what are good air bags

I've got a 2012 F250 CC 4x4 and I want to put air bags to assist with leveling my truck when loaded. What bags would you recommend, and would you get a compressor with them?

  • I put Air-Lift Super Springs on my old 97. The boy still has it. They must be at least 12 yrs old and never a problem. I took a load leveler compressor from a old Buick and mounted it in the right rear wheel well, nasty location, it still works. A couple of flow control valves and gauges, a check valve and a regulator. Being able to adjust on the move is the only way to go, lets you fine tune the ride.
  • I have FS and I've had airlift. Both double bellow and no problems. I've seen single bellows but I wouldn't want them. I also have air-adjust rancho 9000s and a PRXB e-brake so compressor/in-cab controls was a no-brainer. I love every part of it! Craig

    I guess I'm getting lazy. I like sitting in my truck and inflating or deflating my air bags from the driver's seat.

    I had CW install Air Lift airbags when I first bought my fiver. The only issue was filling and deflating the bags. I recently installed an Air Lift air compressor that makes filling the air bags much more convenient. Definitely opt for the compressor when buying the bags!


    4 Wheel Parts installed my Air Lifters and the compressor.
