Still working on the decision between Firestone vs Airlift kits and the wireless compressors. Today I was reading about difference in WirelessAir and WirelessOne. I understand the difference of single or double pass. Just not sure of real pros and cons of either while hauling a 5th wheel. The truck is only used for the 5th wheel and not other hauling. The reason I ask is because of reading comments like:"Wirelessone: If both bags are on one valve the air will shift from one to the other while turning with a heavy load. However, if the load is distributed evenly it will also return to even once you straight out."Anyone with experiences on either of these systems? Any concerns with using the WirelessOne?

I had the Firestone air bags on my last truck and after many years of running them tee"d together I put them on separate fills,pulled my fifth wheel for many more years and honestly could not tell any difference. When I bought my current truck I installed the Firestone air bags with the Airlift Wireless Compressor ( single fill) and could not be happier.

I installed Airlift and tee'd them together and they work fine without an onboard compressor because I only use them for hauling the fiver and leave about 10lbs in them when not hauling.

Some claim there is a difference , but I haven't been able to see any.My present truck is the wireless Airlift 72000 with the AirLift Ultimate airbags. I like the remote control on the system, and of course not having to run any electrical or airlines into the cab.Having had both the AirLift ,and Firestone, its a **** shot. I bought the AirLift this last time because of price, and their rebate. So far after two years no complaints.

I went all AirLift this time with no complaints.
