[QUOTE="Nickshu, post: 1383799, member: 33806"] Here is the finished product. I test drove today and at 5psi on the street you can't even tell the bags are there. I took four neighborhood speed humps at full speed (25-35mph) and still can't tell the bags are there. There is no significant effect on suspension travel that I can tell. I connected everything to the Wireless One Airlift compressor and put in an in-line schrader valve as an emergency backup if the compressor were ever to fail. I connected the "wakeup" wire on the compressor to one of the overhead AUX switches, this keeps the compressor "awake" whenever the switch is turned on. I ran the system up to 100psi, sprayed some soapy water to check for leaks, all good. I added some wire casing/tubing to the plastic air line in a couple places where it looks like it might get hit with tire spray...both on the air line and compressor wiring. One note on the install, on my 2019 there is a bracket on the inside of the right side frame that holds some electrical connectors. In order to use the pre-existing holes in the frame this put my bolt right under this bracket. I just bent the bracket out by about 3/16" with a pry bar and cut my bolt off to be flush with the nut and it bolted up great. (However I did unbolt and remove the bracket when drilling to avoid hitting anything). See the photo below of this area. One cool thing about this install is that the only irreversible thing is the 4 holes drilled on the inner aspect of the frame to mount the brackets (pre-existing holes used at outer box of the frame). If you removed the setup aside from these holes everything is completely reversible. I will post my feedback when I get a chance to tow my trailer/racecar with the setup soon. Thanks again to [USER=22519]@Renomaan[/USER] for figuring out this solution!!
