I have a solution for you, but there is not an AirLift kit available for your 2008 Ford F-350 with dual rear wheels and a B&W Turnoverball gooseneck hitch with Companion 5th wheel hitch. However, there is a Firestone kit available with the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Double Convoluted - Rear Axle # F2550, which will give you a similar air bag kit to an AirLift system.

If you'd like to add an on-board compressor system to allow you to easily fill and deflate the air bags to adjust for your payload or trailer I recommend using the Firestone Air Command II - Analog Gauge w/ Heavy Duty Compressor - Dual Function - 150 psi # F2219. This system uses analog gauges and switches installed in your truck cab to allow you to keep your bags inflated properly with a durable, heavy duty compressor.

I've linked some review and installation videos of these parts for you to have a look at.
