X3 on the RAS. I pt them on my truck and couldn't be happier. I frequently pull my travel trailer long distances for work and didn't want the maintenance hassle of airbags,the RAS is a plug and play. My TT has a tongue weight of around 800-900 LBS, added with the WDH my truck rides very smooth and no sagging as it did before the RAS.

I don't think I will ever go over the limit.

I am thinking about getting the Firestone 2525 air bags.

Do I really need to do this?
1,145 for a Payload? Hard to believe so little. Love the Limited but with so little weight capacity 4 plus size people and a case of champagne puts it overweight. Guess that's why they call the F150 a half ton.

I think the payload problem is from having 22" wheels.

Default RAS and/or Timbrens Airbags etc... and warranty issues

Does RAS "void the warranty" as Ford is always threatening if you make any modifications to your truck and for that matter do Timbrens? they just replace factory bump stops, seems like that shouldn't be an issue...Anybody know the answer? Thx.
