Question:

Thanks for that info. So could I get by with just a compressor that attaches to the Rite-Ride system that inflates/deflates and displays the pressure? Got any suggestions.

The Firestone Single Gauge HD Compressor kit part # F2097 would be a great way to monitor air pressure and inflate the bags of the Firestone kit part # F2255 that fits your 2001 Ford Excursion but you do not have to use a compressor at all if you don't want to. You could get by without a compressor at all installed on your vehicle and just inflate the bags at home if you wanted.

The # F2097 is a really solid option. It's a simpler setup with a single manual gauge which you can use to inflate and deflate the bags from within your cab and it also uses heavier duty compressor which allows it to inflate the bags a bit quicker.
