2011 F-350 Firestone Ride Rite System Recommendation for a Diesel 4 Wheel Drive Model
Question:
I have a 2011 Ford F-350 Lariat Diesel Dually Crew Cab FX4 4x4 Long Bed with the optional Ford under bed 5th wheel/gooseneck hitch system. I want to put the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Suspension system on my truck but dont know which one to order. The Ford under the bed hitch system seems to be the problem, along with being a Diesel. I tow a 16,000# 5th wheel and when the trailer is on, the truck sags some in the rear. Looking to return to level height when trailer is attached. Thanks for your help.

Expert Reply:
The Firestone Ride Rite kit part # F2597 has been confirmed as a fit for your 4 wheel drive, diesel 2011 Ford F-350 and Firestone also lists this kit as being compatible with fifth wheel rail/gooseneck hitches so it SHOULD work for you.
What you can do is check out the install video and instructions that I attached to compare to your truck to see if the two would interfere.
