Air lift wireless one and Firestone riderite airbags.
Bought this kit off another member here! Thanks to his ingenuity the compressor, manifold and relay was super easy to install and hook up!
He made a tray that mounts the compressor, manifold and relay. This tray is designed to mount on the bottom of the bed between two from supports, a few self tappers and it's mounted. The wiring was easy on my truck as on my 10 I just tapped into the 7 wire keyed wire by trailer hitch. I verified that it's only hot with key. Supposedly on the newer ones this may not be the case.
This is the wireless system so it has a remote in the cab that communicates with the manifold. No problems communicating while going down the road or from outside of truck. It's a really slick system.
Air bags are nice and well built. The mounting of them is stout.
I wanted the system to prevent my leveled truck from going nose high when hauling or towing but just got back from a ride unloaded and at 20 psi in bags the ride is soooooo much better than just stock leafs. I have Bilstein shocks and that helped a lot but the bags add such a more solid ride but it's still smooth!
Well worth it if you're on the fence, I wish I wouldn't have waited as long!

I have Airlift 5000 bags with the Airlift wireless one compressor. Very happy with both after towing a 17' and 12' trailer 2,000 miles in the last 2 months. The remote made it so easy to adjust the air for load.

Any more details on the mounting tray? Are these available for purchase by the general public? I've been debating an airbag with on-board air setup but can't land on a good mounting strategy for the compressor.
