Most applications I've seen will not fit on a lifted truck.

What is the application?  I can check tuesday when I get back to the shop.

The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

2000 Ford Excursion 4x4 with a 6 inch lift in the front and blocks in the rear. I hope with the blocks in the rear I can use the air bags. I was looking at the bracket and I think I can flip it.

I know you're in Dago, but my boys in Torrance can probably hook you up with a good setup.\

sell a Ford and get a chevy??? Now that's just dumb. You'd be sacrificing tow capability. That, and Chevy doesn't offer an 8-9 passenger vehicle with a diesel... PLUS Chevy has their ridiculous IFS system up front, great for comfort but nothing else on a HD truck...

My friend has bags on his SRW F-350 with a Pro-comp 6" lift on 37" tires. He's towing a 17,000 lb trailer with an ls2 funnco inside.

He said he got his bags from 4wheelparts and spent about $400. He bought an onboard compressor later on to fill on the fly. Whole system ended up around $700 with dash gauges, bags, compressor, wiring, dash mount fill controls.

I would suggest that your friend weigh each axle on the truck and trailer when loaded to make sure he is not overloading the tires.
 
Most oversize, off-road type tires are a load range C and not desinged to carry/tow that kind of load.

He's lucky if he hasn't been the guy we see trying to change a tire on the side of the freeway.

Nitto Terra Grapplers- E rated. My friends and I may be young. But things like that tend not to escape our realm of safety consciousness...

Hmmm, added towing capacity and stability might be a good reason??
There is a reason why the Ford is rated to tow more than the rest, despite the powerstroke making less power...
