It would be nice if auto seats came out as easy as small aircraft seats. Now if we are talking cockpit seats on a jet or aircraft with a partition i try to avoid those lol Or ejection seats to many hrs straddling a rocket is just unnerving.

yup small corporate jets Beechjet and Premier. I always took out the partitions and seats so i could lay in there with hy head between the rudder pedals when there was room.

For the short pass through wires, it took me less than a minute for each one to strip and splice.

This is a great question and one that I answered a few years ago. I timed how long it would take a single 100% duty cycle Viair compressor to air up the 35 inch Toyo MTs. Here it is:

The supplied wire was just long enough to make it from that far back location along the existing wiring harness on the driver side frame and up to the upfitter and battery. 2 inches shorter and the ground wire wouldn't have been long enough. Said another way, a long bed would require splicing an extension on the supplied power and ground wires.
All the expected places sell the system. Amazon, SD Truck Springs, Summit Racing, 4 Wheel Parts, etc. Google it and the shopping tool will return plenty of options to do some price shopping.

That's cool (thanks) but those are most likely much lower PSI than the tires on the Super Duty trucks. THAT'S what I'm wondering about - can the Viair and other compressors handle the higher PSI's and how long will they take? And has anyone set up an onboard air system (with a tank) on a Super Duty?

Indeed a great video and explanation. One habit I've gotten into is to always use "never seize" on every threaded connection I put together or take apart and then re-assemble. I tend to keep my equipment for a long time and it makes future disassembly/repairs far easier, especially if you live where there is continual dampness or winter salt to deal with.
Although it's a little more difficult, I also solder every electrical connection. Crimp connectors work, but I never worry about a soldered connection coming apart or losing continuity.
Again, great write up!

Installed my Air Lift 5000 Ultimate Plus yesterday. Took me a little bit longer than others, but got it done. My only concern was where the long vertical carriage bolt comes down on the rear of the axle, passenger side. I found that this bolt had to be placed between the axle and the hard brake line. I had to pull the brake line out of one of the rubber keepers on the axle and because of where the bolt is located, could not put it back into the rubber keeper at that point. Guess it will just have to ride "loose" outside the keeper.... unless you guys came up with a better way...
