I used the air lift kit on my 3500 dually. I put them on because I lowered my dually and removed some of the leaf pack so I wanted to offset the loss of weight capacity wi the air bag. It was an easy install (I had the bed off) and they work great. Really improved the ride quality!
The air compressor is also a nice option.

I installed the Air-Lift system my '11 F-150. Its simple to install-took about 4 hours with the wireless compressor kit. My compressor went out about 1 year later, but Air-Lift replaced it for free.
The bags between Firestone and Air-Lift are similar, but Firestone has a better compressor.

I have over 1 million heavy towing miles on the firestone ride rite bags. The same pair has been transfered to multiple trucks. Love how stabil they feel. Handle loads better. Reduce sway. Overall ride is good. Empty ride will not improve like some think. Will be about the same if the pressure is dialed in to your liking.

Firestone Ride Rite are really good. Put them on my old truck and there were great for leveling under load. I didn't install the on board compressor. I bought a small rechargable compressor that I could just carry in the truck any time I needed some air. But most of the time I just left them at the same setting. They are simple to install.
