Hi Steven!

What you are looking for is the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs with Internal Jounce Bumpers - Rear Axle # AL88213. This will fit the Cargo Van as well as the Passenger Wagon, but I do need to mention that this will only fit the rear wheel drive vans. If you have an all wheel drive model (again, cargo or passenger), I recommend going with the Pacbrake Alpha HD Pro Air Bag Suspension Kit w/ Internal Jounce Bumpers - Rear Axle - 5,000 lbs # PB73ZV. Like the Air Lift, this also has internal jounces, but it has been confirmed to fit both the rear wheel and all wheel drive models.

Then for a compressor system, the Firestone Automatic, Single-Gauge Pneumatic Height-Control Valve w/ Compressor, 1/2-Gallon Tank # F2186-2047 is currently our only auto-leveling system. It is single path, but it does include an auxiliary tank for filling tires or other things.

Now you may have noticed both of the air bag kits I mentioned above are for the rear wheels. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any manufacturer currently making front air bags for a 2026 T250. We do have a couple other options though, and I have those listed below:

Timbren Front Suspension Enhancement System # T69EV
Coil SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs for Coil Spring Suspension - Front Axle # CSS-1195F

The Timbren option can be somewhat harsh as it is meant for heavier loads (think plows and things like that) and the SumoSprings option will be the lighter duty option. What you will be using your van for will dictate which option will be better for you, but both of these have a satisfaction guarantee (30 days for the SumoSprings and 100 days for the Timbren). This means that is you don't like whichever you decide to go with, it can be returned for a full credit. Call it a trial period to make sure you like it and is doing what you are wanting it to do. It takes a lot of pressure off the whole purchase. ^___^

On that note, what are you using your van for? A lot of people are using these for van-life campers lately.
