I am not sure if you are needing a new airbag kit or just the compressor kit. If you are needing air bags, I recommend the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs # AL88297 (2-wheel drive) or # AL88295 (4-wheel drive). The reason I like these springs is because they feature internal jounce springs which gives you the best of both worlds. You get the adjustability of air springs and the comfort of the jounce springs engaging at lower air pressure and if the bag is damaged.
As far as compressors are concerned, I like the Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System for Air Helper Springs # AL74000EZ. This is a dual path system which means you can adjust each spring individually. This is very helpful for uneven loads as it allows you to put more air into the heavier side to balance it out. It also features both a remote and Bluetooth app. This means you can have the luxury of using your phone as the controller, but if the app drops or you lose service you also have the remote to operate the system.
A more economical option would be the Air Lift WirelessONE Compressor System # AL25980 which is a single path system and still has a remote and Bluetooth. Single path simply means that you will fill both airbags to the same level. There would not be individual capability.
