Air bag recommendations

I have a 2003 F350 4x4 srw 6.0 with 4" lift and 35's. I pulling a '16 Oakmont 375 QB that tips the scales at just under 15000lbs. I'm looking to put a set of air bags on it to level out the ride. I had a set of Firestone bags on a 1/2 ton Ram pulling a Salem that weighed about half what this camper does. At the time I was told they were the best you could get. Being a truck driver I liked the fact that they are made the same as a semi bag. Are they still the best out there? Can they be used with a lift kit? Thanks in advance for your replies.

They make spacers for Firestone air bags in different heights for different lifts. They are for the leaf springs here Buy Air Bag Spacers for Lifted Trucks | TruckSpring

Also, as far as air bags go, I don't think there is much difference in all of the 4 main bags out there. Firestone, AirLift, Pac-Brake and Hellwig. Just personal choice. I've have Firestone Ride-Rites on both of my last two duallies and love them.
