Airbag, which ones?

[RGM]

With my camper on my 2018 F350 CC really squats. I want to put on some airbags and it seems there are two major choices the firestone airbags and the LoadLifter 5000. For some reason the LoadLifter 7500XL won't work with diesels. Anyone have experience with either system. Pros and cons of each?

Have the firestone in my 16 f350 and no issues, run 8psi empty and typically 45 psi loaded right up.

I run Fire stone on all my trucks . Have had zero problems . truck is more stable and roles less on the curves .

Firestone bags and air-lift wireless compressor. Works great.

Firestone is the best quality and best fitment, but also the most expensive... The airride are almost as good, maybe a little "rougher around the edges", and more economical. The pac-brake airbags are the least expensive, but quality nothing like the other two... I personally like the firestones, and so many options available for them

Not to hijack the thread,
But doesn't anyone one use overloader spring anymore, or is the air bag system just that much better?

You mean the ones on the 3500 trucks standard? They can only do so much,.. I have always added airbags to help that much more,.. always ran firestones.

Aftermarket overloaders, that can be used on 1500, 2500, 3500, 5500...… If I was to go air bag route, everything I have read about Firestone, seems to be the kittens poop chute.

Overloader springs give it a permanent stiffer ride which isn't ideal when unloaded. You have the option with airbags to run them aired down to keep the factory ride.

This makes sense, and why I kind of figured everyone is going to air bags.
Thanks
