Air Lift or Firestone air bags for 2018 2500 4WD?

I'm looking to add air bags to my 2018 2500 4WD, and wondering whether folks recommend the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 or the Firestone Ride-Rite based on your own actual firsthand experience?

Ive got the airlift on my power wagon. Been flawless for the last 9 years. I take my truck to the samd dunes every summer and the interior bumpstops have been repeatedly been hammered on for years. Never had an issue with em. Simple/quick install. Know nothing about the firestones, but im sure they are quality too. Probly cant go wrong with either.

I would ask what your plan is with the truck use? I have the air lift 7500 I believe, I got them for handling the weight as well as any squat. I can tell you I don't have any issue, when running heavy trailer 70 psi is actually too much the back bumper raises higher then expected. so 50 psi is about where it sits stock, light trailer 10 pounds air works just fine and running empty 5 psi, the minimum they recommend is great.

I have the Airlifter 5000 with the internal bumpstops on mine. Run 0 psi empty which is okay on that style. No issues with mine after 3+ years. Never used the Firestone bags, but not sure how they would perform any different. I think about the only possible difference is in how long they would last?
