Auto flex Suspension!!!!!
Has anyone on here ever tried these out before? They don't make them for the EX but they do for the F250 97 to 06. At a price tag at $3,440 OUCH!! check the website and the video on the main page.

I'm guessing with 0 replies that would be a no. Just curious, is there some major design difference between this setup vs. just adding say some air bag springs from Air Lift or Firestone bags? Those are WAY less expensive.

yeah supposably they hold more weight and they take away your need of leaf springs from my understanding.

looks like a knock-off of the Kelderman suspension setups
I personally would go with a tried and true setup that Ford already uses with their HD platforms. And a good WD hitch.
Airbags are great tools, but the more you get funky with them, the more they are likely to fail in some way. A simple airbag helper for the rear axle is a great tool for leveling your truck and carrying more weight. This system introduces a lot of gizmos that take the simplicity away. I can only imagine the carnage the electricals would suffer from this companies system after 1 winter up North

This system will ride much better than any leafspring system out there. and it has adjustable ride height without making it ride harsh when compared to add-on airbags! they have basically the same system on the big rigs and they seem to be doing OK. other than the price tag, I like it. and yes it looks very similar to the Kelderman that has been around for a long time.
