Very easy to instal, should only take about a hour to do both sides. All you need is basic hand tools.

Great, I think you will like them. I sure do like mine, I put the fill port inside of the wheel well. I didn't want to drill a hole in anything important. Are you getting the compressor?

Re: firestone airbags----EZ to install??

Some guys run the ports to the stepbumper and have a bulkhead fitting there. Just another idea...

I don't need them, but sure like the idea of having them...

I have the compressor, but also wanted the ports. I didn't want to run them through the bumper, so I just drilled a hole inside the wheel well, that way if I ever remove it there will be little evidence.

My valves are mounted in the bracket for tow harness 7 pin connector,yeah install is about 1 hr for first side and 10 minutes for the other once you got the hang of it.
