Best Air Bag Kit for 2018 Ford F-250 Towing Bumper Pull Trailer with Compressor
Question:
I will be conventionally towing an 11k lb travel trailer with Equalizer WD/Sway hitch and would like some airbag recommendations. I know nothing about these systems. I would like to reduce or eliminate porpoising if possible. Thank you.

Air bags will help with the issues you described. Firestone makes the best air bag kits for trucks like your 2018 Ford F-250 4WD so I recommend their part # F35FV. Their bags have a higher ply rating and have a better design in how they attach the metal plates on top and bottom. I attached an install video for this on a similar Ford truck as well. The trick to using a kit like this with a weight distribution system is to inflate the bags first before setting up the WD system.
For a compressor kit then the heavy duty part # F96VV will work great to make inflating the bags and maintaining them easier. The compressor will inflate faster than standard compressors and the gauge inside the vehicle will allow you to monitor and inflate them from inside the vehicle.
