Hello Merle, thanks for reaching out. So we do have an air bag kit that will fit your2024 Ford F250 with the onboard scales, and for that I recommend the Firestone Ride Rite # F35FV.

Keep in mind though that the onboard scale basically works by measuring how much the truck is squatting, and gives you a weight based on that. The air bags will prevent the rear from sagging, so the scale reading would not be accurate. You can lower the air pressure in the bags to a minimum of 5 PSI which would help the scale to be more accurate if you need a reading.

I also recommend adding an onboard compressor so you can monitor and fill the bags on the go. For that I recommend the following:

- Firestone Air Command Standard Duty Air Compressor - Remote and Smartphone App - Single Path # F29VV

Take a look at the install videos I linked for you below.

Hey Merle, did you get a chance to try out the Firestone Ride Rite air bag kit on your F250? I'm curious to know how it worked with your onboard scales. Your feedback could really help others with similar setups!

Jesse, I have a Ford F350 with onboard scales, etc. Also have up fitter switches. New camper is a fifth wheel - 2000 lb tongue weight / 14000 GVWR. I plan to get the Firestone Ride Rites (F35FV) and the Air Command compressor (F29VV). 1) Given my application - is this the right combination of air bags and compressor? 2) Can the compressor be linked up and powered via my up fitter switches, or does it tie in to the electrical system differently?

@MichaelG Hey Michael, great setup you’re planning, that’s an excellent combo for your F350 and fifth wheel. The Firestone Ride-Rite # F35FV and Air Command compressor # F29WV will work perfectly together for your load and towing capacity, so you’re right on track there. As for wiring, you can power the compressor through one of your upfitter switches as long as the switch is rated for the current draw of the compressor.
