Comparing Timbren and Air Bags for a 2021 Ford F-350 Super Duty

Question:

I have a 2021 F350 6.7L Diesel SRW. We love the new truck, but my wife is unhappy with the rough ride we get especially when we are not towing. The truck is stock height I dont want to lift it and has the original shocks on it. Would air bags help with ride quality while driving it unloaded? What do you experts suggest? Please advise...

The Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs part # F95FV and Timbren Suspension Enhancement System part # TFRTT350J are both excellent options for a 2021 Ford F-350 Super Duty. The main benefit of air bags is that you can adjust them so you always get the best mix between support and comfort. The air bags also allow for a factory unloaded ride since you can just let the air out when you're not towing or hauling. The main benefit of the jounce spring replacement is that they don't require maintenance. I recommend the air bags as the fine tuning really makes for the best possible experience while towing or hauling.

If you want to make on-board adjustments on the fly to the air bags you can add a compressor like the Air Lift WirelessONE Compressor System part # AL25980EZ.
