I had air bags as only addition on my F450 flatbed and loved them.
Even when empty I would keep 30 psi in them as that smoothed jerking while crossing freeway joints.
I used Firestone dual valve, dual gauge assemble and mounted it with inflation valve on the side of driver seat. This way I could observe the pressure each time entering the truck.
Than I had a compressor with long cord on it. Whenever I needed to add air, I would pull the compressor and hook up to inflation assemble and pump to desired pressure. My system would hold the air for weeks, so I only had to inflate it when I put heavy stuff on the bed (I used to carry 10,000lb).
This way compressor would stay in clean place and I could use it for inflating tires using long cord and no hassle of complicated lines developing leaks.
The only thing I had to observe was not to start the compressor while under pressure, as that would burn cigarette lighter fuse.
