Anyone using rear air bags on their Superduty? Which type/brand? Pro and Cons?

I've purchased and installed many sets of Firestone Ride-Rite helper air-springs with no problems. Good fit, good quality.

No experience with other makers.

Same as Cody, but I am using the ones for a Gooseneck hitch. I would recommend going with these as there is no drilling or goofy spacers to deal with on the leaf/ overload springs.

Those be it. :D

I have never purchased the ones with the clearance for a gooseneck hitch as I have always just integrated the frame mount into the gooseneck hitch bracketry.

I like the "no drilling or goofy spacers" part :)

As you may have guessed already I have a 28 ft 5th wheel(slider hitch) I sometimes actually get to use ;)
