Question:

Thank you for the info. Do you have a recommendation for a compressor setup like you sent but with a wireless remote to control the compressor?

Firestone has 6 inch spacer kit for use with their kits as part # F2374. But you have to determine first if your lift is all suspension or if it's a body lift and suspension lift combination which is most common on lifts of your size. Basically the spacer you'll need is the amount the suspension height changed. So let's say your lift was a 4 inch suspension lift with a 2 inch body lift. Then you'd need the 4 inch spacer part # F2370. I also attached a link to a page that has all of the spacers we have if you need a different height.

The correct Ride Rite kit for your 2017 Ford F-250 is the Firestone part # F35FV that you referenced. Then for a compressor kit with an air tank to allow you to fill tires and potentially use an air horn (my condolences to your neighbors), you would want the Air Command I Xtreme Duty Compressor with Analog Gauge, Air Tank, and 25' Hose # F2543. This will allow you to control the pressure of the bags from inside your truck cab, comes with a heavy duty compressor that inflates the tanks/bags quickly, and comes with an air chock setup to allow you to inflate your tires.

Yes, we have the Air Command II Compressor System part # F2592 which is essentially the same setup, heavy duty compressor, air tank, air line/chock except it comes with a wireless remote. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.
