Air Bag Helper Springs For a 2018 Ford F-350 Cab and Chassis

Question

Question:

Hi! We bought these AL88399 for our 2018 F350 SD but our frame bump stops have only one bolt. We have pictures if you want to see. What do we do?

Your 2018 Ford F-350 is a Cab and Chassis model and not a Super Duty. For this you will need to use the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2176 as long as you have 7-1/2" between your frame and the inside of the tires. The Air Lift # AL88399 will only fit on the Super Duty models. Currently Air Lift does not offer a kit for your F-350 Cab and Chassis model.

It sounds like the purpose of getting the air helper spring would be to counteract the 1 inch compression you're getting in your rear suspension caused by the pin weight of your 5th wheel. If that's the case, I believe that the AirLift 5000…

Personally I wouldn't go with Timbren's for your needs. They're essentially rubber bump stops that prevent your suspension from flexing when weights placed on the rear of your Canyon. The major issue with them is comfortability when you…

Hey Michael, thanks for reaching out! The Timbren Active Off-Road Bumpstops #T28GR you installed on your 2018 Ford F-150 unfortunately have that reputation among users (although Timbren claims their systems provide a smooth ride). Because of this we…

Since the pin weight of your camper is 2.1k, I recommend going with the LoadLifter 5000 opposed to the 7500. While technically there is not reason you couldn't use the 7500 kit, it really is not necessary for a camper like yours. Generally the…

There's not many differences between the Air Lift WirelessONE item #AL25980EZ and item #AL25980. The main difference is that the item #AL25980EZ has a slightly higher CFM at 1.03 compared to 0.92 and it runs slightly more efficient at 9% over 15%…

According to my contact at Firestone, their rear axle air bag kit F2535 is not a fit for your 2017 Ford F-250 diesel 4X4 but we do have options. Air Lift offers a confirmed fit in a 5th-wheel-compatible rear air bag kit, part #AL57399, which provides…
