Hello,

I am getting ready to install an air ride system in my 98 F150. I've read over the instructions and I have to use a battery constant positive as well as a switched positive.I read over the diagrams and for my truck it says

Switched 12V+ Wire color: BLACK/ Pink

Where do I find that? How should I tap into it? Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks,

Jon

What is the best way to tap into it?

I would strip a bit of insulation back off of the ignition wire and wrap your air ride wire snugly around it, then hit it with a soldering iron. There is a good soldering 'how to' on this site. To prevent issues down the road I wouldn't recomend cutting the ignition wire to use a butt splice.
