Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for 1996 Ford F-250

Question

Question:

I have a 1996 Ford F250 extended cab 4X4 that has a BW fifth wheel hitch mouted in it. I want to put a air bag system on it to help level it out. Do you have a system that will work? It doesnt look like the airlift systems will work but I cant tell about the firestone ones. Thank you

For suspension ehnancement that is confirmed as a fit for your 1996 Ford F-250 we have the part # TFR250SDE which will work with the gooseneck hitch. The air bag systems won't work with the rails of the hitch.

I attached an install video for you to check out as well.
