The purpose of this publication is to assist with the installation and maintenance of the
RideControl air spring kit for the Ford F-150. The air springs used in RideControl kits are
designed and manufactured like a tire. The air springs have layers of rubber and cords
that control the bag’s growth and funnel it in one direction. The bags do not require a
coil spring for control. RideControl kits utilize a sleeve-style air bag that provides up to
2,000 pounds of load-leveling support. Each sleeve is rated at a maximum of 100 PSI.
It is important to read and understand the entire installation guide before beginning
installation or performing maintenance, service or repair. The information here includes a
hardware list, tool list, step-by-step installation information, maintenance tips and safety
information.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
The installation of this kit does not alter the gross vehicle weight rating
(GVWR) or payload of the vehicle. Check the vehicle owner’s manual and
do not exceed the maximum load listed for the vehicle.
Gross vehicle weight rating: The maximum allowable weight of the fully loaded vehicle
(including passengers and cargo). This number — along with other weight limits, as
well as tire, rim size and inflation pressure data — is shown on the vehicle’s Safety
Compliance Certification Label.
Payload: The combined, maximum allowable weight of cargo and passengers that the
truck is designed to carry. Payload is GVWR minus the base curb weight.
