Tox your awesome! I love your write-ups, and quality of workmanship!!! I install about 1 of these a week, and you did it exactly how I do mine everytime! The red airline is quite thick and im sure it could wear thru so I too put split loom over the entire lines. (I also do it because I dont like seeing red anywhere underneath the truck. It doesnt belong.) I too always install them in the gas door, for a few reasons, looks, easy checking and filling, and the cheap 12v compressor. But the wont go in the gas door in a 2000 and up Dodge 1ton van if anyone cares. I try to always direct ppl to try the bags out first without the compressor and really see how often you need to change the pressure, and then gauge whether the compressor would be worth while. For most its not. Im not sure what you carry with your truck, but half of the compressor kits fill both bags equally. The other half keep them separate. I prefer to keep the bags separate, if you cary any weight in your p/u box and your center of gravity is higher you want to have them separate. A few other things, the bags need a minimium of 5 psi at all times and a max of 100psi, but thats insane! If the truck will ever be going onto a 2 post hoist, you will need to chain the axle up so that the axle is suspending from the bags, and tear them off. Thats about all I can add, beautiful install, great write-up, I love reading your posts!
