On Board Air Help

I currently have the WirelessOne air compressor from an airbag setup I had on my other truck. I don't plan to put airbags on this 2022 F250 SRL Shortbed. However, I would like to use the compressor to feed a 2.5 Gal tank I can put underneath the bed and use for OBA.

What all would I need to make that compressor work with the Viair 2.5 tank. I would like to run lines to the rear bumper and front bumper with quick connects.
Here's the compressor I have: https://www.airliftcompany.com/produ...r7qErpPsiefx3x

Thanks in advance for your time!

That compressor is so small, I doubt you would find it useful. I looked at pulling the compressor out of my F250 when I sold it and decided it would be better, if I really wanted it, to buy a bigger compressor

As I recall the air bag compressors have selectable air pressure so you don't need a switch. Just plumb the tank into the compressor and it won't know the difference. Also plumb in a quick diconnect for the hose. It should be absolutely simple to do. I use a Campbell Hausefield $30 compressor from Walmart, a regulator and a 1 gal tank from a Mercedes and it works fine when I need it. I also have air bags.
