I am looking at putting air ride in my f150 to help with the sag while im towing. Which d oyou prefer. I know there are the two major players as far as air rite (firestone) and air lift (goodyear). I have heard the the goodyears arnt as durable. Also as i do more research i am underthe understanding that the kits dont come with the pumps. Is this true. do i have to buy a pump outside of the kit?

 

i have the firestone air ride and I'm very happy with it, easy to install, I've had it for about a year now and no problems, you are correct that it does not come with a pump, I use a bicycle pump to inflate the air bags, they have such low volume that i takes very little pumping to get them inflated. I carry a 8' camper and they help out a lot.

 

are you able to reach the higher end of presures with the bike pump. What about one of those 30$ dc tire pumos that you can buy that plug into your cigerette lighter? You think one of those would work?

 

Yes I can max out the pressure in my air bags with a bike pump without any problems, as for one of the electric pumps I don't know what the max psi would be. just buy a $25 bike pump and it will do the trick.
