Air Lift SmartAir
Has anyone used the Air Lift SmartAir automatic compressor system for their air bags? I'm trying to decide on what compressors system to get. Thanks Jeff

I have the SmartAir system, I installed a digital air gauge in the cab so I can see the air pressure, also two switches. One switch turns the system on and off, since most of the time I found I didn't need it always adjusting the air pressure while driving. The second is a dump valve control, allowing me to dump out all the air.
I love it!
When going to tow I fill the bed with everything we are taking and all the people in the truck, then allow it to auto level. Just switch it off after that and the airbags are picking up the trucks extra load. Hook up to the trailer and go. When you get to the camp ground turn on the dump switch and let the airbags deflate, making unloading and unhitching much easier.
If I tow empty, going to maintenance, wash, etc. I found I only need 5 to 10 psi in the airbags for the best ride. I can get that by allowing the system to auto level, then using the dump switch and gauge lower the pressure to the desired amount.
The second best thing is if you send someone else to pick stuff in your truck, just leave the auto level on and you know they will not have to mess with it.
