They are installed by Superduty Headquarters here in Arizona. This is the second truck I've had them on and been really impressed with them. With the onboard compressor and tank it makes it really convenient to adjust while traveling. When empty, they don't bind you up like other bags either.

Thanks! Are they indeed the same bags as you buy on the Carli site? (I am assuming Carli doesn't make airbags)

Bringing this thread back to life with hope that others will post here.

I'm looking at going with a BDS 2.5" suspension lift and running 37" tires. Before I do that I want to make sure that I won't have any issues towing the 5th wheel trailer.

I'm also looking at a Reese Goosebox wondering if that'll work with my "short bed" truck. Thanks for any input

I looked into the Goosebox, but felt like it didn't have enough height adjustment for me to take the plunge. I'll also be towing a 5th wheel with 37's, using the 2.5 Readylift SST kit on a 2021. My trailer has factory flipped axles, sits fairly high. Just need the truck to show up now!

My last truck was a 1 ton dually with Dick Cepek FCII's, that were 38" tall. I thought they pulled fine, just had to adjust the gooseneck tube to get the trailer back level. If you could not get enough adjustment on the tongue, that might be a issue with pulling and bed clearance. On a dually, the biggest problem was using enough spacer width to avoid the tires rubbing each other. I also had 4.10 rear end which made the tires better for around town driving economy.

I pulled mine home 250 miles from my property with a 6.5 inch lift and 37's. I was going to use a friends truck because I thought I might have a bed rail clearance issue, but there was plenty. It was not level of course and I would not want to run that way all the time, but I just wanted to get it home to sell it.

Following up on the Reese Goosebox on my Short Bed F350...

The good folks at eTrailer responded to my question and said, "We do not recommend the goosebox due to the clearance of the cab with them. It doesn't put the pin box back far enough."

So I went with a B&W Companion Slider. Now I need some more



to take it out and put it in
