air lift rear ride control installation.

[timdan94]

I purchased an air lift rear ride control system with compressor and had a few questions:

I bought the compressor so do I need to add the manual inflation valves? if so where do I mount them?

where can I get the back light power for the gauge? is it ok to take it from the trailer brake controller harness?

Where is a good place to mount the control panel?

where is there an open hole in the firewall to send power and the air line through?

thanks,

Dan

 

 

 

Edit: I forgot to add the truck is a 2011 silverado 1500 extended cab short bed

i would recommend still installing the manual inflation valves, that way if something goes wrong you have a back up. you can tap into a marker light for the illumination or an ignition wire or accessory, however you would like for it to work. typically the guage gets mounted down to the lower dash, unfortunatly theres not alot of places to mount those which is why most people get the wireless one,

well the bags went in today and the compressor will go in tomorrow. The installation was pretty easy all except getting a bolt inside the frame rail. I ended up making a fish wire by wrapping picture wire around the threads and pulling it through the frame. The first one took a while but the second one went in very easitly.
