Default Which Airbags?

I tow quite a bit with my f150 on the farm and it squats which I do not like. I guess I am wondering if I should get airbags and what airbags are probably the best. Yes I have searched it but no one really says what is the best. I also think that I would run the compressor just so I could change on the fly like if I was in the middle of a field.

Let my know your opinions. Thanks

I would go firestone they make a quality bag. Those air lift ones are kinda crappy.

If it gets farm use you should go high quality.

You think I should do standard compressor or heavy duty? I was also thinking about maybe putting in the tank.

I would buy a viair pump and leave it under the back seat. Thats just me tho. I dont like bolting all too much to the truck. Just more things to fail and cause issues.

Firestone ride right and the Firestone pump as well, anybody can hook it up and it works awsome. Takes about 3 hours but isnt hard

I am probably going to get the firestones since it seems like everyone has them. How much did your set-ups cost? Looks like for the bags and compressor will be like $500?

Google works great for this stuff. Try the manufactures websites too.
