Question:
I had some questions on air bag kits for my 1999 F250 Super Duty, 4WD, no 5th wheel hitch. Wanted to build a full kit including air compressor and possibly a tank. Had questions about the air ride no drill kits vs drill etc.

Here are the parts I recommend for your 1999 Ford F-240 4WD:
- Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2550
- No-Drill Mount Kit for Firestone Air Tank and Compressor # F2530
- Air Command I Xtreme Duty Compressor Kit # F2543 (single path)
OR
- Air Command II Xtreme Duty Compressor Kit # F2549 (dual path)
The Firestone air bags are the most reliable on the market since they have the rolled crimp seal to the mounting plates, and then the air compressor kits come with the other things you mentioned with the only difference between them being single path (both air bags have the same psi) or dual path (air bags can have separate psi).
I've attached some videos for you to check out as well. If you have any additional questions feel free to reach back out!
