f250 with Flareside?

does anyone know if I'm able to put a flare-side bed on a f250 4x4 extended cab?

also i want to lower the truck. which is better to haul with when lowered. A djm kit or

are airbags a better option seeing as i would like to still haul a 8x16 dump trailer?

and yes i know i know about the whole it's useless to lower a truck but i need it to be my weekend cruiser and my work truck if at all possible.

You can use a Flareside bed.
Is your truck currently a short box? if not then the Flareside bed will be about
16 inches short.

What year is your truck?

a 99-03 gen is going to be a Superduty F-250, which I don't believe have a flare side bed option. The 98 Superduty has the 97-03 body but has the 7 lug bolt circle and I don't know what the suspension is like under it if you want to lower it.
