Can a Dual Path Compressor System be Used with Air Bags and Air Safe Hitch in 2008 Chevy Silverado

Question:

I want to purchase a set of Air Lift 5000 Ultimate bags for my chevy 2008 3500HD I tow a 12,500lb 5th wheel trailer using an Air Safe Hitch I would like a dual line compressor system where I can use one line and gauge to fill the air bags and the other line and gauge to fill and monitor my hitch. Any suggestions?

You could use a dual path compressor system to control the air pressure in air bags on your 2008 Chevy Silverado 3500HD and the Air Safe hitch provided the psi range for the air bags is within the capabilities of the compressor system (0 to 100 psi for most systems).

For a basic compressor system with analog gauges you can use # AL25651. This is a wired system. If you are looking for a wireless system you can use # AL74000. This system will automatically maintain the pressure in the air bags within 3 psi of what you have it set to.

For LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate systems for your truck you can use # AL88275 for 2- or 4-wheel drive models. I have linked a video showing an example installation for you.
