Let me start this by saying not sure if this should go into Lifted or Towing & Hauling.

I want to install the Air Ride 1000 (https://www.airliftcompany.com/shop/60818/) and as of right now I am going to use the pig tails/Shreader valves through the license plate.

I would love to install either Factory aftermarket air pump and wire that into if possible the factory RAM air suspension button I don't have the air button but if I could I rather add that instead of adding some ugly ass upfitter, I would pref.

Is that in anyway possible?

Honestly I do not know how the factory air button is wired, but I would not see that being an issue. As long as you get power when you push the button, that would turn on a compressor.

If you are worried about having to add gauges and switches, check out our wireless options. Throw the remote in the glove box and you would never know you have a compressor system installed. www.airliftcompany.com/products/compressor-systems/

Let me know if you have any questions!

I put my valves in the holes in the hitch. Right behind where the safety chains hook on.
The holes are already there, and the right size to not need any extra washers.

hitch wouldve been a good idea. doh. i put mine by my license plate. definitely wasnt going to drill my bumper like airlifts instructional video.

also, the wireless one is a nice kit. the remote is the size of a garage door opener and i keep mine in my center console so you'd never know i added it on. i like that the compressor keeps the bags at the set psi all the time. when it got cooler, the compressor kicked in briefly at start up one morning to bring it back to 5psi. ive developed a small leak somewhere and now it adds a little air almost daily but its better than having to keep manually filling it. gotta find that leak before winter....

I love those wirless ones too, but i cant get my mind over $500-700 bucks for the wireless, i would rather somehow wire it through the cab or little switch in the bed of the truck i wouldnt mind that
