I use an angled double chuck similar to this one:
But any of the three will work. I tried out my small portable compressor and it fits on both of the valves. If the hose were a stiff hose, then it probably would not work.

You go around a corner and the compressor kicks on, it senses a change in and trys to level the truck out. I've also heard and read that you lose some offroad travel with airbags. |
They do offer it but it costs extra. The compressor and single gauge setup costs about the same as the airbags did. I don't need the on-board compressor that much. But it would be nice to have a dual gauge setup and an on-board air tank. A friend had a bagged Yukon with an on-board compressor. He pulled it off and went back to stock. So I am trying to see what he did with that system and if he will sell it to me for a good price.
I've heard that as long as you are at the minimum 5 lbs of pressure, then the bags should have almost no effect on the suspension offroad. The 5 lbs are just to make sure the bags don't fold and pinch, which could create a leak in the bag. It's not like I go buck wild offroading in my truck.
