See what our Experts say about this Firestone Air Suspension Compressor Kit

• Does Firestone Air Compressor Automatically Turn On and Off as Air is Needed
  The air compressor in Air Command I Xtreme Duty Compressor Kit # F2543 will only run when the vehicle ignition is on. So if the vehicle is running and the tank needs air it will kick on automatically. There isn't a switch to turn it on and off manually. I have included a link to the installation details for you.

• Should Firestone Compressor Turn Off and On When Vehicle Is Off
  The compressor should have a 12 volt keyed source that tells the compressor when to turn on. Most likely someone wired your keyed source straight to the battery which allows it to be active all the time. Which compressor did you install?

• Air Bag and Compressor Kit Recommendations for a 2022 GMC Sierra 2500HD AT4
  I recommend using the following kits from Firestone for your 2022 GMC Sierra 2500HD AT4: - Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs # F2709 - Air Command I Xtreme Duty Compressor # F2543 The Red-Label air bags are a little overkill for 5th wheel trailering but I like recommending them so trucks are more than equipped with what they need, plus this means the air bags won't need to be filled up as much so they won't be working as hard either. The Air Command I Xtreme...

• Recommended Firestone Air Compressor Kit to Inflate Air Bags and Tires, Etc.
  The Firestone Air Command I - Analog Gauge w/ Standard-Duty Compressor # F2158 can be used to inflate your tires. Normally if you want that function because it requires another connection, I recommend the Air Command I Xtreme Duty Compressor with Analog Gauge, Air Tank, and 25' Hose # F2543. This not only gives you the stronger compressor, but the 2-gallon reservoir tank, hose with gauge and storage bag to keep all the extra equipment in. This will ensure you don't overwork your compressor...

• Recommendation for 2012 Ford F-350 Super Duty That Squats While Towing a Toy Hauler
  Hey David, thanks for reaching out! If your RoadActive Suspension Kit isn't getting the job done for you then I recommend making sure your OEM suspension is in good working order and that the RAS is adjusted to give the most help possible. Aside from that my only other recommendation would be to remove the RAS and go with the Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs # F2703 rated for 7,500 lbs instead. These require a bit more maintenance than the RAS but they are...

• Will the No-Drill Mount Kit for Firestone Work With Air Command I Xtreme Duty Compressor Kit
  I don't show the No-Drill Mount Kit for Firestone Air Tank and Compressor part # F2530 as a fit for the Air Command I Xtreme Duty Compressor Kit part # F2543. They don't offer a no-drill mounting bracket for this exact kit but I have used the above no-drill bracket with other tanks and compressors not listed, you just need to drill new holes into the plate and rearrange as needed. It would still prevent drilling into the frame.

• Comparing Firestone Air Command Xtreme Duty Compressor Kit to Xtra-Duty Compressor Kit
  The Air Command I Xtreme Duty Compressor with Analog Gauge, Air Tank, and 25' Hose - Single Path # F2543 and the Firestone Air Command I - Analog - Xtra-Duty Compressor w/Air Tank and 25' Hose - 150 psi # F2266 are very similar systems from the same manufacturer. The difference is in the speed of the compressor, size of air tank, tire inflation fitting with gauge and bag that come with the larger kit. The compressor is twice as fast at getting to the 150 psi and the reservoir tank is...

• Air Bag Kit Recommendation for a 2015 Ford F-250 Super Duty for 5th Wheel Towing
  I recommend installing the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2597 on your 2015 Ford F-250 Super Duty. This has a 5,000 lb weight capacity (although it only helps handle the load and won't increase the truck's weight capacity) and is also compatible with an in-bed hitch like your B&W. Since you plan on using this for towing a 5th wheel I also recommend installing the Air Command I Xtreme Duty Compressor Kit # F2543 which not only allows you to monitor and adjust the air bags on...

• Troubleshooting Compressor for Firestone Air Springs that Won't Shut Off
  It sounds like there may be a wiring issue or blown fuse on your Firestone compressor system like the part # F2543. The compressor should only run when the vehicle ignition is on, and even then only if the tank needs air. Check to make sure there isn't a blown fuse that needs to be replaced or any exposed or pinched wiring that might be causing a short. You can also test the compressor by itself to see if it's faulty by connecting it directly to the battery through fused wire. If you...

• Compressor System That Can Upgrade From 2-Gallon to 5-Gallon Tank
  There is a compressor system that will allow you to upgrade from a 2-gallon tank to a 5-gallon tank, but the Air Lift needs to use its 2-gallon tank. Instead, what you can use is a kit from Firestone: - Air Command I Xtreme Duty Compressor with Analog Gauge, Air Tank, and 25' Hose # F2543 The # F2543 comes with a 2-gallon tank, but you can upgrade to the larger tank with the Firestone Air Tank, 5 Gallon # F9242.

• What is Benefit to Running Compressor Kit with Air Tank for Vehicle Air Bag Suspension Enhancement
  For the Firestone Kit part # F2430 the compressor kit Air Command I part # F2158 would fit it and work well. You would not need an air tank unless you wanted the bags to fill very quickly. That's the benefit to the tanks. They allow the bags to inflate very quickly. A similar setup that included the tank is part # F2543. This also comes with a hose so you could refill tires if needed.

• Air Compressor Kit for Firestone Air Bags on a 2005 Ford F-350 Towing a 5th Wheel Trailer
  The Firestone compressor system you choose is going to depend on your needs. If you want a model that fills both air bags at the same time (single path) then I recommend # F2097. This type of system is great if you carry the same load frequently, like towing a trailer, and don't really need to level the truck bed side to side. A model that comes with an air tank, such as # F2543, would be able to add air to the bags faster. If you do need to level the bed side to side as well then I recommend...

• Air Bag Kit and Compressor Kit Recommendation for a 2022 Ram 3500 4x4
  For your application I recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite air bags since they are the best quality on the market. These air bags are compatible with your truck unless it has a factory suspension, and they come in these supporting weight ratings (they won't increase your weight capacity): - Standard 5,000 lbs # F2615 - Red Label 7,500 lbs # F2710 I personally like to recommend the Red Label just because the higher weight capacity means you won't be stressing them out as much with heavier...

• How To Determine What A Good Ignition Source To Install A Firestone Extreme Duty System Is?
  In order to determine the correct 12v, 30 amp, ignition activated power source for your Command I Xtreme Duty Compressor with Analog Gauge, Air Tank, and 25' Hose # F2543, you will need to physically test with a multimeter # PT29ZR, or refer to your owner's manual for which circuits come on with the ignition, and which ones are at 30 amps. Unfortunately, we cannot tell you which circuits those might be, as these will vary from vehicle to vehicle. I have attached a piece of the wiring...

• Firestone Vs Air Lift Air Bags and Single Vs Dual Compressor for a 2015 Chevy Silverado 3500
  The air bags I recommend for a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 are the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F2596. I recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs over the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs part # AL57338 because the air bags are more durable since they use a crimp rolled design instead of a band clamp (see photo) and there are typically fewer components therefore easier to install. The air compressor kit I recommend for the Firestone Ride-Rite Air...

• Firestone Air Bag Kit and Compressor Recommendation for 2017 Ford F-250 with 6 inch Lift
  Firestone has 6 inch spacer kit for use with their kits as part # F2374. But you have to determine first if your lift is all suspension or if it's a body lift and suspension lift combination which is most common on lifts of your size. Basically the spacer you'll need is the amount the suspension height changed. So let's say your lift was a 4 inch suspension lift with a 2 inch body lift. Then you'd need the 4 inch spacer part # F2370. I also attached a link to a page that has all of the...

• Adding Air Compressor for Air Bags and to Inflate Tires on 2010 Toyota Sequoia w/Air Lift Air Bags
  The Air Lift WirelessONE Compressor System # AL25980 doesn't have the necessary oomph (to use a technical term) or components to handle inflating vehicle tires but there are other systems that are rated for this. Basically you will be looking at compressor systems that also have an air tank and that come with an inflation hose (so you wouldn't have to add an extension). Below is a list of options that you can use for your application: # F2168 # F2549 # F2266 # F2239 # F2047 # F2543 #F49VV

• Air Lift Kit to Fit with Reese 5th Wheel Brackets Installed on a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty
  The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57212 are designed to fit your 2008 Ford F-250 but when it comes to compatibility with 5th wheel/gooseneck mounting brackets, it only fits with the Reese universal mounting brackets. The Reese Kit # RP50082-58 you installed uses custom mounting brackets, which are better, so instead you'll need to use the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57398.
