Air Lift Question

How hard is it to install AIR LIFT bags with on board compressor and controls in the cab? Air Lift sells a kit to do it. I'm super handy, but don't like messing with anything that had to do.with electrical. Little help? Who's done it? Anyone want some drinks.... Lol

 

You'll find it easy. And with the DIY, you can customize the locations of schrader valves and the compressor.

 

I installed Air Lifts on my old 93 Dodge and my 2014 Tundra for a FWC Camper. I did not find the need for the compressor install. I had 20# on the Dodge. I will be getting the FWC Hawk camper the first week of July and expect to have between 10 and 20 lbs of air for it. There are plenty of good youtubes for the install. You do need a sawsall for the rubber Jounce Bumper.

Honestly I don't think you really need the compressor for the bags. If you have a need for in board air otherwise then it's worth it. I had bags on my Tacoma that I would inflate when needed, maybe once a month, and I used a bicycle pump. 10-20 quick pumps would add 10psi per bag. Super easy to add and remove air from the bags. Compressor is expensive, a pain to install, and one more thing that could go wrong.

 

Welcome. I had the air lift on my Tacoma with no on-board compressor. Wasn't that big of a deal. Still debating, but I think I'm a little more high maintenance then I was a few years back.
