I had these bags on my 2016 F250 with no compressor. I am (was) worried about installing them on my 2018 Ram 2500 because I wasn't sure how to do the compressor. Well, you solved that issue. In my Ford, I had my Schrader valve set up the same as yours. That's a good idea to do it again as a backup. You just saved me a couple hundred bucks! Thank you!
Joe - I just got a 2010 Ram 3500 Long Bed Diesel with no bags or compressor. Bought the same setup you got and was looking for a simple, regular Joe install video. Yours was super helpful, so thanks for taking the time! Cheers, Steve
Great video, so do your bag ever leak I had the firestone bags on my 2017 2500 with the remote and I traded it in for a 2018 3500 also and I'm thinking about putting on the air lift bags on to tow my 5th wheel?
Just installed these on my 1/2 ton and looking at getting the compressor next, had a question on how you plumbed the compressor and the Schrader valve together in case the compressor fails
I think so. If you ever tear a bag it is a stop on it. When not towing I run 5 pounds and that’s like stock riding. Towing I run 35. All is great so far. Love the on board Compressor
Yes just to take sag out. Bring back to level. I like it when hauling at night. Lights go back to normal and others don’t flash there brights thinking mine are on cause there higher up.
@@joestephan82 thank you! I was debating about an inside mounting but heard the compressor was loud. I'm in PA but fortunately I don't drive this truck in winter but glad to hear it's working well!
@@michaelmascarello7025 it’s not horribly loud. But only runs a short time. Maybe 30 seconds to put bags to 40psi. Then really doesn’t come on unless I change the psi
I hope you have better luck than me. Compressor runs every 80 seconds at 5 psi. And at 80psi it runs every 10 minutes. Air lift says I have a leak. I have replaced all lines and fittings. New controller new bags compressor is being shipped out today. I have spent at least 10 hours soaping fittings to find nothing. And I know how to chase leaks as I did it for a living with gases for 40 years. I also have new T's on the way to replace them again. It will air down from 80 psi to 0 in 2 days. I am about to take this system off my truck and throw it in the garbage. I like the way it changed the ride when towing but the compressor running all the time is unacceptable
Man I wonder what is wrong. Mine only runs when I change the pressures And will hold psi for ever. Have to taken the compressor off and just pump it up I would say soap and water on all the stuff but sounds like you did. The bags shouldn’t loss psi Keep me updated. I’ve been running mine for almost 3 years with zero issues. I know a buddy didn’t cut his line square before putting into fitting and his had small leak. But when we found that he’s had no issues also. Hope ya figure it out. It’s a great system
@@joestephan82 I have gone as far as removing the bags them inflating them to 80 psi and putting them in water for hours weighted down fully submerced and no bubbles. Totally frustrated. I did not get the easy mount system and the only thing I see different is the line on the easy mount you used from the compressor to the manifold is a nut fitting crimped line. Mine uses 1/4 plastic from the compressor to the manifold and the brass barbed fitting coming off the compressor gets very hot when running, which I would think would make the plastic line pliable making it prone to leaking but I can't get it to bubble there even.
