I spoke with my technical contact at Firestone and he advised me that, tentatively, the correct suspension kit that will fit your 2011 F-350 Dually Cab and Chassis is the Firestone Ride-Rite Spring # F2176. The Firestone Spring # F2404 will not fit your F-350 truck - it only fits F-550 trucks.

The two issues that determine if # F2176 will fit are: first, you need to have 7-1/2 inches between the tire and the frame of your truck, and secondly, this set mounts on the outside frame of the truck so if your goosemount hitch also occupies that same area, this set will not work.

In the picture I have attached from the installation directions, you can see where the the Firestone # F2176 kit will attach, so if your gooseneck attaches in the same area, the kit will not work. I also noted where you need to measure to verify you have 7-1/2 inches.

I have attached a link giving you all suspension enhancement options we carry for your truck.
