Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs Installation - 2005 Ford F-250

Today on our 2005 Ford F-250, we'll be installing the Firestone Ride Rite Air Helper Spring Kit, part number F2400. First, we've gone ahead and raised the vehicle up, lowered and removed the spare tire to give us more access underneath the vehicle. Now, we need to remove the jounce bumper here on the passenger side. Keep in mind, loose so you 00:00:22 get the nut that secures the jounce bumper in place. The more difficult would be as the nipple at the top of the jounce bumper will come out of the frame, so maybe necessary to secure it with a pair of pliers or Channellocks. Now with the jounce bumper out of the way, we're ready to go ahead and install the upper bracket. The upper bracket will consist of the metal bracket, the attachment bolt that will go through the bottom of the bracket to this spacer block, then to the frame at the point of where we just removed the jounce bumper. We'll secure it with a large flat washer and 3/8 lock nut. We also secured the upper bracket using a 3/4 inch, 3 inch bolt flat washer running it from outside of the frame to the inside through the bracket, then adding a large flat washer, split lock washer, and 3/4 inch nut. With both fasteners in place and secure, we're ready to move onto the lower bracket. more

Today on this 2005 Ford F-250 Super Duty we are going to install Timbren rear suspension part number TFR250SDF. The first thing we need to do is go ahead and raise the truck in the air so we can lower our suspension. Now you do not have to remove the rear wheels but we are doing it just to make things a little bit easier to see. And what this product does is actually replaces the factory bump stop which is located right here. So our first step involved is to go ahead and unbolt it from the truck and remove it. Now there is a nut on top that we have to remove. Then we can lower it. 0:31 more
