Expert Reply:

Firestone does make the highest quality air bag kits for trucks due to the better ply rating of the bags and how the bags attach to the metal plates where the inflation valves are. They also offer kits that can fit with in-bed hitches like what you are planning to install in your 2006 Ford F-350 so you'd want the Ride Rite kit part # F2398 and you'd be set with the best option available.

For a compressor kit then the heavy duty part # F2097 will work great to make inflating the bags and maintaining them easier. The compressor will inflate faster than standard compressors and the gauge inside the vehicle will allow you to monitor and inflate them from inside the vehicle.
