Hi, everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. And today, we're gonna take a look at this Air Lift Air Shock Controller compressor system for air shock absorbers. Now, this system is going to let you monitor and automatically adjust the air pressure in your shock absorbers with this onboard compressor that you see here in my hands and this single gauge dash panel without leaving your driver's seat. Now, this is gonna come with universal fittings that will connect to most aftermarket and factory air shocks. And it includes everything that you see here in front of me.
You're gonna get this onboard compressor. And then you are gonna get this single gauge dash panel. And you're gonna have a switch here to inflate your air shocks. You just push and hold to inflate. Then you also have a button here to deflate your air shocks, this silver one right here.
And you are gonna get air lines, and you're also gonna get the hardware that you are going to need, and set of instructions for your compressor and for the installation of the rest of your system. And this does have a maximum air pressure of 160 psi. Well, that's gonna conclude our brief look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy.
Thank you for joining me..

With an onboard air compressor and a single-gauge dash panel, this system lets you control the air pressure in your shock absorbers without leaving the driver's seat. The universal fittings connect to most aftermarket and factory shocks.The compressor kit is compact and complete. Installing it did away with manually testing pressure, and hand pumping at the schrader valves while filling my Firestone Air Bags. I was able to install it in a blank compartment over the passenger side rear wheel well in my Toyota FJ cruiser. This allowed me to keep the FJ stock look with no extra holes drilled or visible gauge.
I'm very happy with my purchase. I have it on my 05 Titan and I pull a dump trailer that I've hauled 6 ton on ,I air up my bags to 45 lbs while I'm hauling then push the button and air down to 10lbs with no issues.
I bought this to go with the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle. I asked online if they were compatible and was told yes. when I installed everything, I had to go buy an extra T conection for the air lines coming from the air bags. Napa did have the T that I needed.
For the money, this set-up is hard to beat.
I installed it on my 2002 Toyota Tundra TRD 4x4 along with a set of Firestone Ride-Rite airbags to aid in leveling out the truck when pulling large trailers.
I ran into some issues installing the supplied gauge panel- in the tundra there is litterally no place to mount the panel aside from the dash pocket on the driver side. Unfortunately, this pocket houses my electric brake controller as I like it close by in case I need to manually override the brakes by the lever on the unit.
My solution was to remove the lower, center dash panel and cut the holes to house the gauges.
This proved to be no simple task as the srs airbag pcm is located right behind this panel- i had to trim the pcm mount, elongate the mounting holes in effort to slide the srs pcm back enough to allow clearance for the gauge. I also ended up using an angled trim from auto meter to aid in this as well.
When wiring the lights for the gauge i tapped into one of the illuminated trim rings for the factory power outlets- this allows the gauge illumination to only come on when the headlights are turned on.
I decided to mount the actual compressor under the center of the bed on a support rail using a custom bracket made of 1/8" steel plate as there is really not much room for it in the cabin and my storage cubbys under the seat are already full.
The only downside to this compressor is that it takes a good while to reach 100 psi on the gauge. This is why I rated 4 stars instead of 5- Im sure the addition of an air tank would help tremendously.
FYI- Fastenal carries the proper push fittings for 1/4" air lines- i needed two extra tee's (about $20 for both) as i wanted schrader valves to remotely fill it if the compressor decided to give up the ghost.
Easy to install and works great. Had an issue with the gauge accumulating moisture. Air Lift replaced it at no charge.
Easy install great service amazing product. I pull a 5th wheel and haul ATV and sled in the box pulled bobcats this setup has made awesome improvements to the ride and handling of my 14 5.5 box quad cab f150 thanks etrailer
Fantastic information and service, very satisfied
It seems like a great product but I have to get some different fitting s to hook to shocks when I get time to put it on I will send pictures and reviews
Very easy install!! Haven’t played with it much but pic attached is only 80psi to 20 psi!
Very excited that it shipped before the projected date. And arrived early. However, it was the wrong part. I ordered the 160 pound compressor. I received the 100 pound compressor. Pity. The info and manuals were fir the 160 pound compressor. But, the compressor was not. Drew, customer service, appears competent and certainly apologetic. He assured me it would be resolved soon. We’ll see

I will have our customer service team reach out to you to follow up.
The onboard compressor works as advertised! It makes load leveling a snap when carrying a heavy load or pulling the 20’ trailer. This was a great purchase!
Still working fine no leaks even. Compressor is hidden behind a wall panel. The switch and gague are near the trunk release on the dash.
It solved the loading problem for my Buckeye Tailgate vehical.
Easy to replace the air compressor. Order was received promptly and the website was very easy to maneuver.
