I ordered the airlift 89289 with Daystar cradle as many have. On that set up there’s no issues. What I don’t understand is the compressor set up. Ideally I want it to be able to keep the bags full but I also want to be able to use it as a regular air compressor for tires and such. Can you guys help recommend a kit of parts to put together to make it happen.

Is there any way to make one of the airlift systems work with this idea. I love the wireless and simplicity of them. I guess is there a way to branch off that compressor with another line

you need to look at the spec's of the compressor and see what the max runtime is. Alot of the compressor systems for airbags do not have the constant runtime to inflate a tire without overheating.

Look at the Airlift system with the 2 gallon tank. It'll do what you're wanting.

One thing I have seen on air bag set ups is to link the two air bags together on a common line with bypass so you isolate each bag on its own. Run them separate when on the road to act as added anti sway devise and then have valve you open to link them when off road to give more articulation. When you are doing heavy off roading I would think to run them at very low pressure anyway.

Had a PAC-AIR exhaust break on my Duramax, and just used a tee and fittings to run the AIR-LIFT bags and a quick connect for an air hose.
