Firestone Ride-Rite Extreme Duty Rear Air Helper Springs Installation - 2024 Ford F-250 Super Duty

Well neighbors, it's Brad here at etrailer. And today we're taking a look and installing the Firestone Airride Red Label extreme duty rear air helper springs on a 2024 Ford F-250. This is what our airbags look like when they're installed and it's really nice, they use a lot of brackets here that all bolt together, but there's no drilling required in all of this installation. So really it's not too terribly hard to do. The bags themself are awesome construction. They're double convoluted. more

Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Rear Air Helper Springs Installation - 2024 Ford F-250 Super Duty

Hey everyone, Ryan here at etrailer. Today on our 2024 Ford F250 Super Duty, we're gonna be showing you how to install the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs for the rear axle. Before we do that though, let's take a minute. We'll check these out and make sure they're gonna be the right setup for you. So even though these trucks now are super heavy duty, they can handle a ton of weight, people still find themselves needing a little bit of extra support just to help make the ride a little bit better and have some adjustability and things like that. Because when you get to pulling big old trailers around these campers and fifth wheels, goosenecks, so on and so forth, having a suspension enhancement can really go a long way. more

Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Ultimate Air Helper Springs Installation - 2022 Ford F-250 Super Duty

Hey guys, it's Jake here with etrailer. Today we have a 2022 Ford F-250 and we're gonna be taking a look at and I'm gonna show you how to install the Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs. Adding Air Helper Springs to the back end of your F-250 is gonna do a couple different things. First and foremost, it's going to add extra support in the rear end of your truck, whenever you're hauling a heavy load in the bed or if you have a trailer behind it that's causing the rear end of your truck to sag, it's going to help add support back to it to bring the truck back up to a level position. Now when using these, you still want to have a little bit of sag from factory ride height because your truck will have rake from the factory that is designed to counteract some of that weight. You will want a little bit of sag, but not, you don't want the back of your truck to be crushed by the weight that you're hauling. more

Hey guys, it's Jake here with etrailer. Today we have a 2022 Ford F-250 and we're gonna be taking a look at and I'm gonna show you how to install the Firestone Red Label Air Helper Springs. Air helper springs are going to be airbags that install between the bottom of your frame and the top of your axle. And they're designed to help to carry the rear end of your truck when you've got a heavy load either on the hitch or in the bed of your truck. The nicest part about airbags is that the air pressure is going to be adjustable. So you can adjust the stiffness where there's a lot of other components out there that you can use as rear-end enhancement, suspension enhancement that are not going to be adjustable. more

Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Plus Rear Axle Air Springs Installation - 2017 Ford F-250 Super Du

Hello, neighbors, it's Brad here at etrailer, and today we're taking a look and installing the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Plus Rear Airbags on a 2017 Ford F-250 Super Duty. Adding airbags to the back of your truck is really nice, because when you have a load that's really heavy or if you have a fifth-wheel or gooseneck that you pull, that truck is gonna wanna sag, and there are some downsides with the sagging. First off, you have a lot of stress that's put on the rear suspension and, honestly, the suspension really can't do a whole lot when it's already maxed out against the jounce bumpers. It also tilts the front of the vehicle up, so you're gonna have less braking, less steering feel. If you've ever had a truck loaded up, you kind of noticed that it gets real light in the steering wheel, and that's not exactly comforting when you're pulling a big load or have a heavy load in the bed. Now, these ones are rated at a 5,000 pound capacity and that's not to say that you're adding 5,000 pounds to what you can tow, but it can support up to that weight. more

Hey everybody, how's it going Today, we're gonna be going over and showing you how to install the Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 air helper springs here on a 2019 Ford F250. So adding air helper springs here to your F250 is gonna be an excellent option if you guys find yourself to do a lot of heavy-duty towing or hauling. So essentially, what our airbags are gonna do is they're gonna be reducing the amount of sag and squat we have at the rear here while we're towing or hauling. Now the reason that's important is that sag/squat not only looks a little bit funky, it's gonna have drastic effects on our vehicle. It could be something as simple as wearing down your factory suspension much sooner or giving you the improper headlight aim shining other motorists in the eyes or not giving us the best view of the road. Those are just some minor things. more

With the extra suspension components installed, we loaded up a big old water tank, it's about 1500 pounds, and we're gonna take it up on our test courses to see how it does. So, even after that first bump I could definitely feel my truck just being more responsive. It's a little bit tighter, that's why it doesn't just go down and comes back up and kinda rocks. I could definitely feel it. And I have many other loads that are over a lot heavier than this, so this is on the medium setting, so we can either tighten it up, loosen it up. more

Speaker 1: Today on our 2017 Ford F-250 Super Duty, we're gonna be installing TorkLift's StableLoad Rear Suspension Upgrade, part number TLA7311.These suspension stabilizers work in conjunction with your existing overload springs. Your overload spring is normally designed to provide extra carrying capacity once your vehicle has been loaded up, and your spring comes in contact with that overload spring.We're not gonna get that benefit immediately, so to help reduce that backend sag, we're gonna get that body roll and breaking performance back that we we're losing before because of our suspension alignment change.Having your overloads ring engaged all the time will help stiffen up your rear suspension. This'll help improve handling, because you won't have as much body roll. It'll also help your braking performance, because you're gonna have a more stable rear end, so you're not gonna have so much sag in the back. So when you stop, and you have a heavy load, you're gonna be more in line, and the weight can be properly transferred onto your front tires to have a good stop. 'Cause most of your stopping's done by your front brakes.When going over bumps and potholes, you won't feel those as much, and you won't get so much oscillation between the front and back. more

Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Rear Air Helper Springs Installation - 2017 Ford F-250 Super Duty

Speaker 1: Today on our 2017 Ford F250 Super Duty, we're going to be installing Airlift's Lift Loader 5,000 air helper springs, part number AL57399. WE've now got our vehicle loaded up with an excessive amount of weight, dropping down our suspension. We're measuring now about 41-1/4 inches. So we're down almost 3-3/4 inches from our factory ride height. And when we come to the front and recheck our measurements, our front is raised up to 42 inches from the factory ride height of 41-1/2.So now that our vehicle's loaded down, and it's changed our ride height, what this means to you is that you're going to have reduced braking power because the weight's not going to transfer to the front as it did in its factory ride height. You're going to have reduced handling performance, because your suspension angles are now different than what they were, due to the ride height change. more
