I am looking to add air bags to my 2014 F250 CC 4x4 diesel tow vehicle and am looking for feedback on what others have used. We are towing a 2015 Grand Design Reflections which is definitely within the weight limit of the truck but am looking to take the rear sag out. There seems to be many options out there...are some better than others? My truck has the upfitter switches...has anyone used these for powering/controlling these types of systems? I see some with single gauge and some with dual gauges...what is the difference?

The truck is supposed to "SAG" with the max or close to it load.The problem I see is people "think" they need to have the truck sit the same loaded or not. Then when raising the rear loaded the RV will sit nose high and then the rear tires on RV can be overloaded.Not saying you are doing these things. But I ask you does the truck perform well hitched and is it sitting level with the load?If you are lower in the rear then I will bet you are over your rear axle rating.

I would not use air bags. I would get super springs or summo springs

We have exactly the same truck, except 4X2. We are using the Air Lift 5000. It came well recommended by the installer and is what he on his personal vehicle which is an F250 2011 diesel. When I asked about Airlift 5000 ultimate, he talked me out of it. Works well and does exactly what you want.

Really like the airlift 5000 bags on mine. Didn't go with on-board pump, just put valves on rear bumper. Easy to self install.

@Cummins12V98...don't know if agree with your assertion that is the truck is sagging...it is near the max load. I tow a single car trailer with the truck as well with a light car on it and it will sag a little from the stock height. I know that combo is no where near the max for the truck. On another note...did not think about the trailer aspect of it and if raising the truck back up to level with the trailer connected...how that positions the trailer and the trailer axels.
