Which helper bags?

[TxFireman1972]

I need to get a set of helper bags ordered for my truck.

2005 F350 SRW 4x4
PMF Leaf spring hangers with 2011 leaf springs
Will be hauling a 300 gallon diesel tank in the bed

It's been a long time since I even looked at air bags. Have a few questions for those that are running them:

*Curious to know which setups people prefer?
*Compressor or no compressor?
*Auto leveling?

I'll be all over the country in all different kinds of weather. The diesel tank in the bed will be at different levels at all times, so I figured the ability to adjust using the compressor would be a big plus. With as much as the weight will vary, it may even be worth getting the auto-leveling setup. Any comments, suggestions, or recommendations would be great.

we have firestone bags on our construction truck.. they work great... for your setup i would recommend the auto leveling kit that way you dont have to do anything to it...

I have Firestone 5,000 lb bags and love them. No onboard air. I just carry a small air tank with me when I know I'm gonna tow.

Anyone else have any recommendations? Lots of options out there. Curious what a good compressor would be if I want to be able to supply a tank and power small air tools.

OK, I found a deal on a Ride Rite kit (#2452) and snagged it:

So now I'm looking for a compressor setup. I found this one, any opinions?
