Thank you for the pictures you sent to help verify the 6401 air bag used in your old # F2400 kit. Unfortunately the compatible kits for your 2020 Ford F-250 Super duty use the 8397 and 6397 air bags so you won't be able to just swap out the brackets to reuse them on the newer truck.
Instead I recommend installing the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Double Convoluted - Rear Axle # F35FV. These 5,000-lb Capacity Ride-Rite air springs will enhance your factory suspension for safety and stability when you are hauling heavy loads and reduce strain on your rear axle.
If you don't already have an onboard compressor system for your air bags then I recommend the Air Command Compressor System w/ Light Duty Compressor - Wireless - Smartphone Enabled - Single Path # F2610. This Bluetooth-enabled compressor system wirelessly connects to your smartphone and turns it into an air spring control interface. The app lets you adjust and monitor your air springs from the comfort of your cab.
I've attached some installation and review videos to offer you some additional information on these products below.
