Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for a 2012 Ford F-350 with Reese Underbed 5th Wheel Kit

Question:

I have 2012 F350 Ford8 foot bed. Ive installed your Reese Rail kits RP30126 under the bed Reese 5 wheel kit Now Im looking at the Air Lift AL57396-will this part have any inference with the holes on the side rail of the rail kits?

The brackets that attach to the frame on the Reese installation kit # RP30126 attach to the outside of the frame rails on the truck. Any suspension kit that installs on the outside of the frame rails as well cannot be used. On Air Lift kit, # AL57396, if you look at the instructions I have linked, you will see that the brackets install on the inside of the frame rails.

However, you must look closely at the instructions and compare them to the brackets on your truck to determine if there is any chance of interference. I recommend a system that installs on the bottoms of the frame rails like # TFR350SDF which would be the least likely to interfere. I have linked instructions for this kit as well.
