Cheap Onboard Air Bag System

I rigged this up for about $50 on my 2005 duramax. I use it to inflate firestone air springs for when my truck is loaded. I used a scuba tank that I had for reservior. A compressor will be added later.

i just bought a duramax and it has this airbag system on it.

i have no idea how to use it, but it has two valve inlets coming out of the bumper!

any help on how to air them up and operated them would be appreciated!

Yours is probably set up so that each valve inlet control one air bag.

max pressure is 100 lbs. i run about 55 lbs when pulling a 36 ft 5th wheel camper. makes the ride much smoother.

[bnowlin001]

It's for a firestone ride-rite air springs. I suppose I should have included that bit of important information.

Just get a air seat valve from a semi truck seat, then you only need one valve to inflate or deflate. Might as well mount it in the cab too.
