Congrats on your new 5th wheel trailer, and the 7,500 lb air bags are definitely appropriate for something that big. Just keep in mind the 7,500 lb air bags only fit the 4-wheel drive version of your 2023 Ford F-350 single wheel. So assuming you have the 4-wheel drive, the correct part number is the following:

- Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Ultimate Air Helper Springs # AL89DQ

The 7,500 lb air bags will ensure you have the best overall support for your F-350 as you tow your 45 foot 5th wheel, helping keep your truck level and optimizing how your truck handles as you are towing.

Also, I do highly recommend considering adding a compressor to make both monitoring and maintaining the air bags much easier. The best option to do so is a wireless compressor, the Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System for Air Helper Springs # AL74000EZ.

Finally, to avoid any leaks when installing the air bags you'll want to use Air Hose Cutter # AL10530.
