Looking to set up air bags on my ford f 250. Sold the old dodge tow truck and am forced to set up the ford now........ Had firestones in the old truck with manual air to each bag....worked ok. Now wondering about the same bag but with a compressor on board. What are my options.... Also looking to get these installed either in Edmonton or red deer. (don't have the time right now to do it myself).

Any thoughts.

Was planning to bring the truck into Ric at Sherwood park auto.....maby he could give the old girl a new set of bags.

I have the AirLift bags on my GMC2500HD. Works great with the built-in compressor. Wireless remote is like a garage door opener with individual controls for up, down, left, and right sides. It is the LoadLifter 5000, with the Wireless digital controller Kit 72000.

I'm sure Ric could doo it for you! He's the master!

I run the firestone ones, but cheaped out and didn't get the onboard compressor, so far no regrets not getting it!

Nice, what tires did you go with. I put the firestones in my 2012 f250 and love them.
