I have a 2017 Ford F-250 XLT 4x4 and I was wondering if part number TLA7310S takes the place of a airbag system. And also what is the difference between this part number and the other torklift system.

I wouldn't say that the TorkLift StableLoad Suspension Upgrade w Quick-Disconnect # TLA7310S takes the place of an airbag system and they can definitely be used together with a system like the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F35FV. This StableLoad kit simply engages your overload springs sooner, which will help reduce sway.

Some differences between these solutions are that airbags are easily adjustable and can adjust side to side to support off center loads. The StableLoads system will support heavy loads but require removing plates which takes longer to adjust support. On the plus side they require no air supply to adjust.

If you're referring to TorkLift StableLoad Rear Suspension Upgrade with Quick-Disconnects # TLA7310 is the same no drill kit in black finish while the other # TLA7310S come in silver. The TorkLift StableLoad Rear Suspension Upgrade # TLA7311 is for applications where drilling is required which depends on what hitch you have.

Included are some helpful vidoe resources as well.
