The Air Lift 25592 kit. Its a single set up so both bags fill at the same time.

You can use the AirLift compressor and guage kit with the Firestone bags too.

Great looking install.
The onboard compressor and guages are always the toughest thing fo rme to install to make them look good.

So, for cheapness purposes, is it allright to go with just the air bag kit and no compressor or gauge ? Just leave the air bags filled until I get back from a trip hauling my trailer ?

i still dont have a compressor or gauge. when im not towing or hauling anything i just keep 5-10 lbs in the bags. when i do need them i just use the compressor at the house or gas station and a tire pressure gauge. if you have a portable air tank you can keep it full and carry it around with you to air the bags up when you need them.

About 50% or more of the installs go without an onboard compressor/guage set up.

Here is how I did my bags and gauge install:

I installed the bags first but since I tow a lot, I found that using a portable compressor a pain in the ****. Now that I have the onboard compressor, I could not imagine not having it. Just push the button and instant fill. I did leave the manual fill valves in place in case the compressor ever failed.
