Air Ride/Leveling system
I have a 2013 Ford F-250 Powerstroke crew cab short bed 4x4, and am looking into a Air ride system for it to level out and maybe soften the ride. Im looking for good brands, what I might expect to pay...

OK, you didn't think my post was helpful, the truth hurts, so how about this:
The OP is trying to make an F250 do the job that should be done by an F350 Dually. As to softer ride, these are Trucks after all and more than likely the hard ride is a result of the Rubber Snubbers sitting on the axles or so close that any bump and they hit. Want a soft ride, get one of those Lincoln or Caddy make believe trucks.
I am not a card carrying member of the weight Police, but there are limits on TVs and to tell someone that it's fine to exceed the limits to me is totally irresponsible.
Well how about this:
The 5er in the OP sig has a 2010# dry weight which is 18%. So the most it would probably ever get is around 3000#. There are 250/2500's that can handle that all day long. The OP wasn't asking you if his truck will handle it, he was asking about air ride suspensions to level his load.
It's his money, let him spend it they way he wants. I did and my 2500 handles my 3000# pin weight just as good as my 3500 did.
X2... I camp with two guys that both have 2006-08 F-350 DRW and they both squat when hooked to their 5er and neither is over-loaded. My Chevy 3500 DRW sits high unloaded but level loaded. Level is better and using air or something like a super spring can help you to get level.
