Ended up connecting the 2 bags with a Tee and ran the one air line into the gas cap area. I like how it turned out. The plastic piece that should go there with the rubber seal will eventually be modified to go back in, but I can't see what the purpose of that piece is anyway.

Just need the weather to calm down a bit and I'll get it installed next couplle days. That should make it easier or more convenient for adjustments.
wise choice going with a compressor system

Our truck came with the airbag lines acting as the license plate attachment but really like the idea of adjusting from cab. I wonder if the horn compressor could be used for both...

Yes it can, I did it on my 01 F-350. I used the air horn air tank as well. Much slower than a "real" compressor, but it worked fine.
Bonus was the horn compressor fit under the hood.

Thanks! I've thought of rerouting them somewhere else because it's annoying if I load the camper without checking because the basement blocks them...

I had RideRite on my 2016 F250 crew cab and inflated to 20psi (empty). I’ve installed AirLift on my 2024 F250 crew cab. What psi are you using with AirLift? I regularly pull a 5th wheel.

I sold the truck with OBA, and have not got around to installing OBA on my 21, so these numbers are from my experience with my 01 SD
I have a 30’ bumper pull toyhauler. If I am bringing ATVs I ran about 30 psi in the bags. Without toys, about 40-50psi.
Best part of OBA is I can adjust on the fly and fine tune it as I go. My 01 was leveled and OBA and air bags always ensured my rig sat level, no matter the load!
