I just want to adapt a #57275 to a #57396

Seems simple enough to me. I have traded emails and phone calls with Air Lift to no avail. The Air Lift representative says to "contact my local Air Lift dealer". The dealer says "I have never heard of such of a thing". He contacts his supplier who has not either.
I bought my Firestone kit used from different truck and took me several calls to Firestone to find the part numbers for bracket fitting my F450. After all that work it turned out that brackets only cost just slightly less than whole new kit and way more than I paid for used one. I just manufactured the brackets.

When Mike with Air Lift told me that the F250 used completely different air bags from what I had, adapting was out of the question for me.

I have also found a new home for the kit that I have.
