Can Firestone Airbags Be Used with an AirLift Compressor On a 2016 Ford F-350

Question:

Can you use Firestone air bags with an Air Lift compressor and Wireless remote and will the BandW turn over ball system be in the way of the bolt in brackets of the air bags? Which would be better 5000 or 7500. We have a 40 ft toyhauler 5th wheel.

Yes, you can use a Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Spring System with a Air Lift Wireless Compressor System on your 2016 Ford F-350. This is actually the best way to go about adding a set of airbags and compressor. The Firestone airbags have the best design because of their crimp rolled construction (vs band clamp) and Air Lift has the most reliable air compressor because of who makes them, Viair.

I recommend part # F2597 for the airbags which have a 5,000 lb capacity and part # AL74000 for the compressor which is wireless. There really aren't many cases in which you would need the 7,500 lb capacity so I rarely recommend this as it is just extra money. The part # F2597 will work just fine with your B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Trailer Hitch.
