I ran a T on mine. I tow 6-7k# everyday. I ran my valve inside my gas fill area

I like that spot, totally inconspicuous.

I like independent air lines (two valves). I can inflate them with a bicycle pump fairly easily. Valves in the top two license plate holes.

That's how I did mine no regrets

will be doing a lot of towing this year, got a new camper and really looking forward to it... was thinking of the 1000HD also, but just because I like toys, did anyone install the onboard compressor with them?, or would it be a total waste since most stated they could change the PSI in a couple of pumps of a bike pump

On my Air Lift 1000's I went more custom. I used push-to-connect fittings for the T which also allowed me to push on valves and a gauge as well as dump valve.

The reason for all of that is essentially the speed of adjusting the system and the confidence check that the gauge allows. It is now really fast to get to the pressure I want and really fat to glance at the gauge when I stop for gas to ensure it is not leaking. Not very expensive or fancy - but a solid improvement in ease of use.

Actually I read on mine that you are supposed to load the truck first, then add air to level the truck.

I tow a TT and I love them. I used the T fitting, and for a year have had no problems. Some slide in bed campers are heavier on one side (slide) so I could see that having the capability to add air to just one would be helpful.

But for my application I wanted it to be equalizing. I have the 1000 HD. Well worth the price.

The lateral weight balance of the trailer will have no impact on the lateral balance of the tow vehicle.

For a TT yes that's why I did like I did. But a slide in camper top that sits in the bed does affect it.

Oh, I see. I totally misread that. My mistake - I bet those configurations could be really unbalanced.
