Question:
I am looking to put suspension airbags on my pickup but I have a flatbed on the truck so I was wondering if there is any products that may work with the flatbed

Hey Richard, thanks for reaching out!
I reached out to my contact at Firestone to verify about the flatbed design and they got back with me and said the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2400 will fit your 2005 Ford F-250 as long as the jounce springs haven't been removed from your truck.
I'm attaching an installation video of this kit on a 2005 F-350 for your reference - please let me know if you have any other questions!
