I just installed the firestone Ride Rite Bags and ordered Bilstein 5100 for my 2012 Screw. Anyone running these parts? Opinions?

I didn't add the air compressor but thinking that I am going to.

My buddy just installed the airlift bags and the wireless controller/compressor on his Silverado 1500 and it is sweet! I'm planning on the same setup for mine. The whole package was like $680 on Amazon.

I don't have Bilsteins, but I have a 6" BDS with the Firestone Ride Rites.

My son also just got a 2013 and I will be putting a level on his truck very soon - and the exact Firestone Ride Rite set up that I have. (Yea...they're that good!)

Here's a link on the thread I did on my install:

Anyone know where you could buy airlines and push fittings? I'm moving my bags from a 2012 Work Truck to my 2013 FX4. Once done I will have the set up the OP is asking about but all the lines are shot at this time.

Home Depot or Ace hardware have push fittings.

if you don't haul/tow a lot, then you can just add a gauge in the cab. initially I didn't have the gauge or compressor, and found it was kind of a pita to check the pressure then add air if it needed (well, it's easy, but remembering to do it was a pita)

I added the switch/gauge and compressor - it's nice to have the onboard, but again if you don't change the pressure very often and want to save some money just add the gauge - that way you don't accidentally run them empty (if you have a small leak). Mine hold pressure no problem, so I usually only use the compressor every couple weeks to make sure all the moving parts still work (let air out, fill it back up)

I put 10lbs in the bag just to have something in them and man did that rear end raise. It will look better when the 5100's installed. Going to have to get larger wheels and tires now.
I didn't get the compressor, but think I am going to add it for convenience.

Grainger has a bunch of that airline/air stuff. That's where I got mine.
