From what I can see, it doesn't look like the EZ Mount On-Board Air Compressor (25980EZ) has the option to allow you to hook up to it for air compressor needs outside of the air bags - is that correct?

It looks like if I want to go this route and replace my portable air compressor with onboard air, I would need to go the route of the WirelessAir Tank plus EZ Mount (74100EZ)?
I do have a backup valve they placed in the truck bed compartment on the passenger side in case my compressor goes out I can hook up a portable compressor.

What do you keep your air bags at (PSI) when not towing/needing them? I have them at around the minimum recommended of 5psi and the ride is jarring when not towing/loaded down...moreso than the Alldogs springs.

I did install the cradles for off roading, they work perfect. I'm super satisfied with the air lift and recommend it.
Do you know the cradle part number you used? I'm looking at the universal air spring cradle, 52500- was this what you used? Did you need the spacer to bring it closer to the air spring?

When I had the bags in my tundra I would drain all the air out of them when not hauling or towing. I know the manufacturer does not like that but i never had any issues in the 7 years they were on the truck and yes I had the cradles. They are a must when going off-road or putting the truck up on a auto lift

Yes, universal is what I used. I remember calling to check and it works perfect. I don't have a spacer from airlift. I have a spacer/collar lift from ironman 3 inch in front, 1 inch in back

The manufacturer and the person that installed them recommends 5lbs. When driving around town at that pressure I feel no difference in ride quality.

The cradles remove an inch or two of travel from the air bags so they are compressed more when cradles are installed. The ride was incredibly harsh for me - harsher than the Alldogs rear springs.

I'm back to stock springs in the rear with no air bags :cwl: It isn't worth a harsh ride 95% of the time. I'll deal with the relatively minor squat when towing my trailer.

Yeah. I don’t have cradles. Maybe that’s the limiting factor.
