Incomplete air ride?

Hi guys, I recently have purchased a project and I'm trying to find out all the missing pieces.
It has bags installed on all 4 corners and airlines are run to them.

Here are the pictures.
Pleas help me find out what I am missing.

Thanks
John

That looks like a tiny compressor!
You'll need airline run from the compressor to the tank. A check valve between compressor and tank. Airline from tank to valves. Airline from valves to bags. And all the fittings that coincide.

Then a keyed relayed power source to power the compressor.

Airline routing.

Re: Incomplete air ride?

From top to bottom, guages, switches, manifold. It just so happens that all three of those are combined in your setup. So that part of the picture is irrelevant to you.

So on yours you'll have one airline going from the compressor to the switches, and 4 coming out of the switches, one to each bag.

Re: Incomplete air ride?

Sweet, thanks for the explanation.


one more thing, is there a place that I can buy the check valve and fittings from a local store? Or do I have to buy online?


thanks

Re: Incomplete air ride?

Most likely it'll be cheaper online. Check our suspension vendors. They usually have deals for forum members. There might be a few places locally as well if you'd prefer to go that route. Most of the local fittings and airline I get, are from big rig accessory shops like Fleet Pride, or something similar.

Re: Incomplete air ride?

You can mount them just about anywhere you got room,From in the bed to the outside of the frame rails under the bed or even under the rear of the bed
