I just put the Firestone red label on my 2020 F350 CCSB 6.7L FX4 with no issues. I would say that I didn’t do as good a job as I should have getting the lower bracket tight against the spring pack, so the ears on the bracket ended up bent in when I tightened up the UBolt for it, but it all seems to work fine, ran it around with 80psi in it for a few days to make sure no leaks, and the bags are all sitting nice and true to the mounts.

I put Airlift on my 2017 F350, and again on my 2019 F450. Been very happy with them, and their customer service is great. Both bags were the 5000 Ultimate+ versions (with the internal jounce bumper). I'm not sure about the 2020 versions... but on the prior model if you had the rear wheel well inserts, you had to trim them with the Firestone bags.

The actual air bag installs I've seen look straight forward and fairly simple, but it would be interesting to see various compressor, control and auxiliary tank install locations and ideas, along with wiring and routing necessary.
It would be nice to not only have the added benifit of the air bags, but also onboard air that could keep up with airing up tires and possibly even power some pneumatic tools. I know its somewhat common to do, the air bag install videos Ive found seem to gloss over the details after installation of the bags themselves.

I carry a Truck Camper and install Air Bags on every new truck. I chose Pacbrake Airbags this time around for my 19' F450. Very impressive, similar to my previous Helwig Bags on my 17'. Substantially Heavier built the my previous Airlift or Firestones.
