Great question, Kevin.
The Onboard Scale system on your 2024 Ford F-350 Super Duty works by essentially measuring how low the bed is sitting and it gives an estimated weight based off of that. If you added a suspension enhancement then that would prevent your truck from squatting as much and basically render the Onboard Scale as useless since it won't be able to accurately measure the squat.
With all of that being said, if you'll be hauling and/or towing heavier loads, then a suspension enhancement will be more valuable than the Onboard Scales as it would be providing you more stability and add to the longevity of your OEM suspension.
I really like the Firestone Airide Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs # F95FV for your application because it can help out with up to 7,500 lbs so you have a wide range of help you can add, and then you can lower the psi to 5 so that you only feel your OEM suspension.
If you want to get fancy you can add in the Firestone Air Command Heavy Duty Air Compressor # F96VV so you can monitor and adjust the air bags on the fly instead of having to stop and use an air pressure gauge to make sure the bags are at the right pressure for your application.

Great points, but, if I deflate the bags, wouldnt the scale work again since as you say that is oem suspension again??? Thoughts
