We can help you with a rear-axle air bag kit for your 2008 Ford F-350 King Ranch dually.

All kits for your truck are shown on the linked page and these include products from Firestone and AirLift. I do recommend a Firestone kit as they actually manufacture their air springs and because they are the leaders in Ford applications.

The kit I suggest is part # F2550. This fits both 2WD and 4WD trucks, is compatible with an in-bed 5th wheel or gooseneck hitch and is a no-drill installation. The written instructions and an install video on a 2008 Ford are linked for your reference.

To get the most out of the air bags I suggest also installing a compressor kit # F2158. The air bag kit by itself will require you to manually air up the bags at a service station, but installing a compressor means you can tweak the air pressure as you drive to find the sweet spot for best handling. The compressor makes using the air springs a whole lot nicer. An install video for this is included for you too.
