Airbags installation

I installed Air Lift's air spring and compressor system before heading out to with the 5th wheel. Installation was pretty straightforward. I also used an upfitter switch for the first time on the 2017. That was a piece of cake.

For any who are interested, here's the little project.

Almost looks like enough room for a small tank above the spare also. I need to ask my dealer for a replacement lock in the bumper, mine has fallen out, I guess it wasnt locked when originally installed.

This is encouraging - I'd like to install an air tank for tire fills but I wonder how long it will take an onboard air system to fill up these tires (I'd like to air down for off roading and air back up from the onboard air system).

Great job on the video! How has the airbags affected your ride quality when empty and the psi lowered?

Still considering air bags, just to level my trailer, I cant get a hitch adjusted to levle it properly, since it has torsion axles it is supposed to be as level as possible.
