Expert Answers about Ram On Board Air Compressor


  • Duty Cycle of the Bulldog Winch Double Cylinder On-Board Air Compressor BDW41006
  • The Bulldog Winch Double Cylinder On-Board Air Compressor part # BDW41006 has a 30% duty cycle at 100 psi. Therefore, the air compressor can run at full pressure for 3 minutes and then it must rest for 7 minutes. If you are looking for an air compressor with a constant 100% duty cycle then we have the Firestone Xtreme-Duty Air Compressor part # F9287.

  • On-Board Compressor Recommendation for use with Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs
  • There are several options for an on-board compressor for your Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2299. Since you tow your gooseneck every day, I suggest using a heavy-duty compressor. If you would like to be able to level the air springs individually, I recommend the Firestone Dual Air Command II # F2168. This kit comes with a pneumatic control that mounts in the cab, a super-heavy-duty compressor, and a 1/2 gallon air tank. The air tank helps to inflate the air springs faster....

  • Is There a Way To Control Air Helper Springs for Towing with Existing On-Board Tank and Compressor
  • The only option we can offer to control air bags using an existing on-board compressor system for another purpose is with manual inflation valves like what come with the Dual Function Air Spring Control Panel part # F2145. We don't have any wireless manifolds to control the air bags with another compressor. For wireless, you'd need a full kit like the Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System for Air Helper Springs part # AL58WQ.

  • Recommended Air Bags and Compressor System for a 2019 Ford F-350 4x4 SRW

  • Can I Use The Pacbrake Air Bag and Compressor Kit on my 2026 450 SuperDuty With on Board Scales
  • Thanks for your question, Eddie. The short answer is yea, you can install the Pacbrake air bags with on board air compressor and 2-1/2 gallon tank, part # PB77SV. However, there are a few things to keep in mind. Since your truck is equipped with the on board scales, the air bags may affect it's readings. The air bags, even if its at the minimum 5 psi, will affect the ride of the truck. You can mount the compressor and the tank pretty much anywhere on your truck as long as you can route...

  • Is There a Wireless Air Compressor System with On-Board Tank
  • I do have an option for you but you can't mix and match components from different air compressor systems. If you want an on-board tank then you'll have to go with a wired option like Air Lift QuickShot Compressor System part # AL25572 which requires routing air lines into the cab. The wireless options like the Air Lift WirelessONE Compressor System part # AL25980EZ don't have an integrated tank but also don't require air lines run into the cab. I prefer wireless since less air lines means...

  • Recommended Air Helper Spring Kit and On-Board Air Compressor For 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche
  • I have another option for you, but the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Spring # F53ZR is only confirmed to fit Ford Transit vans and will not fit your Avalanche.

For an on-board air compressor I recommend the Air Lift...

  • Recommended Air Bag Kit And Compressor For A 2019 GMC Denali HD 4WD SRW 3500
  • That is a nice setup. You are absolutely right that adding an air bag kit will help to reduce the porpoising and side-to-side movement while you are towing. When you factor in your campers hitch weight, plus the weight of your companion slider you should be just under/around 2,800 lbs added to the bed of your truck. For that reason we do recommend going with a Heavy Duty air bag kit. For that I recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs # F2709. I prefer...

  • Recommended Air Helper Springs And On-Board Air Compressor For 2018 Ford F-150 W/ 6 Lift
  • I have another option for you, but the Air Lift Ride Control # AL59570 will not fit your 2018 Ford F-150 since it has a 6" lift. Instead I recommend the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs with Internal Jounce Bumpers # AL88268 if your truck is a 2WD, or the # AL88385 if your truck is a 4WD model. Since your truck has a 6" suspension lift you will either need the 6" Spacer # AL52460, or a 4" spacer # AL52440. A lot of times a 6" lift is not truly 6" so I highly recommend...

  • Recommended Air Bags and Compressor for Tires On 2002 Ford Excursion
  • The Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F2255 for 2WD or part # F2251 4WD are what I recommend for a 2002 Ford Excursion. These air bags offer a bolt-on fit and will do a great job of providing extra support when towing or hauling. In order to inflate the air bags from inside the vehicle, you'll need an air compressor system. The Air Command II Xtreme Duty Compressor part # F2549 is what I recommend for this as it has everything you need for a complete installation, including...

  • Is Air Tank Necessary with Firestone F2219 On Board Air Helper Spring Compressor Kit
  • You CAN use an air tank like the Firestone # F9126 to the # F2219 Air Command II Air Helper Spring compressor system which will allow you to add pressure to the air helper springs more quickly but it's not necessary. The # F2219 compressor system will operate just fine without a tank. I've linked to a video showing a typical installation of the # F2219 compressor system.

  • Hey Eddie, Yep, they sure will; the factory on-board scales of your 2024 Ford F-350 Super Duty will not affect the fit of the air bags.
