Expert Reply:

You can inflate the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Rear Kit, # F2286, using an air compressor like some people have at home or that can be found at service stations. I recommend the Firestone Level Command II - Single-Gauge with Standard-Duty Compressor - Single Function, # F2158. You can control inflation/deflation from the comfort of your vehicle cab with the push of a button. I have included a link below to the installation details.
