One of the first mods I have planned for my '25 F350 is to add air lift air bags. I have them on my current truck and love them. Last time, I used an air lift all in one wireless kit that included an air compressor. This time I am planning to install an onboard air system for other accessories and would like to use it to also fill the air bags automatically.

Air Lift sells a wireless kit, but it appears they only sell it with the compressor. You can buy the controller and remote as a replacement part, but they cost just as much as the entire kit. Does anyone sell a wireless airbag controller that does not include the compressor?

 

I believe PacBrake sells a controller for use with your onboard air. Check them out.

 

Thanks, that looks like a nice unit. Unfortunately, their controller costs about as much as the air lift controller kit with the compressor. The Pacbfake version requires you to use your phone to control it. If you want a wireless remote, it is almost $800. I do adjust my air suspension between when i am towing and when I am not, but that is a pretty hefty price tag for the convenience of automation.

 

I can't speak highly enough about the Pacbrake controller. I also have the Dirt Logic dual arb compressor setup and full travel airbags. It may be more expensive, but in my opinion, its absolutely worth it.

 

Thanks for the feedback. Do you have a single path line controller or the dual line controller? Also do you have their remote control, or do you just use your phone? Their remote looks like an old iPhone. While the touch screen may look nice, I am worried that it will have to be re-charged constantly. I like the idea of having a remote I can leave in the truck, but it isn't very useful if I have to constantly charge it.

 

I just use the mobile app.

 

I think I am going to do the same thing. I sent PacBrake a note and they said the remote battery will last about 2 days and will take 7 hours to recharge. Not worth $200. I have my phone with me 99% of the time, so I will just use that.

I am a gadget person, but there is no reason to make things overly complicated for no reason. The AirLift suspension on my RAM truck has a small remote that clips to the visor with a simple LCD screen. I haven't changed the batteries in years and it is easily accessible when needed. No fancy touchscreen needed. With my luck, I would drop the touch screen remote and crack the screen and need to pay $200 for a replacement.

 

having had the pac brake compressor and bt remote through my phone i can tell u its the biggest pc of junk. Fist the app is junk, had to install both versions as one or the other refused to connect at times. They sent new controller but thst did not help. The first year the wires in the water proof relay rotted out. The bags would never hold air come to find out the solenoid was leaking out and had to install a valve, by this time I had had enough of their system. Will never purchase it again
