The air compressor in that spot is genius. Alot of people from sask and alberta spend alot of time out of the cities for either work or play. And having a quick tire plug kit and an air compressor is just about a must.

I installed air springs in my truck yesterday, and was just considering adding a way to tap into the compressor for random air fill needs. I hadn't considered putting a shut off valve between the bags and the manifold. Which would have limited the amount of pressure I could pump, as the 1000HD kit I used is limited to 50psi. Thanks to your video, I'll be able to build it out to use the full range the compressor is capable of. One thing I did think about is a locking air chuck. To be able to attach the hose, dial up the pressure, and let the compressor do it's thing while I go finish my coffee.

I have a video I will be making soon adding something

[@Donslife]

One day I could add a small tank, but for now this is how I am running it 😀

[@charlesyoungblood7561]

Great video and a Great idea. I go to the beach a good bit so being able to fill stuff for the kids would be wonderful. I will probably attach mine where I have instant access without opening the hood. Oh! I already have the air bags installed and I put my Schrader valve right next to the license plate for quick access.

[@Donslife]

Thank you for watching the video!

[@jimmynadeau4667]

Exactly - just connect to that and run the compressor.

I'm curious to know how durable those black lines will hold up in extreme cold/hot weather. Overall, awesome upgrades.

[@Donslife]

3 years later. No leaks or problems with these lines

[@MichaelFilby]

Great Video Don! I have a 3.0 Duramax so I could not fit the compressor in the fender well. So I ended up putting it in the bed of the truck under the rail lip. Next is to add an air hose connection. I did not see a part number for the plastic air hose fitting into the manifold. The small one for the black hose. Thanks!

[@Donslife]

Thanks man. I had some parts lying around and went to a local supply store and bought various fittings for air line systems. Sorry I don’t have a part number for you

[@tweeeder]

I have the 3.0 and had no problem fitting it in the same spot as don. 11:08

[@bofa83]

That’s super slick. Great idea.

[@Donslife]

Glad you like it! Pretty much light duty only, but it could pay off in an emergency!

[@Senerian]

This is a really great Idea. Thank you.

[@Donslife]

Glad it was helpful!

[@dfox7777]

Don you already committed it, but a small 2-gallon tank would be an awesome addition.

[@jpt8011]

Hi Don, great video. My question is how is the system holding up after 2 years? Maybe a product updates video. Each upgrade you did over the years and how its holding up. 30 seconds per update, give a thumbs up or down, or rate it out of 10?

[@Donslife]

Great idea 💡. As for your question. Held up 100% but I just took it out 2 months ago since I never used it and wanted to reclaim the room. Without a dedicated tank, it took a long time to fill a tire. A portable compressor is just easier.

[@samcrews3407]

Random question, how do you like your exhaust? It sounds great objectively, but I’m wondering if it is sometimes too loud. Like if you have to start it up at 6 am do you feel bad for you neighbors or not 😂😂. Thanks!

[@Donslife]

I really like it but YES, I would feel bad performing a cold start at 6am. Overall I don't think it is too loud, but you need to be a fan of this kind of thing or you'd be better off with a Touring version.

[@alexmotorlife]

Hi Don, i'm loving every video. Looking to get the air lift system exactly like you installed - Bags, compressor and on-board air manifold. Shopping to get the best price right now. Cheers from Ontario

[@Donslife]

That’s cool. I wanted it because when I tow 6000-7000 lbs it is much more stable and safer

[@Donslife]

I really appreciate you watching and liking the videos

[@christopherblust3930]

at 10:58 of the video, what is the 90 degree metal bracket you used to attached the manifold block/airline hose connector? where did you get it, something homemade? and what type of screw/bolt did you use?

[@Donslife]

I bought an ‘L’ shaped bracket and used a step drill bit to make a hole for the connector to fit through

[@christopherblust3930]

@@Donslife Awesome - went to Lowes and did the same thing. Drilled a 1/2" hole for the air hose adapter and used a couple of self-tape screws to screw down the L bracket. love the setup and instant air anywhere I go - travel trailer, utility trailer, KRK1000, truck...

[@ZampostOk]

Hey can the compressor overheat? I usually inflate 4 tires from 10psi - to -45psi

[@Donslife]

It will be slow going though. I would consider adding an auxiliary tank if you need to do this often

[@rodolfososa8856]

Do you think it’s worth getting a 2020 GMC Sierra elevation 1500 right now all black x31 package for 48000?

[@Donslife]

In the US or Canada? If the truck has everything you want and the mileage is low enough it might be reasonable. Seems a little high if thats US prices. Right now used vehicles are inflated but not much you can do

[@billymccall5804]

Where did you get the manifold and shut off valve

[@Donslife]

I bought my items locally, but I put links from similar items on Amazon.com for you (and in the video description) 1/4" NPT Manifold : amzn.to/3mBoZtT 1/4" to 1/4" Pneumatic Air Flow Valve : amzn.to/3lmKqiR 1/4" 25ft coil air hose : amzn.to/3v0GBDo 1/4" M-Style Red Air Coupler set : amzn.to/30d9uAQ

@@Donslife thanks bro! Just installed the air lift system a month ago. This will be a great addition. Appreciate your content

Thanks Billy! I really appreciate the feedback!
