Bigfoot AKQ-F5501 Automatic Leveling System Ford F-550 Chassis

Why Choose the Bigfoot AKQ-F5501?

The Bigfoot AKQ-F5501 is engineered specifically for Ford F-550 chassis-based RVs and specialty vehicles, delivering powerful automatic leveling with the reliability of Quadra Manufacturing's proven quad pump design. Unlike traditional single central pump systems that work one pump continuously, this system distributes the hydraulic workload across four individual marine-grade power units—one at each corner. Each pump operates only 25% of the time compared to central systems, resulting in nearly four times the pump life expectancy and dramatically reduced maintenance over the life of your vehicle.

Built in White Pigeon, Michigan with 100% American-made components, this complete leveling kit includes chassis-specific mounting brackets designed to integrate seamlessly with the Ford F-550's frame. The front installation uses two QEI-14 cylinders with 3" x 7" mounting brackets, while the rear features two QEI-16 cylinders with inside mounting brackets equipped with a cross-member for added structural support. Every cylinder is machined in-house at Quadra's facility, hand-assembled, and 100% leak tested before shipment—all backed by a lifetime warranty.
