    The compressor that comes with most airbag systems would take a mighty long time to fill a tire and probably wouldn't run air tools. For that, you'll also need a tank.

    I have a 2" kit in the front which sits perfect when the bed is empty. But once I load up my tools for my weekend warrior work, the back end is a little lower that the front. Pop in a few pounds of air and walaa....back level again. BTW, I bought the "T" kit for like 10 more bucks which allows for a single valve and inflates both bags simultaneously. I can actually use a bicycle pump to do it. These things are awesome.

    Weathertech front floor liners, window vent visors. Custom bedside decals. OEM bed mat, tonneau covrew. Added D rings to bed.
    My bed is typically empty. I was going to put the airbags on to help with the sag when it's loaded. Do you still recommend upgrading the shocks. I was actually thinking of doing some 5100's set at 0' anyway. my shocks has about 90k on them.

    .
    Most definitely, the old shocks are worn out by 90k, only the front struts are adjustable, setting them at 0 won't lift it past stock and with the new shocks the ride will be much better. With the bags unloaded, you will probably find that 8-10 pounds and you won't really notice they are there, anymore than that and it stiffens up the rear in a hurry the higher you go. The day I installed mine i had no idea where to set them so i had some tools in the back (not a whole bunch of weight), so I put 60lbs in each, i went over some speed bumps and my ass end bounced into the air, I heard all my tools fly up and crash down on the bed! I also noticed that the truck can corner better with some air in the bags as well.

    Good place to find airline fittings is a local semi truck repair shop. They have hundreds, if not thousands of fittings.
