Air lift air bags
Has anyone used these? I am looking at some online. What kind of compressor kit?

Just installed them in my truck. Very easy and heavy duty. I bought the compressor setup online. I bought the bags for $275 with free shippinig and compress/guage for $115 with free shipping. Still have to install the compressor. Hopefully tomorrow ill get it done.

I used Firestones, which, either brand is great, but I used a Viair 10007 onboard air system. Now I do a lot more than just air up the bags.

I have the Firestone bags and the Airlift wireless remote compressor. Awesome setup. The ability to change the pressure on the fly is the way to go.

I have the Airlift Ride Control bags. If you buy before the and of April they are offering rebates on the 5000 and ride control air bags and also on the compressor system. I purchased mine through Amazon.

SDtrucksprings and Begs.com are popular places to buy them.
I have had the air lift ride rite 5000's on my last 3 trucks including my current truck until this last week.
I dropped the front down -1” and the rear down -2"
removed the ride rite 5000's and replaced them with air lifts slam air kit 59209. I have been getting tired of all the newer trucks needing a step ladder to get in and out of the bed. If these bags work as well as I hope they do I will be dropping the truck down more. Maybe all the way to a 3/5 drop.

Looks like I won't be getting the deal like you folks.
Cheapest I can find is $750 for 2012 f250.
Firestone ride rite bags $350
Wireless compressor setup $400
Through amazon, sdtrucksprings a touch more for my truck.

i got mine off of Craig's List. Guy bought ''em for his F-250 then decided to get an F-350 instead. Never put 'em on. Brand new bags and the wireless remote compressor was a bonus.
