Recommended Air Bags for 2020 Ford F-250
Question:
Does Firestone or AirLift make any airbag kits yet for a 2020 Ford F-250 that is lifted?

Yes; there are a number of kits available for your 2020 Ford F-250 Super Duty truck with a lift kit. I recommend using the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs with Internal Jounce Bumpers - Rear Axle # AL26KV because the internal jounce bumpers help improve ride comfort, reduce sway, and help with cornering even at lower air pressure. I also really like that Air Lift has a brand exclusive upper and lower roll plate to help protect air springs from damage and ultimately extend the life of the suspension system.
This kit does come with manual inflations valves but I do recommend adding a compressor system like the Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System for Air Helper Springs - Remote - Bluetooth - EZ Mount # AL74000EZ, since it will allow you to independently adjust the pressure from side to side from the comfort of your truck cab.
When it comes to the lift on your truck, you'll need to use a spacer kit like the Air Lift Spring Spacers for LoadLifter Air Helper Springs - 2" # AL52420, the 4" spacer # AL52440 or the 6" spacer # AL52460. Once you have the air bags installed, measure the distance you have left between the lower mounting bracket on the truck and the lower bracket on the air spring itself. This will give you the size of the spacer you're needing (if one is even needed)-some lift kits don't lift the truck the exact height that they state; I've seen some kits advertised as 6" lifts that only lift the vehicle 4".
I've linked some informational videos on these parts to this answer.
