Expert Reply:

I recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F35FV for your 2022 Ford F-250. The reason I would choose the Firestone over the Air Lift you looked at is the superior construction and durability. Firestone uses 4 layers of reinforced rubber to ensure durability while Air Lift only uses 2-ply fabric reinforced rubber. The Firestone air bags also have a braided wire girdle to increase burst pressure. In addition to this, they feature a rolled crimp seal to keep the air bags anchored.

For a compressor I recommend the Firestone Air Command II # F2178. This features a standard-duty compressor with a max psi of 130 and a dual-gauge control. It is a dual path system so you will be able to control the air bags individually or together equally.

I have attached some review and installation videos for your reference.
