Publisher Tim Esterdahl reached out to Firestone to get a kit with the Air Command compressor and computer as well. Watch [this video]() as he walks you through the install, how it works, price and towing experience with the Firestone air bag system. ## Like SleepNumber for pickup trucks While you can get an airbag setup that you air up manually with your own compressor, Esterdahl opted to upgrade to an on-board compressor and computer, which can handle this automatically. When Esterdahl opened his Firestone app to raise and lower his truck with his phone, I couldn’t help but be reminded of my SleepNumber bed. And while that may seem silly, an [air ride suspension enhancement system]() is doing the same thing, but for ride quality while towing heavy loads. Paired with his [Weigh-Safe hitch setup]() Esterdahl’s truck is going to be a towing boss. Added bonus: The on-board compressor comes with an auxiliary outlet and hose so you can use the compressor to air up bike tires, floats for the lake and more. ## Firestone Ride-Rite air bag and compressor install video It looks like the cost for a setup like this is about $1,500 for the [airbag kit and compressor kit combined](). This does not include labor for install, but that isn’t too difficult and depending on your experience and how closely you watch [this install video]() you may be able to install this kit yourself.
