Recommended Air Helper Springs For A 2021 Ford F-250 Super Duty

Question

Question:

We’ve got the Jayco HT Fifth Wheel 24.5 Ckts and an F250 tv... into our second year now and we are going to start venturing forth on longer trips so I am considering airlift bags for the added safety factor. Putting it out there... Firestone or Airlift? Do you find these make a big difference in handling? Worth the money?

When it comes to installing air helper springs on your 2021 Ford F-250 Super Duty The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle # AL23FJ is confirmed to fit your vehicle.

The Air Lift springs have a 5,000 pound capacity, and are designed to upgrade your rear suspension, they also provide high quality, full time load support. They will help level your Ford F-250 super duty, when improving the braking and ride comfort and reducing the strain on your rear suspension and improving both safety and ride quality.

The air bags have adjustable air pressure between 5 psi to 100 psi. They're constructed of 2-ply, fabric-reinforced rubber. I also recommend The Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System for Air Helper Springs - Remote - Bluetooth - EZ Mount # AL74000EZ.

Using this compressor kit will let you adjust both air springs independently and lets you level your vehicle front to back. It has Bluetooth compatibility and mobile app will turn your smart phone into a fully-functional controller. The compressor uses the EZ mount with integrated compressor and manifold for a simple, no drill install. The compressor also delivers advanced diagnostic reports, ensuring the vehicle safety, and will notify you of any leaks or compressor failures.

In my opinion these are better then Firestone because it is easier to get replacement parts if needed.
