The best air bags for your 2002 Ford F-250 are going to be the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs item # F2550. These air bags have a 5,000 lbs capacity that will level out the rear end of your F-250 when you are towing a trailer or hauling a heavy load in the bed.

All the mounting brackets and hardware are included for installation. This air bag kit is also compatible with in bed hitches.

I really like the Firestone airbags because they use a crimp rolled design which is much more durable than the band clamp used with the Air Lift Kits.

For an onboard compressor you will want the Firestone Air Command I item # F2097. This onboard compressor will allow you to adjust the PSI in your air bags individually from the comfort of your cab.

I have linked a couple of installation videos below so you can get a better idea of the install process and the functions of these parts.
