Question:

Hello, I woukd like to install both rear sumo springs and airbags on an f350/f450 DRW. Do you have airbag kits that do not mount where rear snubbed is? I would put the sumo springs where rear snubber is so I need a airbag kit either outboard of leafs? Application is 6000 lb truck camper and 1000 lb tongue weight. I will also add swaysupports to leafs and possibly a bolt on leaf helper.

I have a solution for you, but you're not going to be able to use all of the different suspension enhancements together on your 2020 Ford F-350 with a dual rear wheel because they do all use the same mounting points on the frame. However, the Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle # AL86KV can give you up to 7500-lbs of support for your truck camper and towed trailer in a single system. The LoadLifter 7500 XL # AL86KV can be deflated when you're not towing so that your unloaded ride quality won't be affected.

You could use the AirLift system with the TorkLift StableLoad Rear Suspension Upgrade w Quick-Disconnects - Lower Overload Springs - Universal # TLA7311 and not have any compatibility issues and it would provide a 2nd layer of sway control on the truck.

You can fill the air bags with the manual fill valves that are installed on the back of the truck during installation or you can get an on-board compressor system that will allow you to inflate the bags on the fly as needed. For that I recommend the Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System for Air Helper Springs - Remote - Bluetooth - EZ Mount # AL74000EZ, which is a wireless compressor system that's a great choice if you don't want to have to stop for air during travel.

I've linked some review videos of these parts for you to check out.
