Air Lift is the only one I've seen with the internal jounce bumper option. I'll probably run the shrader(s) to the license plate mounting holes. Easy access and no new holes needed. I added helper bags to my wife's Tahoe and T'd them together. I only used it for one trip towing, but didn't notice issues having them connected. I may try that again this time while being prepared to separate them if I notice any issues from cornering or weight transfer. Could even use a single fill port and a ball valve to isolate them once filled but that seems unnecessarily complex. I've got a Viair compressor I've had sitting new in box for a decade. It fits perfect in the unused battery tray on the driver side of my truck. I think I'll make a quick-remove tray with handle to hold that and a 1/2 gallon air tank. Gotta check the current capacity of the hitch wiring, and if high enough I'll have it set up to plug into that for power at the rear of the truck. Yes, I realize I could just run an air hose from the tank permanently mounted in the engine compartment, but what fun is that? Having the compressor on hand will be nice for not having to leave bags full after arrival on long camping trips, filling tires, beach toys, etc. |

Totally different setup than the ones I've been looking at. That's the lighter duty version that mounts outboard, I'm looking at the heavier duty ones that mount slightly inboard. Obviously stability is improved on the outboard ones, but I'm not too worried about it since it's already going to be overkill.
