Effective Load Leveling Upgrade That Improves Towing Stability

This rear air bag suspension kit was installed on a 2000 to 2006 Ford Excursion to help with towing and rear sag, and it made a noticeable difference. Once installed and properly inflated, the rear of the vehicle sat level even under heavy load. Steering felt more controlled, and overall ride stability improved, especially when towing or hauling.

The air bags themselves feel durable and well constructed. The rubber material is thick and sturdy, and the fittings sealed properly without air leaks. The kit matched up well with the factory mounting points, making it a suitable replacement for Firestone 2251 Ride Rite airbags. After installation, the system handled weight smoothly without harshness.

This setup supports up to 5000 lbs of load leveling capacity, which is more than enough for typical towing needs. Adjusting air pressure allowed for fine tuning based on load, helping maintain proper ride height and reducing strain on the suspension. It also helped improve ride comfort by reducing rear end bounce.

Overall, this suspension kit is a solid choice for Excursion owners who tow regularly or carry heavy loads. It provides dependable support, good build quality, and improved vehicle control. It is a practical upgrade that enhances both performance and confidence when towing.
