Hey Micah! Pacbrake has actually been around for a long time, more than 60 years. We have had customers ask for these air bags in the past, and we've seen them on vehicles coming in. Until now, Firestone has been the go to since their quality is significantly better than Air Lift. Pacbrake is in-line with that same level of Firestone quality, often at a lower price point, making them a really great option. The biggest differentiator is the one-piece aluminum end caps and 20 support wires for extremely durable air bags.
It looks like you have a 2025 Ford F-350 so the Pacbrake Alpha XD Pro # PB94MV you were looking at will fit. These have a 7,500 lb load leveling capacity and come with jounce bumper so they can run at 0 psi when you're unloaded. Air compressors are available, I recommend the # PB56MV. This is a wireless system that comes with a remote and can also be controlled via the app on your phone. If you have any additional questions feel free to reply below.
