Question:

On a 2018 GMC 3500 DRW I’m looking at Firestone red label 7500 bags, says there capacity is 150 psi. So what air compressor is recommended?? I like the looks and ease of installation of the airlift easy mount unit heavy duty compressor but it states max capability of 100 psi. Any thoughts or recommendations would be appreciated. Truck is used for hauling heavy loads of hay, equipment and cattle.

Expert Reply:

For an air compressor for your Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs # F2709 I recommend the Firestone Air Command II # F2219. This is a dual path compressor so you will be able to control your air bags individually and it has a max psi of 150. It uses an electric dual-guage control in your cab to operate your air bags using dual switches.

For an easier installation, I recommend using the No-Drill Mount Kit for Firestone Air Tank and Compressor # F2530.

I have attached a review and installation video for your reference.
