I have the perfect solution for you! You'll want to use the Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs # F2703, which is a completely drill-free installation and is a more durable air bag than comparable models.
With that air bag kit, I recommend using the Air Command II Compressor System w F3 Wireless Remote, Xtreme Duty Compressor, Tank, Hose - Dual Path # F2592 because it comes with a wireless remote and can be used with up to a 6 gallon air tank; the kit comes with a 2 gallon air tank with hose and tire fill-up kit.
If you don't already have a 5 gallon tank you can use # F9242, which comes with 6- 3/8 NPT ports, 3- 1/4 NPT ports and 1- 1/8 NPT port to allow for connection to variable size air lines.
If you wanted a single path air line kit, which you can use the Air Command I # F2543, which comes with analog gauges for a wired controller in the truck's cab. There are some rather significant drawbacks to the single path kit. The most prominent ones are the analog gauges, no remote control, the lower PSI rating and the limitations on tank size that can be used with the kit.
If you're going to be installing this yourself, you may want to consider using the Firestone Tubing Cutter # F9009. We've found during our installations that if you don't cut the tube exactly square, the potential for leaks on the system is much greater. I've linked a few of our review videos and installations to this answer to help you out if you go down that road.
