According to our friends at Air Lift, the only difference between the two parts you mentioned, # AL59501 and AL59542 is that the # AL59542 uses an offset mounting bracket that will allow a fifth wheel hitch to be installed in the truck.

The bracket is the only difference between the two parts. If you do not currently have a fifth wheel hitch installed, you can use either part.

Both kits are manually inflated, but there are upgrade kits available that include on-board compressors like the Air Lift Load Controller II Compressor System, part # AL25592.

As you're completing the install, using a tubing cutter like part # AL10530 is highly recommended. A cutter will ensure that the tubing is absolutely square where it enters the fittings, which is imperative to prevent leaks.

I will link you to the install details for both kits.

Hello Jeff, Sounds like you’ve got a big camper (about 4,000 lbs) on your 2024 F-350 dually, and when it’s loaded, the truck feels bouncy and sways a bit. That’s pretty common with heavy campers, especially if the suspension is still stock.…
