Firestone Air Bag Suspension Kit Recommendation for 2016 Ford F-350
Question:
Good morning. You have been very helpful in the past. I have a 2016 F350 SD 4WD. We pull a 16,000# fifth wheel. I am looking for air bags and a compressor. What is your recommendation? I do not think I need independent control of the air bags so a single path compressor will be fine. I have been looking at the Air Lift 5000 Ultimate, but, I am not sure which part # is the correct one. Is a heavy duty compressor necessary? Thanks,

Expert Reply:
I prefer the Firestone Ride Rite air bags and in your situation it would be ideal since the part # F2597 is a confirmed fit for your 2016 Ford F-350 and unlike Air Ride Firestone verified that this kit will work with fifth wheel hitch rails installed in the bed of your truck.
The Ride-Rite springs can be combined with an air compressor kit # F2097 to monitor and control the air pressure from inside the cab of your truck. This is a heavy duty compressor that will inflate quickly and is also a single path like you said you'd want.
