Are Ride-Rite Air Bags and WirelessAIR Compressor a Good Choice for 2019 Ford F-150 That Tows Often
Question:
Good Morning, I had the ride rite airbags on my 2013 f150 with manual valves next to the license plate. I tow my camper, boat, and job trailers fairly often, averaging 4-7k pounds. I would like to add an compressor and air bags on my 2019 f150. I was planning on buying the: Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System for Air Helper Springs - Wireless Remote Control, Item # AL72000 along with the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Double Convoluted - Rear Axle, Item # F2582. Thoughts? I also plan to add the Roush Fox 2.0 adjustable shocks in the front same set up I had before., and possibly in the rear this time. I appreciate your feedback. Thanks

You have chosen well because the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2582 and Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System # AL74000 are exactly what I would have recommended for your 2019 Ford F-150 if you had written in and asked what the best option would be for your situation.
The Ride-Rite are the highest-quality air bags on the market due to their construction; they have layered reinforced rubber which is extremely durable compared to other air bags and even have a lifetime warranty. The Ride-Rite # F2582 has a sturdy 4,800 lb capacity, which is going to be plenty for the amount of weight you are towing.
In regards to the Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System # AL74000, it is compatible with the Ride-Rite air bags and will make controlling them extremely easy. It has a wireless remote so running lines to your cab isn't necessary and it can maintain the amount of PSI you want in your air bags with a programmable setting, which is important because the Ride-Rites do need to have at least 5 psi of air pressure.
I have added links to video reviews for you to check out as well.
