Buddy and I installed the Reese/Ford 5th wheel prep kit and a set of Firestone RideRite air bags #2535 on the TV on Saturday. the entire process took the two of us a total of 3 hours and 45 minutes from back in to drive out. Not bad for a broke down old man and a youngster.
Both kits went in clean with the only real trouble being breaking the p-clip that Ford uses to attach the DEF tank bracket to the frame. That wasn't a big deal and it had to be removed anyway in order to install the upper bracket for the air bag on the driver's side.
Big improvement in ride quality with the air bags, even empty and noticeable instantly.
Next step.... got to find the cash for the new 5'er
but now I'm ready to tow it...
