Firestone 7,500 lb Kit or 5,000 lb Kit for a 2024 Ford F-250 Super Duty 4WD

Question:

I have a 4WD 2024 Ford F-250 Super Duty and I'm debating between the 5000 and 7500 Firestone air bag kits. which one do you recommend?

Both Firestone Ride-Rite kits are good options for your 2024 Ford F-250 Super Duty 4WD, but I like to recommend the 7,500 lb # F95FV rating over the 5,000 lb Rating # F35FV simply because it means the air bags can be used for the same application but they won't be pushed as hard as the 5K kit, even with heavier loads.

It's important to note that these don't increase your weight capacity - they're only designed to help support a suspension system that's in good working order.

I also recommend picking up the Air Lift WirelessAIR Suspension System for Air Helper Springs Kit # AL27DQ so you can monitor and adjust your air bags on the fly, plus since this comes with an air tank you gain the ability to inflate accessories like your truck tires, sports balls, and bike tires without having to be at your garage.
