Ride Rite schrader valve location

I could afford it too, but I'm glad I didn't. My trailer is tounge heavy but not real heavy overall, so just keeping the bags at 8-10lbs is perfect and I can drive it all winter like that. So I would have spent all that money to air it up once a season. No thanks.

 

Same for me. I'm not hauling any really heavy loads. Mostly just tugging a 5x10 enclosed trailer around. When I decided to get air bags I spent weeks researching them and had a parts list that had far exceeded just the kit from Firestone. I was ready to upgrade my alternator, add a extra battery and do all sorts of custom mounting and what not while it was in the planning stage. I like to work on my truck but I do have a day job still so I cut it back to just what was really needed and got it installed.

 

Well I didn't like the gauges mounted inside that small storage box. I removed them for now and am looking for a better spot. I did find a place for the schrader valves. Here's a pic of the drivers side.

 

This is where I mounted the gauges. I tapped into the parking lights for illumination as I was already using that circuit for the cap's dome light. Used a two inch hole saw to cut into the bed. Now I can reach the inflation valves by just opening the rear window of the cap. At night the light from the gauges shines on the valves.
