Can I Use Firestone Air Bags with an AirLift Compressor System on 2021 Ford F-250
Question:
I have a 2021 F250 4x4 non FX4. I am interested in adding air bags to help with any sag when pulling my toy hauler. I am wanting a system that will allow me to manually add air or deflate using a wireless system with an onboard air compressor but also have the feature where it will auto level itself without my needing to do anything. I am wanting to use the Firestone Ride rite air bags but it seems the Air Lift system has a better controller for auto leveling airlift 72000 I have a few questions. Can I use an airlift compressor and auto leveling controller to inflate/deflate Firestone air bags? What is your opinion of the two controllers? Can you give me part numbers for what I would need? If you think the firestone controller is better for what I want do they make an entire package with everything? You have helped me in the past and I am sure you will steer me correctly this time. Thanks!

I'll start out by saying that there isn't an air bag and compressor system that's sold as a complete package, but you can definitely use Firestone bags with an AirLift compressor system without any issues; I definitely like the AirLift compressor systems a bit more, so you're on the right track with what you're looking for.
I recommend using the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Bags # F35FV because the double convoluted bags are more resistant to rupturing, and they'll do a great job of fighting the sag you're getting while towing your toy hauler. These come with all of the mounting hardware and air lines needed to complete installation.
For the compressor system, the Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System for Air Helper Springs - Remote - Bluetooth - EZ Mount # AL74000EZ is what I recommend since it comes with an easy to read digital display and remote control. This system will allow you to inflate the bags individually up to 100psi and can also be controlled by your Bluetooth enabled smart phone.
I've linked some review videos of all of these parts, as well as some installation videos you can use as a guide but this would be my recommendations for a complete airbag system for your 2021 Ford F-250 Super Duty.
