My 2013 F350 DRW ran Air Lift 5000 with on-board compressor, also STable Loads.
I love the Air Lift set up with the remote control and on board pump and I "tune" the ride as I go sometimes, adding air for twisty roads, letting it out for some bumpy roads etc. 40k miles no problems.
I took the Stable Loads off. This may be just my problem but I hated crawling under the truck to disengage them when the camper was off the truck. It rode way too hard if I left them engaged and it was too much of a pain with cranky knees to get down there and disengage them. By the way they are for sale cheap. send me a note and we'll work out a deal.

I haven't installed them yet but I am hoping that with the spacer package I can set it up so that when I am empty they are not engaged at all and when I have the camper on with the Air Lifts at 55psi or so they will just be ready to engage. If I can get it right there will be no more crawling under the truck to change the setup when empty vs loaded.
