Default Auxiliary Air line off of air suspension system?

Has anyone looked into a way to run an air line off of the factory air suspension system? Not really for using regularly but more for if you need to inflate a tire. It seems like everything is there for it to work but I might be missing something. I'm asking for my dad who has a 2014 Ram 2500 with the load leveling factory air suspension on the back axle.

Thanks!

i don't think the compressor would be big enough to supply enough air... and the only way the compressor would kick on is if the suspension reaches a level that would require more air to level the truck.. not sure how you would turn the compressor on and off ... plus it would most likely void the warrenty

My understanding is that it is a closed nitrogen system.

You should be able to tap a T with check valve.Simple task.

Has anyone added an auxiliary line to their factory air suspension tank? It sounds like the compressor is always keeping this tank charged. Can anybody confirm that adding a check valve and "T" will work?
