You also don't HAVE to run a compressor. On my earlier trucks, I had them plumbed to a schraeder valve (valve stem) that replaced the upper rear license plate bolts. Once you know what pressure works best to level your truck for towing (and handling), just fill them back up to that pressure when you are about to tow. Deflate to spec when not towing.
The AirLift Ultimate are nice because you can just deflate to 0 lbs., easy peasy, as the internal jounce bumper keeps the bags from getting damaged when empty. All the other bags you have to leave a minimum of 5 lbs. in them, I ALWAYS kept around 20-30 lbs in my bags even empty to help with anti-sway control.

I had bags on a lowered truck in the 90's, the air fill valve was inside the gas door. Clean install out of view.
and we need more pics of the Lincoln!
That thing looks clean, love the plate!
