What are these things?

A friend mine just bought a used Born Free. On the drivers side there are 2 fittings that I don't know what are. And in the bumper there is a small, maybe 1.5" round recessed and covered area with 4 other fittings in it.
What are these?

    Even 2 seconds of air may burst the air bags. Until you know, GO SLOW!

    By the way, the supplemental air springs don't hold a whole lot of air. A spurt of a couple seconds will bring them up to pressure, and a few taps with a tire gauge or whatever will bring them down if needed.

    Keep hold of those nice metal valve stem caps on them; the notched pointy end is a valve core remover/installer/tightener, and rather handy to have when you need one.
  • Yes standard air conn. Start out with about 50psi. Than adjust for ride and handling.
  • Thanks! Do those air fittings take just a regular schrader fitting?
  • 1. is a 4 pin trailer plug and 2. is valve stems for air bags on the suspension.
