Spacers for LoadLifter 5000 and 7500XL - 6 inch Lift - Qty 2 # AL52460. Using these will close the gap between the helper springs and your lifted suspension system.

To properly determine which lift spacer you need you will have to measure on a flat level surface, the distance between the mounting surface on the upper and lowing brackets. Then subtract the height of the air spring at design height.

The Air Lift Load Controller II Compressor System for Air Helper Springs - Single Path # AL25592 will allow you to adjust 1 pair of air springs with a single-path, in-cab controller and gauge. It will help maintain equal air pressure in both springs for front-to-back leveling. It also boasts quiet, has a high-volume airflow for a virtually vibration-free operation.
