Installer Today on a 2004 Ford F250 Super Duty, we're gonna show you the Firestone Level Command II, part number F2158. First off, this will allow you to control the air pressure levels from the vehicle cab. It operates the bags with a single switch. Now this system is designed to level one pair of air springs equally on each side. And this kit comes with everything you need to control the air springs. And the air compressor is actually rated for 130 pounds max PSI.

First up, let's go ahead and find location for our compressor. We're back here underneath the truck on the driver's side frame rail and behind basically the transfer case, we're forward drive system. We'll go ahead and mount to the frame right here. We'll go ahead and mark the holes using the small drill bit. (drill grinding) And this compressor has four mounting holes.

(drill grinding) One thing in note, now we actually changed our drill bit up to a 3/16. Gives a little extra wiggle room to install the hardware. Now we're gonna use the supplied hardware, which will be these small Phillips head bolts. I'm just gonna simply run 'em from the outside to the inside. Take the compressor, go ahead and put it into place.

On the outside we'll get a flat washer and then the lock nut. This will repeat on all four contact points. And now if you mount this to a thinner piece of sheet metal instead of the frame, it does come with extra washer to put behind the head of the bolt as well. Now we're gonna leave these loose so we can maneuver the rest our hardware in place. Okay, now once we have all our hardware loosely installed, we'll go ahead and tighten it down using the Phillips screwdriver and a 3/8 eights deep well socket.

Now when we tighten these down, we just wanna make them smug. We don't wanna crush 'em. Now while we're here, let's go ahead and ground our compressor, black wire with the ring terminal. We'll attach to the body right here. It's the hollow section of the body work so it won't go through to the inside. (drill grinding) Okay, now let's go ahead work our wire harness. This is our relay right here, and we'll go ahead and attach it right next to our ground and make our initial wire connection. I'm gonna use the same self-tapping screw as before. It's number 10 screw that uses a 5/16 nut driver. Our orange wire on this harness right here, we'll connect up to the red wire on our compressor. We'll simply push the two together and I'd like to add some electrical tape to it as well. All right, now let's go ahead and take a moment and zip tie our wires. I'm basically gonna fold over my orange and red wire together and I'll attach to the factory wire harness using the supplied zip ties. Cut off our excess. Then we need to route these up towards the entry compartment. The red wire especially needs to go to the battery. So to help us do that, we're gonna drop a pull wire from the top towards the bottom. So basically we're gonna run these two wires up following the factory wire harness. Okay, and we'll go ahead and zip tie those in a few locations as well. Let's try to make sure we stay away from anything that's hot and or moving. Now what we're using for pull wire is actually an old piece of airline tubing, but this also could be any piece of wire or any material that you could run down here and holds its shape so you can guide it towards the bottom. Basically, it's gonna stay close to the firewall here and away from the engine as far as possible. Here's our piece of airline tubing and the wires need to bring up, we'll just wrap them together and run 'em back up towards the top. Make sure you pull up all our excess wire. I think we'll zip tie at the top here to help keep it secure. All right, now let's continue to work our wires. We're just gonna go ahead and just separate 'em out. The red wire's gonna run straight to our battery and our white wire eventually goes to the inside. So let's just bundle this up. Just get it outta the way for now. Now our fuse holder here has a short in and that's going to get a ring terminal and attach to the positive side of the battery. We'll pull up the cover here, we'll attach to this post right here. Let's go ahead and strip our wire back and add a blue ring terminal
