How to Tell if 2" Lifted 2012 Ford F-250 Super Duty Needs Spacers for Air Bag Kit
Question:
I’m looking at the rear air bag kit for my 2012 ford f-250. I have a 2 inch lift blocks on my truck. Will the kit fit with the lift or do you have spacers for the air bag

Great question!
It all depends on how much space you have between your truck frame and where the mounting bracket attaches to the axle on your 2012 Ford F-250 Super Duty.
For example, the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2597 fits the standard 2012 F-250 ride height but you'll need the 2" Spacer Kit # F2366 if you have 7.5" - 8.5" between the upper and lower brackets. Basically, if your lift is a body lift you don't need the spacers but if it lifts the frame of the vehicle (like a leaf spring block lift would) then you'll need the spacer.
