Default Compressor kit?

Anyone running a compressor setup with the IHC bags? Curious what everyone went with.

I just had a 2/4 kit installed on my supercrew 2 wheel drive.
I considered an onboard compressor system but decided to buy a Viair88P compressor that I intend to keep under the rear seat.
I wanted the convenience of air on hand when I needed/wanted it but couldn't justify the cost of an onboard system.

yea, I'm torn between just a mini plug in compressor, or like the Air Lift 25980 kit. I like the idea of being able to bump in more air on demand if I need to, but it's another $200-$250 ($400 more if I want a constant pressure monitoring setup)

Not sure on board compressors get any easier than this. Cost a little bit of $$, worth it to me. I am planning on going with this and Bwoody bags this spring.

I installed that kit on my truck. Super easy. Then I got to the bags... I have the Slam-Air ready to go in, just need to find the time. This weekend wasn't it.

Which Slam-Air kit you running? Didn’t think they were for 2015-20’s.

I bought the one marketed for up to 2014 trucks. On Amazon, comments said "fits 2015/16, etc", so I figured I would buy it Prime. If the bracket won't fit, I'll send it back.

From what I can tell... The difference in frames comes down to the newer trucks using a better grade steel, and some steps you need to shim around. The comments mentioned shim differences.

Heading for a week long camping trip this weekend, hope when I get back, I have the time to get it together & post.

Honestly, had I known about the BWoody setup, I would have called them to check it out first, even though they say 2018 up.... But... I already have a 2WD kit that won't fit, and then this one... Which likely will fit with some massaging.

I'm in the process now of ordering the IHC helper bags and the Airlift 74000EZ Wireless compressor setup. I was told by IHC, that the Airlift compressor will work their setup.

That's the one I was looking at. Just got my truck dropped yesterday, but haven't added the on board compressor yet. Probably gonna get the 25980 or 74000.
