The best air bag kit for your 2020 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a single rear wheel are the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs because they are the strongest, most durable air bags on the market to provide you with optimal support for your F-250's suspension.

- 2020 Ford F-250 with 2-Wheel Drive: Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - 2WD # F2600

- 2020 Ford F-250 with 4-Wheel Drive: Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - 4WD # F35FV

The construction of the Firestone air bags is what sets them apart; they are made with four layers of reinforced rubber, which is a thicker, more reliable construction than other air bags. This means the Ride-Rite air bags are the best-performing, most dependable air bags available. They will give you a more comfortable, controlled ride and are even compatible with a fifth wheel or gooseneck hitch if you are towing. The accompanying photo is of the Ride-Rite air bag on an F-250 so you can see what it will look like on your truck.

During the installation of these air bags, you are going to want to ensure your air lines are cut perfectly straight, and the best way to do this is by using the Air Hose Cutter # AL10530. Also, I do highly recommend adding a compressor, the Air Command Compressor System - Wireless - Smartphone Enabled # F2610.

This compressor is totally unique because it allows you to adjust the air pressure in the bags from the comfort of your truck's cab with just your smartphone. Other wireless systems require the use of a remote, which can come up missing on occasion. On the other hand, your phone is something that is such a part of your daily life it is always right by your side.

The Firestone # F2600 (2WD) and # F89ZR (4WD) are also a fit for your F-350. No additional modifications would even be needed.
