Best Air Compressor System for Air Bags On Ford F-350

Question:

I am looking to purchase a wireless compressor to go with the LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate springs I just installed on my truck. Can you help guide me on which compressor would be more appropriate - the AL74000EZ compressor vs. AL25980 compressor. Obviously, I like the price of the AL25980 better, as price is a factor in my decision. However, I want to make sure that it would be the best for my usage. I have an 2021 Ford F350 Super-Duty DRW and I will be pulling a 17,000+ lb. 5th wheel camper. For most of the year, we will be moving the camper every 1-3 months, but there will be short periods where it may be on a daily basis. But most often, it wont be frequently moved unless were traveling/vacationing. Would either of these compressors work? Would one be more ideal? Thank you!

My personal favorite air compressor system and the one we recommend most is the Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System for Air Helper Springs part # AL74000EZ. I have installed this system many times and it is the easiest to install option offered by far. It also has the least amount of problems from past experience both directly after install and down the road. It requires the least amount of modifications to the vehicle since you simply clamp the unit around the frame using the included u-bolt. The other air compressor options all require drilling into the frame and routing a bunch of air lines and wires which is not only difficult but can also bring up warranty issues down the road. Furthermore, this system is a dual path which means you can adjust each air bag individually as well as together whereas a lot of other wireless systems are single path like the Air Lift WirelessONE Compressor System part # AL25980. The Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System is a bit less cost effective than some other options but it will be worth it in the end due to the easy install and reliable nature of the system.

I have attached an install video I did below on a similar truck which should help assist with installation.
