How do you know? maybe you need them and don`t realize it! And no band aides needed......I didn`t skin one knuckle!

My recommendation is to go with the Air Lift. I warrantied out my 10 year old bags due to slight leakage. No questions asked just had to pay shipping, approx $15. Not to say other companies are bad. But air lift took care of the problem.

The F250 has had Firestone bags in it for over 10 years.
The F350 has had Air lift bags with compressor in it for close to 10 years.

Both have been good and bought the Air lift system on the dually because the price was quite a bit lower than the Firestones.

With taller overload pads, you may not need bags. StableLoads allowed me to carry a 4000 lb truck camper and the bags were only used when I towed behind this heavy load.

3. Firestone bags bolt right up to the Fords with no welding or drilling, but some of their hardware is soft and should be replaced with Grade 5 of better. Recently a Forum member had issues getting warranty replacement Firestone bags.
4. No experience with the AirLift, but I like the idea of internal jounce.

Have run firestone airbags on a previous truck, and really liked the ability to level up the truck a bit, pretty much the same situation with the present truck. Had no problems with the firestone , just liked the idea of the jounce system with the AirLift airbags.
