Putting Airlift bags in the back to help with towing squat. We got the bags in no problem (if you use a spring compressor you can take the springs out without any bolt pulling whatsoever). Im thinking about making the bags single circuit so I ran the right bags airline through a bed cross member to the left side and from there will tee them together then carry on with one hose to the front.
My deal is where are people are putting the compressor and the gauge pod?
Im thinking about putting it in my center console (the lower section) and the compressor under the hood up high as no elements will harm it. Anyone done this or have pics?

i think running the hoses in series is a bad idea .. when you take turns, the air will travel from one airbag to the other .. defeating the purpose of the air bags .. you will get excess sway to one side or the other depending on which way you turn ... i have had friends with lowriders with airbags in the vehicle make this mistake and they quickly corrected it .. i strongly suggest you change the set up and if you have to purchase a manifold and a seperate pressure guage for each bag...
That is actually the way that they recommend installing it. There is a big difference between a mini-truck running air springs and a full sized pickup running bags as overloads. http://airlift.iwebcat.com/imgVD/AIL/MN-333_25592.pdf

When you get these done can you please post pix? I'd like to install the bags, but I'll be tied up for the rest of the summer as I just had shoulder surgery.

Just reading the PDF, on the last page:
8. It may be necessary to maintain different pressures on each side of the vehicle. Loads such as water, fuel,
and appliances will cause the vehicle to be heavier on one side (fig. 5). As much as a 50 PSI difference is not uncommon.
This really seems to indicate a manifold, rather than the simpler configuration shown on page 1.
Hmmm...

True, but they are describing sloshing loads. Anyone who has ever driven a tanker would understand why they make that statement. The appliance comment is odd, why would you load to one side?
See now my tech said the same thing (run two circuits) but the recommended kit was this single (the one I bought) airlift does make a dual but dual plumbing required. Im not trying to make a Mexican jumping bean I just want some airbag boost to the load levelers I already got.
I'll send pictures of the setup once completed and if it doesn't co-operate this coming week for my long haul trip I'll change the setup to dual (hopefully not).
