Front and Rear Air Bags for 2004 Ford F-350 With 4" Lift and Gooseneck Hitch

Question

Question:

I have a 2004 F350 single cab long bed 4x4, I have a 4 inch lift on the truck currently. I was interested in installing Firestone air bags on the front and rear axles of the truck as well as a goosneck hitch. I was hoping you guys had a solution to adapt their kits to a lifted truck. Also I was looking for recommendations for a trailer braking system to round out the towing set up. Thank you.

For front and rear air bags that are compatible with your 4" lift and the B&W # BWGNRK1108 I definitely recommend going with Firestone. They are the most reliable and have the best construction by far. You will need the following:

-Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Rear # F2550 w/ Lift Spacers for Vehicles w/ 4" Lift # F2371

-Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Front # F2223 w/ Lift Spacers for Vehicles w/ 4" Lift # F2370

Make sure you pay attention to the spacers during installation since they are different for front and back because of the way the different air bags mount.

I believe by trailer braking system you meant a brake controller. If that is the case, I recommend the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty # RED24FR. This is an incredibly reliable and easy to use brake controller that takes up no additional space in the cab of your truck. The main unit mounts behind the dash so only the control knob is visible. The knob controls the brake output and also acts as the manual override. You will also need # RED87FR for a plug and play installation.
