Question:
What is the most economical package I can get for air bags with a compressor for a 24 f250 7.3 gas? Ive used both firestone and airlift in the past on previous trucks but only had the manual fill option. Id like a compressor but Im a bit overwhelmed with all of the options. Id like to stay as close to $1000 if at all possible.

Hey Patrick! For this setup Air Lift will be the way to go. If you have a 2WD you need the # AL57391 and for the 4WD # AL79DQ. Then for an air compressor you can use the Air Lift Load Controller II Compressor System # AL25592.
This is a single path system with a manual gauge. It also has a sensor that automatically kicks on if your air pressure gets too low to protect the air bags. It isn't too fancy but it will do the job and keep you well within budget. If you would prefer a wireless compressor you could get the # AL25980 for a little bit more. This works via the remote or the app on your phone.
