Hey guys,
I have a FX2 2008, F150, 5.4 and I have loaded a few concrete bags on my truck. I've read that I can put up to ~1600LBS, now I had ~1200lbs on it and my bed was pretty much low.

I've seen the HELPER SPRINGS by
Air Bags - Air Lift
Air Bags - Firestone
Air Bags - Hellwig

I assume that the Hellwig's are the best but what are you suggesting?
thx

 

I'll suggest the Air bags. I have the Firestone Ride Rite's on my 08 FX4 with levelling kit and they are great! They will take up to 100psi, and at 100psi empty, I get about 4" lift out of the rear. The nice part is you can air them up or down depending on your load or lift preferences. If you really want to get jiggy, you can get an onboard compressor with an in cab pressure gauge and buttons to inflate/deflate from the drivers seat. I'm a poor boy so I just ran the air lines to the back and drilled 2 holes in the plastic next to the license plate to mount the schrader valves. Fill em up when loaded to keep it sitting pretty and deflate when unloaded so the ride quality is not comprimised. Cost about $250ish, I got mine from Summit Racing. Add another $250ish for the onboard compressor with in cab controller.
