I have a 2001 F150 Supercrew and would like to get some rear air shocks to level the truck. Does anyone have any experience with this? I have seen kits for early model F150s but not for the late model ones. I have heard of Gabriel air shock kits but they do not list an application for the 2001 F150. Does anyone have any other suggestions or know of any other air shocks or air shock kits.

I have found air bag kits that bolt onto the leaf spring. I would image that that is a better place to "jack up" the truck since the shock mounts are limited in the force they can handle as opposed to the leaf springs.

Thanks

 

Firestone Sport-Rite model 2320. You just need 6" of clearance between frame and wheel.

If you use either method it will siffen the ride as well as raise, if that is any concern.
Better to get the Trim height up with spring location/modification than using these other measures that make the ride harsher.

 

I have to disagree with you a little, Bluegrass. I put the Sport-Rite air bags on my '01 to prevent sag when towing & loaded with all my camping crap. I found that if I put in just enough air to level it, there was no additional harshness to the ride. In fact, it felt much more sure-footed. My '01 was the least truck-like ride of any pickup I've driven. In my '05 I might have concerns about harshness - it rides stiffer than my '01 by a considerable margin.
