Simple, Cheap Airbag Compressor System

[Hein]

We have this system on our Titan pickup: Works great, has wireless remote with pressure read out and is bluetooth capable to connect to your phone. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FF84YZC


We have the Glide-Rite system on our Sprinter and the Glide-Rite compressor/tank and control system eventually failed from water in the system. Bad location under the rear of the van contributed to the failure. I have since installed a custom system with better under hood compressor location, moisture separator and under-vehicle tank. Even added a hose reel. More information and photos here: https://sprinter-source.com/forum/sh...=27822&page=94 Please continue reading the the next pages because I did end up moving the compressor to the final location under the hood. Best part of the system is the moisture separator which I empty manually from time to time. Moisture is slow death for mobile air systems.

All the best,
Hein

I clicked on the Walmart link for the TST 6 wheel sensors and the price came up as $363, not $36. Did you get some sort of deal on yours?

Sorry for the confusion on my part. $36 is the additional cost to get the 6 sensor kit ($363) versus the 4 sensor kit ($327).

That's another Airlift system that looks pretty good. That would be for single control, while the 72000 provides dual control for left-right independent control.

Your van system is neat too. I like the hose reel.

On stuff like controls, I usually tend to the KISS method if possible. No power used, no Bluetooth or wireless, so electric valves or blowoffs to leak or fail, no electronic pressure sensing, etc. As mentioned earlier, a single dual needle gauge with two fill/bleed paddle switches like this one from Airlift. Ours is Firestone, I think, but the same thing.

If you choose to it can be dash mounted, which I have seen fairly often, but we put ours in the rear of the driver side pod. Protected by convenient.
