Air Spring Recommendation for a 2002 Ford F250 with a 6 inch Lift Kit

Question

Question:

Few questions, Will this kit fit on a 2WD 2002 F250 with a 6inch Fabtech lift kit? It also has a hand fabed goose neck hitch I know you have no way of knowing but do you feel this kit has enough adjustablility to work around it? Thanks

Since you have a 6 inch lift kit on your 2002 Ford F-250 you would need the Lift Spacers for Firestone Ride Rite Air Springs part # F2374 to go along with the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2550.

This kit is confirmed to work on vehicles that have gooseneck hitches installed so it should work well for you, but since your setup is custom I would recommend you check out the installation instructions I attached and compare them to the hitch you have to see if the mounting hardware would interfere.

Since you have a wheelbase/axle spacing of 38 inches the correct hanger kit for slipper springs would be the part #HAP-105-205-01. And then for a 7k trailer axle the u-bolt kit you'd want would be the part #APUBR-8. I attached the diagram to use…
