Air Bag controller

Ive got my Viair installed and the Firestone Ride rites are on their way, What Im looking for is something to control the airbags other than
this..

Is there a remote option that wont have wires or tubing running into the cab? Kind of like the Air lift wireless but without the onboard compresser since I have the Viair.

Thanks everyone!!

You can use the AirLift kit. Just get a kit without a compressor and in the circuit replace the "compressor" with a "solenoid".

I use a 1/4" air horn solenoid to control my air bags for my hitch with the AirLift wireless.

Checkout AccuAir - Air Suspension
Their valve control system for air suspension is great!

Also, for custom ordering a kit without something like the compressor I typically suggest giving Michigan Truck Spring a call at 1-800-358-4751.

Another route you could consider going is using auxillary outputs on an aftermarket alarm to trigger a supply and dump valve. This gets quite a bit more complicated with wiring and potentially diodes. If you have an aftermarket alarm and would want to go this route shoot me a PM and I could put something together explaining it better.
