i'm not sure why that have so many different part numbers, but at least a few of us have used this or one like this
https://www.airliftcompany.com/shop/59209/
I have a compressor in the cab behind the seat and a dual stage controller to take care of everything from within the cab. I eliminated the low pressure valves however. Every time I hit a bump and the bags would hyperextend a little, they would pump in air. So after a little bit of driving, the air pressure in them would keep increasing and adding firmness and a little extra lift.
Without the low pressure regulators, they're great.

I did, except for welding the brackets to the frame.
Welding on the frame is actually a source of contention among some folks as they say it shouldn't be done, and I won't argue with anyone about it here. The instructions show drilling holes and installing sleeves for the bolts to slide through in order to keep from squishing the frame when you tighten them up. I didn't want to do that so I just had a friend weld the brackets to the frame and they've been like that for probably 5.5 years with no sign of any trouble yet.
My opinion is that the manufacturer designed the kit to be a no weld kit as they would sell more of them because not everyone can weld or has access to a welder.

I believe the fronts are set at 3" I love how the stance is too, it came out perfect. Handles way better than expected! Only drawbacks I found is vibration at 40-60kph but hopefully shims fix that problem. The shop couldn't get the front to 0 camber but very close to it. And I've found there are some squeaks but belltech shipped me new shackles and I will see if that fixes it
