Hey Jeff,

The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57345 include Shrader valves and mounting jam nuts to mount the valves around the rear of the vehicle (typically right by the license plate) so that you can air the springs up when near a compressor. If you want to add a compressor in at a later date then the most common way would be to just mount the compressor and run the lines out from it to their respective springs and then just tee them into the line so that you can use the onboard compressor or use a compressor from wherever you're at.

If you haven't picked one out yet my favorite is the Air Lift WirelessONE Compressor System # AL25980EZ. It comes with a bracket to mount to the frame without having to drill into it. It can be activated/monitored with the included remote or Bluetooth app so there's no extra lines to run or holes you'll need to drill into the dash.
