Air bags and lift kits

Hi, My truck is a F350 Superduty with a 4.5" lift and 325/65R/18. I'm pulling a 34ft. Elite horse trailer with LQ, and would like to level the rear of the truck. Does anyone make an airbag that fits lifted trucks?

Re: Air bags and lift kits

Any airbag would work just build a "lift kit" for your bags.

Re: Air bags and lift kits

Just installed a set of Firestone's today. A buddy of mine who owed me a favor down at Les Schwab did it actually. My truck is lifted 4" (4" in front and 2" in rear I believe. He was going to put in a 2" spacer but it ended up not even needing it. There are spacing kits out there though should you need one.

Re: Air bags and lift kits

skyjacker has a up to 12 in lift for newer fords that is air will give stock to 12 in lift and can be rated way above your tires 4500 lbs per airbag and higher (i think thats base model) and it will give youa more stable reilable 4 link setup no welding some cutting and a few bolt holes to drill but not enough to weaken the frame its great check them out
