For your 2017 Ford F-350, I recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs item # F95FV. These air bags have a 5,000 lbs load leveling capacity that will keep the rear end of your F-350 from sagging when you are towing your 5th wheel trailer. All mounting brackets and hardware are included for installation. This system is compatible with in bed hitches and only fits the 4WD models.
I really like the Firestone airbags because they use a crimp rolled design which is much more durable than the band clamp used with Air Lift kits.
I recommend adding the Air Command Compressor System w/ Light Duty Compressor item # F2610. This onboard compressor will allow you to adjust the PSI in your air bags from the comfort of your cab. The wireless system connects directly to your smartphone for operation. It works with both Android and Apple phones.
I have linked a couple of installation videos below.
