Question:
I am interested in the Air Lift Loadlifter 5000 Ultimate Part Number: AL88399. However, I have a PullRite SuperGlide 5th wheel hitch and it appears the Loadlifter may not be compatible with all hitches. Can someone help me determine if the LoadLifter will work for me?

Hey Eric! The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs item # AL88399 is compatible with in-bed hitches. So long as your Pullrite SuperGlide installs on standard 5th wheel rails or a gooseneck ball you'll be good to go. This kit is confirmed to fit the 2017 Ford F-250.
I also recommend adding the Firestone Air Command item # F2610 to your truck. This onboard compressor will allow you to adjust the PSI in your air bags from your phone.
If you have any additional questions feel free to throw them into the comment box below. I linked an installation video so you can see how to get these air bags set up.
