Onboard air + Airbags

[Millertime1977]

Np, The onboard air is what I was talking about when I said quick connects in the bumper. They were fed from the smaller tank that was at lower pressure. No reason to have 175 psi to them. That's to much for most tools, even tire inflaters. On my truck now I have a similar setup, But I run both tanks at 175. I just have the pressure regulator on the output that goes to the air couplers in the bumper. It basically works the same way. Just instead of the pressure regulator between the tanks. The tanks are just connected with a 1/2" airline and the regulator is between the tank and the couplers. The main upside to this is you have more air capacity with both tanks at the higher pressure. I actually had to do it this way on my HD because there was no good spot to mount both compressors together and connect them to one tank. So now I have one tank and one compressor on each side and a single line between the tanks.

Thanks for the write up! I totally need to do this on my truck.

To use the standard bags, are yall using the ones without the internal bumpstop? I would think that would be a better choice.

I don't on my 2500HD. There isn't a lot of clearance between frame and axle. If you want to retain the quality factory ride provided by the DSSV suspension, then i would not run them. I've towed 13k with my 2500HD and the bags have plenty of support on their own. You won't ever tow that much with a 1500.
