Default Switch for Air bag leveling kit

Ok i'm putting in air bag system for when I pull the camper and load up the sled.

My question is, is there a switch that I can put in by my heated seats switch (there is 2 empty spots). Have tried searching but couldn't find anything. From what I read it has to be a momentary switch. Just wondering if Dodge or Mopar makes one that i could use to control my compressor?

I have a 2004 Ram Quad Cab with the 5.7 if that helps.

I was always kinda intrigued by this wireless setup:

Course, I don't use mine often enough to justify an on-board compressor, I just use the poor man's method...

where did you get the fitting to run a T in the air lines. I hate trying to equalize both sides.

u can get a t at any transport shop, you really dont want to run a t tho because it really is pointless when turning, it transfer air from one bag to the other which will give you alot of roll. But the best thing you could do is buy a air chuck with a built in guage to fill them individually. Or run a tee off the bags and run two lines one to dump and one with a check valve to the other bag with the same setup. So that way you have a main line that will alow air to go into both bags with the same psi , but the check valves will not allow the air to transfer when turning and then the other two lines will allow u to dump the air out of the bags.

Came in the Air Lift kit. Had everything I needed to run a manual fill system...
