Compressor to Use With Firestone Coil-to-Air-Spring Conversion Kit on 2014 Ram 1500
Question:
With this kit installed on my Ram, what onboard compressor would I need to be able to kneel the truck to hook up a trailer? How much will this spring kit allow when deflated?

There are a number of compressors that will work with the Firestone Coil-to-Air-Spring Conversion Kit # F2595 that fits your 2014 Ram 1500.
That said, this kit is a replacement for your coils, and isn't going to raise your truck or lower it, when the springs are fully inflated or deflated to the minimum 5 psi. What it does is give you a way to help keep your truck's rear level when your truck's rear suspension has weight on it.
The compressor I highly recommend is the the Air Command Compressor System - Wireless - Smartphone Enabled # F2610. This compressor is totally unique because it allows you to adjust the air pressure in the bags from the comfort of your truck's cab with just your smartphone. Other wireless systems require the use of a remote, which (if you're anything like me) have a tendency to come up missing.
Another option if you wanted something more standard with just a gauge in your truck's cab is the Firestone Air Command I - Analog Gauge with Standard-Duty Compressor # F2158.
I have added links to a number of video reviews and installations for you to check out as well.
