I can fill tires, no tank, just the wireless compressor.

Installed Tee's in each air line and installed 2 schrader valves just under the 5th wheel elec connector plug. Then you carry your air line with a lock down (on schrader) end. Works great! You set the controller to 65psi (i.e.) and lock that baby on to a tire and you'll get just that in the tire after equalization. No need to gauge it either if you wait for the equalization.

This came in handy when I had two slow leaky valve stems. Since been fixed under warranty.

Are you talking about the schrader valves that came with the bags? If so I installed mine in the bottom holes of the license plate. Was a tight fit length wise (had to remove my plate cover).

Thanks, That’s a great idea. I hadn’t considered that. It certainly is easy and less exspensive too.

Yeah I had enough left over line to make it to the trailer outlet in the bed. I'll try to take a picture with my line and snap down adapter, and post it up tomorrow.

Hi guys,
I know this is a super old thread but I have an issue that's been bugging me for a couple years now.
I installed these bags (88340) in the rear on my 2005 6.0. I have stock, original springs in the rear. The issue I have is there is very little travel allowed over bumps and such and at 5 PSI I frequently hit the internal jounce. I have to put 40+ PSI in the bags to get any sort of doable ride quality.
Is the issue that I'm running springs that are saggy and provide no lift? My install looks like the picture at the start of the thread.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Sorry, disregard. I posted in the wrong thread.
