Air Bag for F-350

[Art-n-Marge]

If you plan to do the work yourself then the best thing to do is call Air Lift and Firestone and describe your detailed configuration and each should tell you if they have a solution. The truck and its hitch will make a difference.

For example, my '06 SRW 4x4 long bed F-250 with a Valley/Husky fiver hitch could NOT use an AirLift 7 years ago because of the way the underside brackets for the Valley/Husky rails attached under the truck bed. The AirLift air bags brackets could NOT be used, but the Firestone used different hardware and therefore they worked. Things may have changed since then, I'm just sayin'.

I originally had a Camping World appointment for the Air Lift system, but the CW tech notified me of the incompatibility. They were very nice to direct me to a Firestone distributor nearby and they installed the Firestones I have today. This same distributor also installed an onboard compressor and the AirLift digital controls for inflating the Firestone airbags. I bring this up because I am hopeful you find the same level of cooperation with whomever you deal with.

Maybe an MOCer with your same configuration ('08 SRW F350 with a B&W hitch) can tell you if either air bag vendor will work in your case. The bed length and drive train (4x2, 4x4) may matter, too. The Firestone solution was a little more expensive than the Air Lift solution. Your experience may vary.
