I used their WirelessAir (P/N 72000) system on my 2500HD while I had those bags. Worked great. The compressor is large enough for the bags, but don't expect to run anything else off of it. I doubt the Ram is that much different, so check to see if you have room on the backside of one of the rear wheel wells facing the cab. Tons of room on my truck there, so that is where I chose to mount it. I removed the wheel well lining (replaced it after), drilled holes for bolts, fed them through the wheel well (tire side, under the bed), then mounted the compressor to them on the other side. Mounted the manifold right beside it. I was able to mount it high enough where it remained clean of road debris and muck no matter what I went through. I wouldn't mount it under the hood due to heat and didn't want to run air lines into the cab.
Actually, there is a perfect carpeted covey hole under the the drivers side rear seat. I was concerned about it being too loud there and if it would get too hot being enclosed.
I doubt it would get to hot from being enclosed in the cab by itself. I run my current (much larger) compressor in an enclosed box bolted to the frame, and it stays within operating specs even on hot Texas summer days. If you want to run the air lines into the cab, that should work, but I wouldn't want to run them under the carpet and that is a long run of line. It'll also be annoying when it kicks on. I'd personally go under the truck, where I recommended in my earlier post. Alternately, I'd fabricate a
hard plastic box (be sure to add vents) to mount to the frame and mounted it in there under the truck.
