Recommended Firestone Ride Rite Helper Springs for Light Hauling with 2012 Ford F150
Question:
I drive a 2012 ford f150 and do some light hauling. My neighbor recommended Firestone air springs. Which ones should I get?

Expert Reply:
As long as your F 150 isn't a SVT Raptor or an FX2 model, and the distance from the outside of the frame member to the inside of the tire isn't less than 8 inches, the Firestone Ride Rite Kit, part # F2525 would be a good choice for you. You can add or remove air as needed to add support and eliminate rear end sag caused by whatever you're hauling.
If you'd be interested in a compressor system that would allow you to inflate or deflate the air bags at the push of a button without having to leave the truck cab, I'd recommend the Firestone Air Level Command, part # F2158. Keep in mind that using an air helper spring system won't increase the weight bearing capability of your vehicle.
I've linked you to some install videos you might find helpful.
