Recommended Airbag Kit and 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2017 Ford F-350
Question:
I have a new 2017 FORD F350 Dually 4x4 4WD. What Firestone Ride Rite Suspension Kit will I need for 4800 lb to 5000 lb? I'm also needing a new 5th wheel hitch for the new F350 w/factory installed anchor system. What do you suggest for the hitch I'll need to connect to the Ford anchor system?

Expert Reply:
For an airbag kit that will work with an in-bed hitch on your 2017 Ford F-350, I recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F2600 as this kit is specifically designed to be used with trucks that have an in-bed hitch. The airbags have a 5000 lb max load leveling capacity. In order to operate the airbags from inside the truck, I recommend using the Firestone Air Command I part # F2097.
For a 5th wheel hitch that will fit the factory rail system on your truck, I recommend using the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # BWRVK3370 for short beds or the B&W Companion OEM 5th-Wheel Hitch part # BWRVK3300 for long beds. B&W hitches are one of the best on the market and very well reviewed.
I have included a review video of both hitches and the airbag kit for you as well.
