Air Lift 5000 kit 57398

I have purchased the new and improved no drilling neccesary kit from Air Lift for my 2005 F250 SRW 4x4. I have looked through the instructions many times and plan to tackle this project this weekend. Says install in 2hrs I am giving myself 2 days just in case!! Has anyone installed this system? I am looking for tips and tricks if anyone has some. I am not installing a compressor at this point, does anyone have suggestions on air fill locations? I appreciate everyones help and I will provide feedback once I am finished! Thanks

I had the 5th wheel kit 57396 installed last week...

this supposed experienced installer took 6 hours to do it !!!!
and destroyed the instruction manual while reading it under the truck ...

they put the air valves in the lip under the tailgate and as soon as I saw that told them that was ridiculous !!!
and told them to put it on either side of the license plate so I can put my
Amazon.com: Factory-Reconditioned Ryobi ZRYN500A 12V Cordless Inflator with Power Supply and Worklight: Home Improvement
on the bumper and pump it up....
got two air gauges:
one a low pressure from 1 to 15 lbs for when I deflate as my higher pressure one is not sensitive enough to tell the difference between 5 and zero lbs !!!!

I installed these with no issues, but I have a few minor adjustments to make. It took me about 3 hrs to complete the job and they went on with ease. No air compressor at this time. I am not the best wrench so if I can do it so can YOU!!
