Got em and love them also,I went without the onboard compressor.I bought a 12V portable compressor I keep in my bed storage area.When needed I pull it out and plug it into the power outlet in the bed.
I went against the mounting instructions and put a "T" connector between the two lines so I wouldn't have to worry about balancing the two bags independently.I ran the air hoses throught the frame rails for a really clean look and installed the valve stem on the bracket that holds the 7 pin connector on my tow hitch.
When making my decision,I compared the Ride Rite's to the Airlift's side by side,the Ride Rites seemed much more heavy duty.Note also if your truck is lifted you can purchase "cans" which are round steel spacers to mount under the bags that correspond with the height of your lift blocks on the leaf springs
