Air Lift can you help?

Put a 4 link with adjustable coilovers on the rear of my 2002 F-150. I have 275lb. spring rate coils. Truck is cornering about 15 mph faster but the body lean is to much. I want to go auto crossing and that needs some work. Will a set of air bags work? I followed a thread where the same thing was done on a similar lightning truck but he went as far as to put a sway bar on. Thoughts?

It's possible that air bags could benefit you, but it's really hard to say. If I had to give a definite answer, I probably wouldn't recommend an air bag system. Sorry I couldn't be of more help on this. Let me know if you have any further questions and I can always check with my customer service manager and/or my tech support team.

I've found a 59501 kit online. Should I try that?

Yes, that is the correct kit for a 2002 F150 4WD. Here's the product page and you can scroll to the bottom for the installation instructions if you want to check those out: Air Lift 59501 Kit.

I have a 4 link so would the 59103 work? The bottom mount will fit over the existing spring perch on top of the axle.Name:  airlift.jpg

That's kind of why I said I wouldn't recommend our system since we base our kits around a stock suspension. I think it would work, but honestly I'm not sure.
