Question:
Hello, I am looking to install a dual pathway aircompressor/air bag leveling system on my F150. My application is leveling a pickup that has a heavy canopy with a couple hundred pounds of tools and tows a travel trailer or dump trailer on occasion. I do not want to compromise the ride to much, as such I am looking to avoid a bag with an internal jounce. Thanks!

If you're wanting to enhance your suspension on your 2016 Ford F150 and keep your ride quality, air bags are not the solution. If you wanted to go with the bags anyway, you would need to get the LoadLifter 5000 # AL88385 as we do not sell the LoadLifter PRO. Here is a compressor system that will work # AL25572.
If you wanted to go a different route and affect your ride quality less when not hauling, I would get the RoadActive Suspension Enhancement System # RAS3611-Y. This is adjustable and can help your suspension but not drive like a train on the road when not hauling. If you wanted to not affect your suspension at all, go with the SumoSprings # SSR-117-47. These will only be in use when your suspension sags low enough to make contact. You can use both the RoadActive and SumoSpring system together if you needed to! Both of these together are a more cost/time effective option compared to the bag system. You could always get one of the two and then add the other if necessary.
