air compressor help
Hey all....I spend most of my time in the 1999-2003 power stroke section and have a question that might be better answered here. I recently purchased firestone air bags for the rear of my truck and am now looking for a compressor to keep them filled with and am also looking for auxillary air for bike tires and what not. I have been looking at the firestone 2239 does anyone have any experience with that one, or have other suggestions as to what to use. Any guidance will be greatly appreciated........thank you........Kevin

Haven't got them yet - future mod. But here are some of the systems I've found:
Remote Air Systems, Heavy Duty Air Suspension Kits, Wireless Air, Automatic Compressor Kits

I use a Viair 360C compressor. 100% duty rated at 200psi. They can be had off Ebay for $125-$150.
Installed it under the passenger side cab, outside the frame. 5Gal storage tank with 150# switch (shut pump off at 150psi turns it on at 120psi), mounts under the bed, outside the frame, just ahead of the right rear fender well.
I mounted a couple of air line quick disconnects. I carry a cheap tight coil air line under the back seat. I use it for my air bags, truck & trailer tires and my train horns ;-) I've had this system installed over 2 years with no problems.
Good luck

Thanks for the input guys...I was really at a loss on what to do. The 2239 from firestone was the only thing I was able to come up with so far. Now all I have to do is get one ordered and paid for before the wie knows anything about it.

It's more work, but could be cheaper and more versatile: install a York A/C compressor under the hood. It should be enough air to even run some real air tools. Do a search for "on board air" and some pages will come up; it's a popular project for 4-wheelers.
