Do I need air bags on my 2016 F350?

[NorthernNeck_VA]

I bought a 2016 F350 over the weekend to replace my 05 F350. On my 05 I installed air bags. I am wondering if I will need to install them on the 2016. I am pulling a 41 foot Landmark San Antiono.

Thoughts??

Thanks.

My Voltage has 3500# on the pin and I haven't found the need for bags.

If you needed them on your 05 you will need them on your 16. Same rear suspension. 2017 is when they stepped up.

I have the same truck with about 3K pin weight from my fiver. Good roads all OK. Bad roads, potholes and hard bridge expansion joints not so good. Thinking seriously about adding some sort of rear suspension assist.

RAW is all important. If you need air bags, its a good chance your overloaded on your rear axle.

I would think that you are very borderline if needing them at all. Personally, I like my load to just lightly engage my overload springs. My camper is 4,000 pounds and if I put air in my air bags, it is only 10 - 15 psi.

hook up and see how level the truck stands. let that be your answer

I doubt you'll need air bags. What is the pin weight of your trailer.
