Firestone Air Bag Suspension Kit Recommendation for 2018 Ford F350 4X4 DRW with Factory Hitch Prep

Question

Question:

The airlifted site says: Does not fit 2018 dual rear wheel DRW models. Will fit ALL models without a fifth-wheel hitch and will also fit most side mount fifth wheel hitch applications. I have posed the question to Airlifter twice and the responses are differing. One says no, one says they have just added spring 2018 a special part to fit the rear axle. Can you confirm if it will in fact fit my truck? Does having the factory puck system OEM fifth wheel prep package affect the fit?

I have a better solution for you that we can guarantee will work. The Firestone air bags are considered by many to be superior to the Air Lift bags and we know for sure that the Firestone kit part # F2600 does fit the dual rear wheel 2018 Ford F-350 models with the factory in-bed hitch. So with this part number you'll get a better kit that is a confirmed fit without any guesswork.
