    I ended up using the ARB Dual with Tank (link) for my front locker and Air Chuck, and a second compressor
    $745 Air Lift 72000 Wireless Air Leveling Compressor
    Air Lift system for my bags (yet to install)

    The same shit everyone else has.
    Funny you posted this. I came in here to ask if anyone is running some kinda monitoring system...

    I was kicking around the idea of adding some kinda gauge.

    I’ve used the Viair dual needle gauges and the Dakota Digitsl air pressure gauges in cars I’ve bagged before. Both worked well but I love the idea of using the wireless TPMS stuff due the simplicity.

    I just played with it again. I really like it. Going to keep it. Now I need a compressor for only filling 33 inch tires at the most. Hopefully something I can fit in that little cubby hole in the bed and plug into the power supply my new truck has. I have some researching or going to phone support at auto anything.
    I was thinking something like this.

    I've been running the airlift wireless compressor for my Firestone bags for a couple years now, they work great. Especially helpful for balancing load handling out side to side.

    I use a slee mount in my engine bay for my arb compressor, however for cubby mounted options expedition essentials makes them. Current GB for them too (personally I think the cubby mount by EE is overpriced).

    Good luck!

    Just a heads up to those considering Firestone Ride Rites. Torque TR2407 is the same thing as Firestone Ride Rites 2407 but about $100 cheaper.

    Apparently Torque purchased the design so they could use it.

    I have these. They are thicker rubber and work great!


    Here is my compressor install, by the way:

    I'd still like to put a 12v pneumatic valve that will allow the air to cycle between the bags...

    I got them on Ebay for a good price,$269. Free Shipping

    The Ride Rites seem to be $360ish

    Ultimately, it came down to availability and could ship it out quickly.

    My only point is the price isn't that far apart.

    "quality can even be considered superior due to the thickness of the bags themselves"

    I got mine for $269 from Ebay too: Link

    damn, that looks nice! I want to do on board air and tank with wireless leveling valve. My truck always ends up leaning to one side over time. Have sprayed the fittings but can’t find a leak and it’s a very slow loss

    I've come across an interesting video about the difference between airbags and weight distribution hitch for towing. The hitch is still a better option. I think the combination may be the best. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBZu39pQ8Gg

    Dialed her in with the 3” extension bracket after the initial install... Feeing confidant in everything now. Took the chop / 3 hole route on the extensions. Stoked!

    lnstalled my Firestone Ride Rite airbags today with the Daystar cradles. Took me all day with no air tools, no lift, and a bad bolt from the kit. 68 years old and rolling on the garage floor was not that great. Instead of lifting from under the axles, works a lot better with a frame lift. Gives you a lot more room to fit the assembles in. Had to weld brackets to the bottom bracket the take up the 3/8 inch that it was short of touching the axle. Once assembled, works just as advertised. Routed my air lines to the fill valves that I mounted in the bottom holes of my license plate. Barely noticable. Overall, very happy with my airbags. A little more work than I thought, but worth it. Getting my 19 foot travel trailer in a few days and can't wait.
