    Default Is there a 2 up spring for the F3L

    Is there an occasional 2 up replacement rear OEM spring, or shock for a 2018 F3L? If so, what is the part number?

    Not sure about the spring.. but dumb question... do you check the air bag regularly? The air bag in my wife's F3T was down to 10lbs and it supposed to have a lot more than that... I do know that BRP has a kit to add the automatic air compressor so you don't have to worry about checking or filling it other than occasionally to make sure it doesn't have any tears or holes. Filling the air bag to the recommended inflation will probably help a lot. If you already do that... it looks like Lamont has some aftermarket rear spring/shock for the F3T.

    The F3L have self adjusting systems on them. There is no manual air

    Long day.. I missed the L... had T on the brain. So then either a leaky bag or a spring/shock from Lamonster sounds like the best bet.

    I had the same issue and found that there was a leak at the Schrader valve .... fixed it under warranty ..... good luck .... Mike

    If is leaking you are still under the original warranty are you not?

    Soapy water in a spray bottle will find the leak.

    Lamonster sells Elka shocks for the rear of the F3L's. I've got the front's installed on my 18 F3L and it's night and day handling....have the rear, haven't installed it yet though.

    The pre 2017 F3L do not have self adjusting airbags, only manual. I believe it can be retro fitted but I haven't bothered with my 2016.
